The people I grew up with--we all know this. But when I talk to people on the internet, like my friends in
the north, they don't. They can't process it when I tell them, “No. I was segregated. I wasn't allowed to
do this. And no, I wasn't allowed to sit here.” And to them they can't process because we are the exact
same age, and they can't see that blacks and whites grew up like that. We still had to still use the back
door in the nineties when I was little. So, it’s one of those...it's hard trying to explain to them and
they're like, “What?” And me, I don’t understand how they didn’t experience that because we all... all me
and my friends experienced that. So why didn't yall experience that? So, it’s one of those . . . it’s like
a culture shock because you're telling me you didn’t go through it, and I’m telling you that I went
through it.
