@paulcox Yes. Because racism is a lie that's much easier to maintain with a little distance. There were at least some Alabama players whose first sustained exposure to a real live Black person was on that team. At least a few of them became less racist as a result of those encounters.
In general, having close Black coworkers does a lot to reduce racism.
Which is part of why there is less anti-Black sentiment among working class white folks, than wealthy white folks.🙂🙃
