Ok, I was obviously being sarcastic with my post. But if you genuinely believe that women and black people in America had it better in the 1950s than they do now……wow. I’m not even trying to insult you or start a fight. I’m just trying to understand how a human brain that supposedly functions in society could genuinely make that argument.

Kids were being crippled by polio and we were closer to nuclear war than we are even now.

Black people most definitely have it way worse now that in the 50's. That's a fact. If you would time travel black people from the 1950's to today...and bring them to Chicago...they'd be aghast. The Boondocks episode with MLK coming out of a coma reflects this pretty well...and that was over a decade ago. shite's gotten way worse.
Women...women are more well off than they where in the 50's...maybe too well off.

Yes I’m sure it was fantastic being denied entry to restaurants, bars, movie theaters, bathrooms, etc. based on skin color.
Having job openings posted with “blacks need not apply” on the sign. Members who were very clearly KKK members being elected to Congress. Good times!
I mean, seriously?

Compared to being enslaved to welfare and being the Democrats vote piñata, while systematically keeping themselves down and blaming white people for it? The 50's are the salad days compared to current day. You wanna know why? Because those ACTUALLY oppressed individuals did something about it. Today's black person is a shell of what they where capable of in the 50's. Anyone with a brain not fed by CNN should be able to comprehend that.

I don’t expect at all to get social security when it’s time.

ease explain, in detail, what you believe was better about the 50’s than now
Country was running a budget surplus
American manufacturing out produced the world.
Exploding middle class with families able to support themselves with a single earner.
Stronger family units, especially in the black community.
Companies were actually loyal to their employees.
I’m all honesty, the US from 1950-65 was probably the most prosperous 15 years for any country in human history. Very difficult if not impossible to repeat or sustain that.

Well for example, there were only two genders.
Situations that the mere thought of would cause young people to go into a complete panic and absolute sense of discomposure, people in the 50s just rolled up their sleeves and dealt with.
If that's the best you've got, the negatives of the 50's would hit you like a ton of fricking bricks, sweetheart

For one you didn't have the ills of a connected world centered around cell phones (e.g. social media, mass surveillance, etc). I'd go back to the 50s in a heartbeat to get away from all the morons who have been turned into zombies by their phones.

You could get a high school diploma, go down to the Ford dealer and get a job in the service department and afford to buy a house and have kids while your wife stayed home and took care of them. Rock and roll, drive ins and sweet Tbirds corvettes and 55 bel airs everywhere. It was the golden age of this country. Obviously the social issues were a problem but its not exactly a panacea today on that front.

Klaus Schwab hadn't unleashed the 4th Reich yet, so those 50's people had that going for them.
Only because they’d just spent the 40s eradicating the 3rd reich in the bloodiest episode of human history where tens of millions died including many civilians on almost every continent.
“Hard times make hard men, easy times make weak men, etc”
We are blessed in a myriad of ways.
We have technology and information on our phones that exceed what the most learned scholars had in ancient times, but we use it for porn and reality shows.
Our biggest health issue stems from having too much food to eat.
Most of our perceived issues stem from a global class using politics to divide and distract us while they steal wealth and power from each of us and future generations.
We are in effect lost in a world where we don’t know how to find actualization or meaning and where many have forsaken any higher calling in a desperate hedonistic search for the next high which we think will be found by having “more”.

Not saying this has anything to do with politics,’etc..but every decade of my life has been better than the previous one. I’m 49. Other than a few health issues, life is great for me. That’s with all the increased prices, woke crap, and everything else. I feel for people who are suffering, but that isn’t me.
