Not sure going throughCarthage, TN, where the Gores started from (notNashville as I said earlier), would have been thefastest route; it's quite a bit west of Florida and Georgia. Based on my drives through Tennessee and Virginia I would guess the Gores would have traveled up Interstate 81 and would have taken noon meals between Bristol and Lexington. Virginia, not being in the deep South, probably was not as adamant about segregation policies.

I just got through addressing this point but will do so again. Most of those establishments would be very old by now , at least 50 years old or older. Many if not most probably would have gone out of business, changed names, ownerships, moved and again how many places that openly practiced segregation would own up to it now. That would almost guarantee a visit from Jesse Jackson demanding restitution. There was no need to go any further with the story since it was Al's mammie that said she was forced to wait in the car while they ate at whites only restaurants. Why didn't Gore find the restaurants and get testimony from them that they didn't serve "colored" and they were the only restaurants in the vicinity? Your question works both ways.

Given how much they've madeof this account of the Gores to "prove" theircontention of racism, they'd have knocked themselvesout to document the Gores were lying if they couldhave. Most places that had at one time segregated their customers or didn't allow blacks to eat at their establishment wouldn't own up to such a thing these days and we are talking about places that would be 50 years old or older by now. How many would you expect to still be in business? Restaurants, hotels and motels come and go. I doubt the people that made the accusations needed to go any further in proving their point than Al's mammie who had first hand experience and Al Sr.'s voting record on civil rights. As far as Gore Sr. being a staunch segregationist, I doubt that also but at the same time he sure made use of it and tip toed through the tulips. And as I said earlier he was no Martin Luther King. I'm sure he recognized some time that he had to project a different image if he wanted to remain in the Democratic Party and Politics in general as did Robert Byrd.

Arguing is the only level of spiritual discussionwith which Judy is comfortable. Just watch. Everytime the discussion moves into the realm of realexperience, and people here start having conver-sations that she can't join in because she's neverhad any of those experiences, within a couple of days she will start an argument about petty things to bring the level of the conversation down to a level she is comfortable with. It's a ten-year pattern on a.m.t. The appropriate reaction is notfrustration but pity.It's not that she's bad or evil or just trying to fuck us over. It's just that she places alot of stock in the rational mind. She is either a virgo or leo. Probably a virgo with leo ascendent. A frustrated over weening cumpulsive virgin with delusions of self importance. I don't pity her, I just block her emails and I'm a better person for it. Sorry Judy, we tried. I would say Aquarius moon perhaps to lend itself to this sort of topic in the first place.

Encountering a segregated restaurant along the way would have been a rarity. Almost all were integrated. By sometime in the fifties segregation was, for the most part, limited to the country club type establishments, where rich white folks didn't want to be around ANYBODY with less stature then themselves. Most places were integrating some faster than others, and some slower than others. Depending on when the Gores were traveling back and forth between Nashville and DC I find it hard to believe they couldn't find decent food establishments that would accept Al's Mammie. Sounds more like they had a favorite place or two that were higher class and didn't allow "coloreds" and they told Mammie all the places were segregated and they had no choice. Al Gore Sr. I'm sure did some nice token things for black folks as even most segregationists would also do, after all he was in politics. But he was no Martin Luther King.
