That's fricked up.

It's a true example of how screwed up society was in some ways. I don't think younger people can really grasp legitimate racism as it existed 70 years ago.

To put things into perspective, we now have people screaming "racism" over white men moving their laptop bag. That seems even more insane after reading the OP.

What I would like to know is what evidence they had that his confession was coerced. His age alone doesn't do it for me.

Fair point, but just because places are integrated now, and society as wholly progressed and racism is less tangible, it doesn't make diminish other people's perceived grievances.
