"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." I was much older before I realized that was racial code. "
It's not. It's to keep the Hobos and Assholes out.

Sure, them, too, true. But, you don't need a sign for that. No, 'round thse parts in those days it was racist. I know my peeps.

A few counties over, right into the 1970s, the little local rag had emblazoned on their masthead. "The sun doesn't set on a n****r in [name of town]."

I'm perversely in agreement sorta with Oprah (gurgle) that such attitudes can't die out fast enough. And glad to report that by and large things were vastly improved. Right up til the Great Divider won.
