Nothing's changed, except the job went away and families split apart. 1970 started the death spiral of the rust belt.

Not sure about Detroit and Gary, but that is just straight up false for Chicago. You should probably do a little more research into what life was like for a black person in Chicago in the 1960's before making that statement.

I do not judge the reformers who pushed all this through. They may not have understood what they were doing. And they are also dead. So what's the point.

I do judge you though.

You live in this world. You can see the consequences of this tragedy, you live in them.

Early 60s would have been a great time to be in high school/college. Unfortunately, the Vietnam War cast a dark shadow for many of those lads.

So, you think the 60’s were worse for blacks than the previous decades? Any progress that happened probably began in the 60’s.

Getting drafted and forced to go fight on foreign soil is an abomination. I vaguely remember some kids in my neighborhood who were drafted in the early 70s.

So you like putting words in people's mouths?

I'm talking about current day blacks, tard.

60s were the beginning of the women's lib movement. Women had unprecedented freedom toward the end of the decade.

Now the fifties were rough for women

Just responding to the ‘Yeah, Just don’t be black’ comment. Don’t see where that would be putting words in your mouth. Just saying that you can’t blame that in the 69’s. That was a continuation of many decades. Cool ‘tard’ comment though. My nephew says hey.

yes, the eighteen fifties were rough

The nineteen fifties saw more and more women given leisure time with clothes washers, dish washers, and instant foods, giving them the opportunity to enter the workforce

That was. I didn't remotely imply that it was worse than before.

I never said it was unique to the 60s. That's you putting words in my mouth.

Still not the freedom they have today.

Still would be a heavy stigma if a woman was pregnant and not married.

Still would be treated like little more than handmaidens if you were a nurse during that time.



I'm not a crazy feminist but I would not want to be a woman in the 60s. So what if it's better than the 50s....still not that great.
