Conservatives always seem to be in the process of attempting to roll
the clock back to the 1950s, but there's a small town in Florida
that's tired of all the talk and is actually doing something about it.
Perry, Florida, made the news back in 2001 when a black lawmaker from
Maryland was told at a local bar that he would only be served if he
sat in back.
And last week Perry made the news again when another black man was
allegedly told by motel owner Raj Patel that "coloreds aren't allowed
in the pool."
Patel, who is Indian, said, "Everybody is welcome who pays me. I'm not
against any color. My skin is not white, I'm brown."
But according to the Associated Press, "The attorney general said he
doubted Patel's version, saying the investigation was based on
'multiple witnesses.'"
Can somebody please give Florida a call and let them know that this is
the 21st Century?
