You really don’t get it. Again, you are minimizing what life under Jim Crowe was like, making it sound like a minor inconvenience.See? And there you go again, calling me a racist.
I am explaining why it Is NOT comparable between the black man with the government-provided free education who had to sit in a segregated car IF he ventured south and the expensive artwork stolen from Jews by the Nazis when they murdered their parents.
The colors of the group involved have nothing to do with it. One group went through Hell on Earth, and the other group, to which I specifically referred, were educated gratis by our fine country but had to sit in a separate train car IF they went south.
If I were a black man given a free college education by New York, I wouldn’t have gone down South. If he had family down there, he could have used his college-level salary to bring them up here.
Jim Crowe killed people. It corrupted the justice system. It closed the door on many occupations and paid Black workers less. It relegated housing to the worse areas of town. A segregated railroad car often meant Black men riding with livestock…pigs, cows, etc.
You don’t get it and that is why I fail to understand you.
