I am interested to know what life was like from the words of people who were still children then or they were from 16-30 years old.

I was a teen in the early 90s. We had the best music. Lot’s of diversity among my friends but that was just normal so I didn’t really notice until the US got super racist and bigoted. Then I was like, “wow! were we all woke the whole time?” It was a better time. Also the local shrubbery was amazing, not like this new gas station garbage we have today. Most of us felt like we had a future. I feel so sorry for kids today, like, we failed you kiddos.
they failed you. Dw OP I trust you’re not to blame
This is very interesting and I like to hear it. I didn’t know the USA got more bigoted
Might be they just didn’t see it because they were a kid.
I grew up with casual racism from my dad and grandfather.
My family was always multi racial but you would also hear hard Rs at family get togethers.
Depends on the part of the country too I’m sure.
Well, idk if I would say “more”. The median has gotten less bigoted (people care a little more when you say certain slurs), but I also think that the more conservative people have gotten significantly more bigoted.
It was always bigoted. they were lynching black men until 1981.
Yeah most people tend to srgue thst the usa has been in a continous racism decay, being max racist upon its conception as a country (1600s). I’m still interested in OP’s opinion from their frame of reference - sort of suggests the truth is more nuanced and might be tied to prosperity of the country
The death of the music industry was, in some ways, a lot like the death of reverse-fox-news.
Now it’s just fox news.
