I lived in a small town in GA for a few years in the late 80s and early 90s and have no problem believing this. It was maybe 86 or so before blacks were allowed to use the public pool in town and that only happened because the navy was building a base in town and put a stop to the segregation. In school it was alot like pangavan said. Most of us navy brats didnt care that much about color but still the blacks and whites usually kept to their own groups because of shared interests. Its kind of like the jocks hanging out with the jocks and the geeks hanging out together.
