When I was growing up in the 1970s and 1980s no one saw color.

Some of you don't know this...

But "All in the Family" was the biggest show of the 1970s (or at least Top 5) and if you think that show didn't deal with race...

My personal favorite is the 90s not being all about race, but on the other side of the coin:

• Being in a black history play that involved two white kids playing Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr
• Witnessing the black kids that got honor roll getting snubbed for the white and Asian kids (the black kids were fukking heated and more so when they did the whole thing over the next day in class, on some "here nikka damn" steez)
• Dealing with school death threat because the child wanted all the "minorities to die"
• Being outed as "one of the good ones" with a surprised party because I was "too nice"

But hey things were better back in the days because it was a fluffy white lie, instead of a ugly black truth

Funny how life works when you can't change the channel.

[The Guru]

People were never confronted with their racism, so they equated it to racism not being as big a deal. And that's how (varying degrees of) racists like it.

Dumb c*nt.

It was schools that were integrated in the 70s.

Gen X had a lot of hope that things would change once their peers got in power, but a lot of them kept up the racist traditions of their boomer parents.

Gen X are actually the children of the silent generation.

It’s the millenials who are the children of boomers
