I keep trying to sell my wife on this plan but it's an uphill climb. You don't ever see the people on TV churning butter or setting fence posts (unless one of those things is euphemism for some sex act).

AC or no AC, the wife and I would not be well received in the '50s.

Sure was horrible back then when they had more fathers at home, didn’t have their children being shot by gangbangers (Or pointless mayhem), stable work, strong churches and family units. Strong HBCUs. Lower abortion rates, Satchmo, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr, et al.
you can bet the same people who would downplay how women and black people were treated in the 50's are the same ones who complain about how hard it is to be a straight white male in 2020.

Talk to most older blacks, and they loved it back then. Klan was nothing compared to Jamaal down the street gonna kill you for nodding in his direction.
Problem is, Hollywood and younger blacks are revisionists and want everyone to believe blacks were leaving in constant fear back then. They weren’t.

For several years I drove a car with no AC. You get used to the heat and then you feel too cold when you go in the house or work where the AC is on.

I always look at heh 50s and 80s as being two decades that were generally positive period of Americana, where things were simpler, there was an optimism and patriotism that permeated society, and you could just live your life and enjoy it.
Depends on which side of the tracks you lived on back then. I don’t think many black people would want to go back to the “good ole days.”

For the 50s, it depends on who you are. Some people may not agree.
I would take the 80s because of the music and movies.

I’m sure they were very comfortable on the back of the bus.

Some of us lived through the 70s with no AC.
I didn’t own a car with AC until the 90s.

In 1955 my parents built a new home with central air and heat. It was around back then.

I remember when Hynes Elementary in Lakeview got AC. It was in the early '80s.

Negroes loved being separated from whites.

I don't know any older black person that would want to go back to pre-Civil Rights. Not one.
That doesn't mean they aren't critical of black youth today and black on black crime. It's entirely possible to not long for a period that they didn't have rights and wish things were different now.

Yes. The Civil Rights movement was actually just a large protest to keep things the way they were because blacks enjoyed it so much.

I’d go back just for this. Being naive has its blessings.

If not for Vietnam the best time period was probably the 60s. I’d take after the Civil Rights Act and no war over anything. Unfortunate Vietnam happened
