Where did these bigots get their education?! Do we need to start all over again with the marches and calls for integration?? "Eyes on the Prize" needs to be required viewing in schools in areas that these bigots represent. That documentary shocked me even though I grew up in a fairly progressive city and thought I was informed. And I also blame TFG, who we know was cited for refusing to rent to Black families, along with his bigoted father - since his prejudices have given permission to his fellow bigots to freely express their views.
