In any case, what I heard spoken from the mouths of some people in Nashville was not indicative of a lack of skin colour induced prejudice. The suspicion some white folks held against any black person in took me by complete suprise. I had actually never encountered such prejudice.
On an aside, I recently suffered some prejudice myself. From an "old moneyed" Yankee. A totally unfamiliar experience. My nation of birth was held against me, as well as my faith and my choice of career. Interesting country.
