“It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other in any game of cards or dice, dominoes or checkers.”

This is an example of a racist Jim Crow law that was placed in Alabama in 1930. I think this law is impractical and I wonder why it would be passed. If the people are scared that they will be infected with a black person's 'disease' then why would they be playing checkers with them in the first place! It makes me sad to think that even if a little black boy and white girl wanted to play Go Fish together they couldn't! But if the two children became friends then they could maybe rise up for anti-segregation and get married and so that's why this law would be passed. So I guess I sort of understand.
