Maybe where you or some people lived but there was no murder or crack in any of the white neighborhoods I lived in back then. There was still a lot more economic opportunity then and stronger sense of culture.
There was crack in white neighborhoods. Not as many as in black neighborhoods, but it was there. And there are still a lot more jobs now than there were then, and salaries have never been higher. The information age has given people way more opportunities that simply didn't exist back then. I could care less about culture, but I do care about money. And there is way more money to be made now than there was back then.

I don't where in the world you get the idea there are more jobs and higher pay today. Every source I've seen says wages have stagnated and fallen the last 30-40 years, unemployment is high and there were way more job even 20 or 30 years ago.
Lots of white male hate in this thread. Doesn't bother me much though, I love the standard of living we take for granted every day. I refuse to feel guilty for anything.

Unemployment is high, but that doesn't mean there are no jobs. people just aren't qualified for the jobs that are out there right now. That's a big difference.
40 years ago this was a better country. The hippies and druggies of the 70s were confined to cities and colleges so most people did not see their antics. Regular mainstreet America still reigned, people went to church, they worked, got married and lived normal American lives.
While birth control is a good thing, out of wedlock pregnancy should be shameful and the draft is necessary in a time of war. Mothers not working?? yea that is a good thing, keeping the same job for 40 years yea that's good too.
I was a child in the 70s and I remember how much simpler life was, I remember that doors were left unlocked and strangers were not something we feared as much. It seems like our twisted morally deprived world we live in today began to take shape in the 90s, and it progressed from there. PC culture, special snowflakes and safe zones, just look at what our nation has become. Yes this nation was still America 40 years ago, today we are a shadow of what America was. It is only a matter of time before we are done for.
I totally agree and we weren't living in fear of radical Muslims and jobs were open to Americans not illegal aliens.
