The question isn't whether or not he was prejudiced, but whether or not the bridges were designed to exclude blacks by making them too short for buses. The assumptions that blacks only ride buses and buses carry only blacks are ludicrous.I never said the segregation was neccesarily race based. It's much more clearly a class based segregation based on whether a family owned an automobile or not. At the time this would have effected a greater percentage of black families than white families, but that is a problem generated by the demographics of that period. |
