The no shoes, falls under segregation. Remember separate but equal. If there was only one shoe store, then the black person came up short. There were/are laws stating they could take your money but white business owners couldn?t treat you as a human. The owners would say it is the law, to any black that questioned the mis-treatment.

The reason that I said are laws: the laws still exist, there are just classified as unconstitutional.
 
All I can say is, I'm glad I came along when I did....I would have been hung back in those days.

Whether you want to believe it or not. You would have adapted to the situation. Black folks have been know to adapted to some of the worst conditions is history.
 
Well my father (who is 64) told me that you couldn't try on isht in the store.. You just had to make your best guess and go for it.. There were no refunds or exchanges... Times were real hard for everyone involved. Seperate restrooms (if they had a colored one at all) Jim Crow laws, and the such fire me up.. I have been watching hallmark channel all month..

You know that there is always a love part and a freaky part in a movie. Well, they just put the two parts together and showed her mother listened to them gettin busy. Thats all.

That's what I was saying, especially when the lady said she failed test to get her voter's registration and wouldn't let her see how she failed. I jumped at her through the TV then.
