I find the gesture to more likely be completely ignored in my recent experience when I hold a door for someone else. That’s cool, though. I’m not holding the door FOR a “thank you”.

where do yall live where this is the case?

Being oppressive, racist, and sexist since the dawn of America yet morals are lower now?

People were beating blacks in the 50s bc they were black.

Women couldn’t have bank account until 1975.

But morals were so high back then.

Pretty much, I just don't see how the OP equates that stuff to morality.

Seems the author and the "peer reviewed study" seem to be confusing morals, customs and values.

The inverse is also true: things that were previously considered highly moral, like spraying little black children with fire hoses, is now significantly frowned upon. I don't know how you're inclined to view the grand scale of morality, but I'm happy to trade "we no longer lock people in cages for being gay" for "we no longer brutally murder people because of the color of their skin."


You got so many downvotes for this. When this was a fact of life in America back then lol. It’s crazy how blind people can be

Agreed, yet Democrats have managed to top themselves again now with promoting pedophelia, child mutilation, and canceling anyone they don't agree with.

One of the biggest gripes I see on this website is the grooming of children correct? Let’s take a look down memory lane on how children and consent used to be

quote:

While the unrestricted age of consent is between 16 and 18 in all U.S. states, the laws have widely varied across the country in the past. In 1880, the ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7.

yet theft of less than $1,000 is going unpunished, drugs abuse is at raging high levels and progressives think black people are incapable of making good choices, and require regulatio


What does this have anything to do with what our society did to blacks in our society?

The only difference is.. it was a whole nation being racist vs a few rich people doing awful things. Both awful. One way more prevalent.

You literally said blacks are doing it to others. What does that have to do with what we as a society did? What at all. I’m saying you seem like your justifying it so explain further bc we both know who the uneducated one is here

It really is amazing how fast the usual suspects jump to this conclusion.

Nobody is justifying beating anyone. You're just an idiot projecting your own insecurities on everyone else because you can't argue any valid points other than crying some "ism".

I think it's the over exposure and constant attention to all the trials and tribulations of every miserable loser's life all the time through social media.
