The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963

When Momma tells Dad that the people in Birmingham are friendlier than they are in Flint, Dad laughs and says, “Oh yeah, they’re a laugh a minute down there. Let’s see, where was that ‘Coloreds Only’ bathroom downtown?” MY QUESTION IS IN DETAILS

∗What does Dad mean by this? What is the point he is trying to make?∗
