In 2021, my father was hired as a white-collar worker by a business in Holly Springs, Mississippi.
49% black and 51% white make up Holly Springs.
99% of the students in Holly Springs’ public schools are black.
However, there is a private “Christian academy” in the community where *just so happens* that 99% of the students are white.
Dad only held the position for three weeks. Everyone turned him away because he refused to join either the white “side” or the black “side.” You can’t help but be racist because of the social structure in the area.

The “I miss the days when people knew their place” crowd is still trying to keep that alive.
