Sometimes I wonder why my dad is so disillusioned with America but tonight I found out he got ran out of a town in Louisiana for "fraternizing with the coloured folk"....in 1989
Anyways the fact that a lot of Americans are replying with content about how normal this was for the 80s/90s/00s/10s is...really bad
You know that right, guys? Right?

So 30 years ago? Which town? Was it everyone in town or just a tight knit group of bigots? How does this expand to the entire state? Country? Did he find a better town or was it racist everywhere? Has he visited/lived in other countries to measure America by?

I'm not sure what the purpose of this tweet is but the fact that two white English students got chased out of a county at the barrel of a shotgun for going to a cookout is all the measure he needed to make an assessment

In 1985, in Long Beach, CA, we were told by the Elks Lodge pool attendant that in the future we should not bring any black people as our +1s. We werenโt lodge members; a neighbor had given us a pool membership for the summer. Anyway, we never went back.

Iโve literally had people I went to high school with message me death threats, just because majority of my friends are people of color
