I just had the idea that at some time between the End of Reconstruction and the OTL Civil Rights Movement, there could be unique scenario with a unique guy comparable in his uniqueness to Genghis Khan, Hitler or Napoleon. Near ASB, but it's so funny and ASB that it could already be plausible again...

I thought of having a black man from the Northern US elected president with segregation still in place in the Southern US.

And furthermore, this black president goes to a whites-only restaurant in the South and reporters witness how the staff refuses to serve the president, just for being black.

What would have to happen to make this WEIRD and rather surreal scenario a reality?
