Talkin' to Bullfrogs- Craig Smith

Wyatt, Billy and George, although they are white, are subjected to similar prejudices and persecution as an African American would at the same time period in the South. First, Wyatt and Billy are jailed because they were "parading without a permit". In actuality, they were put in jail because they had long hair, rode motorcycles and represented freedom, which the Man did not like. This is similar to how an African American would be treated; put in jail for a made up reason, just because of who they were. As a result they were put in jail, were they meet an ACLU lawyer named George. George saves Wyatt and Billy from being shaved by rusty razors, which was apparently common practice to do to "longhairs" in that police outfit. George comments to them that he can get them out of jail "as long as they didn't kill anybody...at least nobody white". Upon their release, George hints at wanting to join the two on their journey, which he does, and along the way they introduce George to marijuana.

A major episode where the three of them encounter an experience parallel to that of a Black person's is in the diner in Louisiana. The three of them walk in and the conversation amongst the patrons comes to a halt. They sit down, and immediately the conversations throughout the room change subjects to them and how they are "girls", "yankee queers", etc. The sheriff and an inbred local conversed about what they should do with them. They were not offered service of any kind. They guys soon realized that it was in their best interest to get out of there. Later, at their campsite, some of the guys from the diner ambushed their campsite, killing George and beating Wyatt and Billy. They had done nothing wrong, except not fit in to the ideals of the conservative south. They were treated on par with how African American's were treated at the time. Judging from the outcome of the diner experience, it wouldn't have made any difference if George were black. The only possible difference would be that the guys would have been beaten up right away instead of later at their campsite. George said it best at the campsite before they fell asleep: "You know, this used to be a hell of a good country, I can't understand what's goin' on."
