I'm too young to have meaningful anecdotes about the past yet, but I can try to predict what those anecdotes will be. At some point in the future, I might be one of the oldest people who remembers the Challenger disaster.
Pieces like this are why the NYTimes has to give away subscriptions so get their readership number up. At least once a week I get an ad or email extolling me to subscribe for only $1 a week. that's overpriced for the stuff they are pushing.
My first child was born on December 7, 1966, the twenty fifth anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I had not been born in 1941, and had no basis for realizing the magnitude of it. Now, having lived through 9/11 and other gut punches in history, I realize how 25 years is just the blink of an eye in time.
The quoted NYTimes article in the OP's post is just political opinion crap, what an extremely hate filled and ugly racist piece, ironically written in the guise of fighting racism.
Glad that no wasting time reading it. It doesn't belong here.
You are correct, that is took half a page of replies for others to see that is disturbing. Welcome to the New Normal.
OP may want to mention that this (original quote) is questionable "history." The person who wrote the original quote is a far-Left activist, and assuming that is some sort of objective truth is not dissimilar to assuming that the Proud Boys are somehow representative of the Right, either.
We're not in a Cold War-Jim Crow "hybrid," mmmkay Caroline? Last observation: Note that the quote itself is from far-Left 1) New York Times 2) article title is "Trump...Racism" blah blah blah. Oh please, that's been debunked about 1,002 times. But that conversation goes about as far as talking to that wall over there, I've noticed.

I have an Aunt who saw the Japanese planes fly over the Koolau mountain range on the way to Pearl Harbor.
