Remember When
Las Vegas was the first major US city to legally desegregate, and supposedly, other cities used the Moulin Rouge Accords as the basis for relaxing their race-based laws.

Especially, the commingling of blacks and whites. Some of these videos have a black guy and a white girl walking down the street, and he has his arm around her. This just did not happen. In 1964, Frank Sinatra had to force Caesar's Palace. to let Sammy Davis Jr. stay there. There was only one hotel in Las Vegas where black people could stay, and it was not Caesar's Palace. AI videos are trying to rewrite history. Is not. going to work.

No that was not 1964, that had to be way before 1964. By 1964 few places outside of the former CSA had any interest in segregation.

During the filming of Ocean's Eleven in 1960, Sammy Davis Jr. had to stay at a colored-only hotel.

Yeah. No. My city had de facto segregation in county pools until 69 or 70. Places had it just not labeled colored and white.

Was it not self-imposed segregation? I remember in the 70s and 80s in both high school and college the black kids had their own tables in the lunchrooms. Nobody told them they had to, a riot didn't start when a white guy sat there or a black guy sat somewhere else. But I had no desire at all to insert my Caucasoid countenance into that environment they had created by their own preference, and I did not feel discriminated against or segregated because of it. A lot of things worked out that way where things just became "where the black people go" or "intended for white people" with no enforcement. That way people who were sensitive about that had a place to go where they can avoid either experiencing or causing discomfort.
