Some of those people (or their children) are still having breakdowns because a black person is in the same store :(

I think a lot of us have picked up, been taught, this idea that like "the past had bad stuff but it's over now, and everyone's better, and everyone who was fighting for bad things realized the errors of their ways and repented".

They were raised by people who, in their day, could outright lynch that person with the consent, if not support, of the (local) law.
