Yep, very discriminatory.Good singer, good person and the daughter of a great man. Neither ever complained about the discrimination they both experienced throughout their lives, but always expressed thanks and appreciation for their success. In the fifties Nat was driving through Kentucky with his family when his tire blew out. Some kind person stopped and helped him change the tire.
Think drugs runs so rampant because of the pressure these folks are under. They get the fame and fortune but they are always having to outdo themselves to stay relevant. It's a ton of pressure and most cannot handle it.
