But, in the last 5 years, there is apparently a newer, very hostile attitude, motivated by recent politics, that seems to be creating a setback. So, all I can say is that I observed a dramatic change and improvement in cultural and social relations during that time period. Many were business owners, and I observed them eventually putting black people in trusted positions in their businesses, which was also a dramatic change from 10 years before. The parents had attended segregated schools.

Their children, while in grade school, began to criticize their parents' attitudes and language, and the parents slowly changed.

Over the years, I saw dramatic changes: those same people 10 years later had close friends who were black, and their children dated and socialized normally with black people.

These people were not involved in any hostile actions, nor did they express hostility, but they seemed to have learned from their parents a very condescending attitude. When I first moved to Florida (near Lakeland) many years ago, I was alarmed by the many people I met who used racist terminology.
