[QUOTE="malcolypse, post: 5822760, member: 92042"] Coincidences happen. ( <- This statement was intended to accompany xp for you, but apparently I agree with you too often. So stop speaking rightly so often and this will no longer be an issue.) I've never seen anything in the Deadlands book that indicated to me that racism disappeared with the end of slavery any more than it did in the real world. Everything I've gotten from the book just seems to imply that because of the circumstances around how slavery was abolished the Civil Rights Movement got a 75 year head start. Equality is still a long term goal, and while slavery has ended there are no laws in place to ensure equal treatment. That's why so many of the newly freed slaves have headed west, where societal norms are challenged more easily by anyone, regardless of skin color, with valuable skills and the will to make something of themselves.
