Richard-I think the fact that you grew up in the South made it much different. I don't mean to make you out to be an old dude but tensions were probably still high when you were in school.

We had 3 black students at my high school. One was flaming gay, one was a complete jock, and one was a rocker. The high school on the other end of town was predominantly black students.

My favorite teacher was a black lady. I didn't see her as black at the time I just liked her as my 5th grade teacher. Oddly, my sister bought her house last year.
