Coonman? Sounds like the whole school was racist. I had a friend in the 70s who married a black man. She moved to the south with him. She had a heart condition I finally talked her into getting corrected. She was Mormon.
She had a heart attack when there and when the ambulance came her black mother in law was with her. She said they were very nice UNTIL they asked her if the woman was her Maid. She said no that’s my mother in law. She said they treated her like shit all the way to the hospital.
She also got some sort of cabin in the woods without mentioning her husband. When they found out about him the KKK came to her house. She knew one of them was the owner of the place and a funny story there too but don’t want to drag it out. I don’t remember how that relationship ended but think he passed away.
I didn’t see this when I was in the south many years later but a sort of reverse segregation. I remember holding the door for a black woman holding a child. Everyone at the restaurant stoped eating and was staring at me. The woman didn’t even look at me and walked through. I thought at first she did that so she wouldn’t get bothered later but noticed they all acted the same. Perhaps that’s what segregation did so why do they want it?
I though well there’s still segregation there and have to pay attention to what I do and don’t do.
Me and a friend from PA walked down town Atlanta and saw I think it was the capital with no whites all blacks laying on the grass. They all were just starring at us and my friend didn’t pick up on it so I told him I think we better turn around go back.Pay attention to where I go as a tourist too. Lol They wouldn’t tslk to you even say hello. Like they didn’t want you around their neighborhood. From Calif wasn’t something I wasnt used to except for gang banger areas. Finally met one at the airport who was really nice but didn’t have a southern accent.
