I was born in 1953, moved to SoCal in 1963, and lived there for 30 years, so I was a teen in the "hippie era" and its associated liberalism. However, when I was a (Euro) white girl in a mostly working class high school from 1967-71, it was still understood -- at least in my school and community -- that it was "okay" for whites to date anyone they wanted except for blacks. It didn't matter if we were talking about Japanese, Middle Eastern, Mexican, or any other ancestry, but whites dating blacks was still frowned upon BIG time by everyone I knew personally who expressed an opinion about this.
Reading this as a Black man born in the mid-1980s, this is one of the reasons I would never want to go back in time to the 1960s. This really angered me. I take it personally because of who I am. My first thought was "Wow. Black people are looked down on far more than anyone else".
When one says they'd like to return to the past whether is be the 60's, earlier or later than that it doesn't mean they want to return to any racism back then. But those with a chip on their shoulder will always take it that way. They can't think beyond racism.
The American experience has become a horror story that’s about to get truly scary. The most blatantly sexually corrupt – and publicly reviled – woman in American political history remains just one heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States as the Obama team waits for the exact right moment to pull the plug on putative “President” Biden.
For some people, the American experience was always bad.

I know. They are accused of not having the intelligence to get a voter ID or vote on time. Too dumb to compete so they Affirmative Action is needed. Plus when the birth parents never get together, the men are falsely accused of beating the birth mother as to the reason why.

This is history that needs to be discussed today now that being a discriminated minoirty is a protected status with benefits. Why, In the post-civil rights era, are there are so many minority groups? We have seen an explosion of new ethnic concepts that didn't exist historically. Where did modern identity politics come from?
How did we go from a black/white dichotomy to the notion of "people of color"?
Why are people of Spanish origin minorities today? Why do we even call people "hispanic" or "Latino"? A person with a Spanish surname is considered a minority today and gets called a "person of color" even if they're totally white. How did that happen?
If Chinese people were white in Alabama, why are they known as the "model minority" today?
These are questions that are politically relevant in all discussion of identity politics. It needs to be understood that we have minority groups today that were politically fabricated. They have also come up with victim narratives that no one alive back then seems to remember.
Simple, the Democratic Party needed voters, so they decided to rewrite history, by shouting the racist word long and hard at Republicans, and to divide people against each other. Simultaneously, the Democratic Party was setting themselves up as the saviors for POC. As if the dems were the only people who can keep the racist republican barbarians at the gates.
When black actress Lena Horne was starting her career in Hollywood in the 40s, the studios tried to get her to pass for white by saying that she was Latin.
Black people could pass for white by pretending to be Spanish, Cuban, or Latin.
Think of how ironic it is that today "Spanish" people are considered minorities on the same level as blacks.
I think about this. Blacks were basically banned from Major League Baseball until 1947. However, Mexicans, Native Americans, and Hawaiians were allowed in Major League Baseball. There was a reason the Negro Leagues existed. Cubans were allowed in Major League Baseball, as long as they were not considered Black. Black Cubans weren't allowed in Major League Baseball.
In the 19th century, Irish and Germans were also not given the same privileges as Anglo-Saxons. During WWI, a German-Americans were even subject to physical violence, including lynching.
No they weren't at first. However, they would soon be considered White and allowed things that were denied to Blacks.
Booker T. Washington wrote on the (of course not explicitly mentioned, highly probable nordic-) nationalist movements in the states of euro immigrants.
Alexis Hrdrickla was an eastern euro physical anthropologist 1st or 2nd euro hyphenated amerigo-man.
Even before the rise of nazism in europa (which stretched from the borders of the Stalinist Soviet state to the island of the englishman), Hrdrickla had an major influence on that region.
This time was one of what the globalists call "modernization", when the euro companymen, pirates & privateers were on the verge of becoming the trans-national neo-nazi cartels & multi-national fascists/corporatists of today & the descendants of the former & their coloured concubines & slaver sidekicks from the man-children became virtually obsolete (of course this did not in any way shape or form, deter the latter from aping & imitating the former, as one can clearly see today, again the latter despise being coloured & will side with the nazis & worship nordicism).
