People romanticising the ’50s, the good-old days of racism, arrant homophobia, misogyny, limited choices (just honing in on this Anglo-Saxon/white American blueprint that people are almost always referring to in a broader context). “People treated others better then.’ Is that why many people of colour couldn’t go out alone in broad daylight for fear of being lynched?

I have a lot of time for the ’70s (as much as I can without direct-experiential perspective) from a more British standpoint at-least but not the mid.-20th century, I’m afraid. Just no.
