Yes. I grew up with my grandparents. I noticed little subtle hints at "separation" that they used. I could never watch black TV shows(Cosby Show, Jefferson's when i was growing up). My home wasn't outright racist. I never heard the N-word being used and black people weren't talked about at all in the home. Not because we weren't allowed to. We just didn't. My grandparents(when I first moved in with them) lived in Decatur(Columbia Dr.). They moved out when the black folks started moving in. When I brought home my first daughter(black), and then my wife(Japanese), they were very upset. Wouldn't have anything to do with my new family. After a year of no talking, they finally invited us all over to their house. Now, 15 years later, my daughter still talks to them all the time and things are good. They are the minority in their neighborhood now and things are great. Later, QD.
