Additional Details

This mail-order company, offering 45 rpm recordings by 'top artists' is an example of how deeply ingrained racism was in American society as recently as the 1970's. This company offered a variety of 'rib-ticklers' like 'Nigger Hatin' Me,' with the B side of Who Likes a Nigger.' And for those who like something to dance to, there's 'Kajun Klu Klux Klan.' The copy at the head of the page tells you all you need to know: 'For those who take a conservative position on integration, the NAACP and the senseless war in Viet Nam.'
