Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any white person being arrested for trying to get service at a blacks-only anything? Or were there no such establishments?
I see shit like this and can’t believe how recent it was. Makes me sad. And makes me want to be more kind to everyone.
This picture hits hard.
Crazy how asking a question *doesn’t* relieve the ignorance. I wasn’t asking for a political lecture, nor was I attempting to spawn one. I was asking if white people visited or even frequented non-whites-only establishments, because maybe they liked the products, services or even the very black folks there, or maybe protesting on their behalf, and did they pay consequences for it? Did blacks have their own, or were Mexicans running in and out, etc.? I really despise that everyone’s gotta try to read between the lines instead of simply taking words at face value, like I’m writing a different language that needs to be translated.Thank you for fielding what you thought was the question, and yes, it is ignorant. That’s what questions are for.
