i wouldn't know really since it's the ignorant who were the prejudiced.
many whites accepted blacks... long before that. i never knew a white person who didn't and were ever slave owners... so i'm not sure really.
segregation was a political motivation... i think most of it was really unessesary.. many suffered on both sides of this issue needlessly.
i still think it's ignorance and politics.
it's a shame.. i'm not sure if it all matters or it does.
sometimes i come across people of color and who are white who just seem nasty on the topic for no reason... it's like many want to be angry.
i guess i'm being a fatalist.
