Of course, such a story HAS to be a lie, doesn't it?
There is no reason for me to suspect she was lying about this, as she was
NOT the type to 'pull one's leg' over anything, let alone a subject of
this magnitude...
Her husband, also from the South, related similar experiences...
As have blacks of an older generation than their's...you see, I HAVE
talked to more than one black person who grew up in the South...

I suppose you would like us to believe that the KKK doesn't even
exist....
I suppose all those lynched blacks hung themselves....

That's not the point...the point of my statement was that these college-
educated blacks -- who got their education at BLACK colleges, since they
weren't 'allowed' to attend the white state colleges -- could not find
employment in their field in the South, due to their skin color...they
had to come North to gain employment in the field they'd gotten their
degree in...

That is what I'm asking....

They at least had the opportunity to be shift supervisors and managers...
or college professors in integrated colleges, managers of integrated
businesses....

I was using the wording the previous poster had used, in stating that
blacks were 'allowed' to work 'equally' with whites in the fields when
'all the able bodied men' were away at war...so I just wanted to know how
many blacks also 'worked equally' with whites in positions of authority
in the factories and offices, when the 'abled bodied men' who'd worked
there were also off to war...
