I do not think anyone was saying that every single person was a redneck. Let us not start acting like Black people were not dealing with very serious racism and did not have to deal with things that anyone else in society was dealing with. All my family is from the South. I do not know anyone that was Black that lived at that time did not have to do things differently in order to survive some serious racism. You cannot compare the Cincinnati team that was in the north and did not have legal segregation. I guess you have never listened to Oscar Robinson talk about his upbringing and his experiences when they played in the south while at Cincinnati.

Either you have never listen to players from that area talk (NBA, College, HS), read a book about the issue or never talked to a single Black person that lived in that era. I know that this was just a movie, but you cannot be serious to think the way you do.

Peace
