@blogdiva @LPerry2 I'm not sharing this to downplay the current trend, but to reinforce that Jim Crow mindsets have been way too widespread this whole time:

I've been quietly not served while at a diner with a girlfriend before, and an old roommate had the same thing happen for more than an hour while out with his wife (they're both Latiné, and he's also Black).

This was all in Southern California, Orange or LA County beach towns—places you'd imagine would be on board with the law set by Loving v. Virginia.

We need another wave of Civil Rights activism. We've needed the movement to continue all along.
