Well, I rolled up this character for Call of Cthulhu who is
fairly strong and very intelligent, but disgracefully ill-educated.
I announced he was to be a black Private Detective,
but the Keeper (GM) and other players expressed doubts as to
whether a black would be permitted to carry a gun in that era,
whether the professors should associate with me.

What was the status of blacks in E.Coast USA in the 1920s?
Should this be posted somewhere else? (net.rights.blacks.1920s)

I'm just starting C of Cth -
intriguing, aint it?
