It's not that I don't believe this wouldn't happen, because I am 100% certain it would and did. I'm just curious if anyone has any verification that that's what's going on here?
I'll say it again, I really don't understand the downvotes on this websites... People seem nice af, and yet everytime someone tries to express an opinion slightly controversial, its an instant red arrow....
God damnit, he clearly stated that he wasn't gonna pretend that 1000 situations as this one happenened and that it was fucked up, just that he wished to know if someone had proof that it was the case in THAT exact situation. (ie : source)
I could post the same picture captioning it 'Black woman standing up to go ask Elvis for an autograph.'... Would I be wrong ? Yes I most likely would. Would you down vote someone asking for a proof that the BS I'm claiming is correct ?
I kind of gave up understanding it awhile ago tbh haha. I always seem to annoy at least a couple people on this site-- usually when I ask questions for some reason. :)
Your Last paragraph was literally my main reason for asking. Decided I may as well poke around myself though, and so far every site I've seen seems to indicate she was, indeed, being made to stand in a segregated diner. The sources do indicate that she wasn't denied her breakfast, however-- she was waiting for a sandwich to be served to her. Not that that makes much difference

See? Happens every time. I mostly find it funny at this point. Someone (or someones more likely) has been offended by being presented with all of the facts, or my existence in general, and the universe is back to normal.
I don't see any breakfast in front of her. Don't assume she is being treated unfairly in this photograph just because of your preconceived ideas about a time and place neither you nor a single of your friends or relatives ever experienced.
Oh and that dude looks just like Jerry Lee Lewis!
Marital rape wasn't considered rape in some states then. Native American families could have their kids taken away from them and brought to boarding schools that stopped them from speaking their native languages. Not to mention all the eugenics stuff going on. And rights for the disabled were terrible.
Things are way better than they were 30 years ago. We shouldn't be trying to make America great again, because right now is the greatest period in America for anyone who's not a white man, we should just be trying to make it greater
