My dad thanks my grandfather for not passing on the southern cause mentality onto him. When my grandpa was a boy in Louisiana, he watched segregation end, but he was young enough to where it wasn’t yet engrained in his mind that this was ‘bad’ from the Dixiecrat point of view. his mother would smack him with the razer edge of a ruler for simply referring to black women as “ladies” and talking to them, because she didn’t consider them human.
