They also didn't like us out late messing around. I had folks who remembered well about being young. We could hardly get away with ANYTHING.

But that is neither here nor there.

No one with any kind of moral and caring hearts likes to made a judgment about anyone due to race or ethnicities or religion....to hurt one person because of the actions of others of the same color or religion or way of dressing is awful. But sometimes the safety of the majority makes tough decisions necessary.

Sorry, Gracie, but Monkei speaks the truth. I also had long hair in the late 60s and early 70s and yes, police did pull me over many, many times because of the length of my hair and search my car. They wouldn't even deny that was why. No one cried to anyone. We had as much right to long hair as you had to that B52 hairdo you probably had
