My point is that it’s easy to glorify the past when in reality while there are things that were better back then there was so much more that was far worse. Also we both going to NAM boy! I ain’t dying in a fuckin jungle.

It’s more politically charged racism cause everyone on both side has freedom and rights to bear arms. good luck trying to tell a minority sorry it’s only whites. Frankly life is 100x more stressful and high pressure compared to back then. Yes people worked in factories or mining jobs while affording living wage… i mean look at our modern day homelessness statistics. America is an apocalyptic expensive fuckin 3RD world joke.

A lot of that came from us just getting off of world war 2, we had an economic boom because we were selling weapons and the building of said weapons took over most major industries. It was honestly incredibly impressive but not repeatable because for better or worse we don’t want a war on that scale again. Also why are you focusing on racism? I just said that was more of an obvious but my main point was half the shit was toxic back then, life expectancy was significantly lower.

Because I’m not white. Because my skin is darker than yours. You’ll never understand my life. America is built on a racist ideologies. You know what is as bad as that toxic ? Living in a racist country. You haven’t worn my skin to understand me. It’s okay. You and I live in a different reality.

You’re right, I will never understand what it’s like to live in your shoes. However I DO understand the various effects caused by the high levels of lead that was in the drinking water back then.

Racism and Toxicity both kills lives. We also don’t understand modern day danger of monopolistic and carcinogenic food coloring.

I am, but what you’re saying is not following the conversation in the slightest.

**monopolistic was a typo** it was suppose to say microplastics. Either way, you continue to talk about environmental factor…. Lead being in their living space. So I gave a counterargument… we’re dealing with cancer causing carcinogens. I know you make sandwiches… the chemical used to retain the longevity of the wheat bread is cancer causing. I’d rather live back then regardless of their hatred for my skin. You should play BioShock Infinite. I enjoyed it myself. Truly modern america.

Honestly the only thing I’m getting here is that it sucks to live no matter what time it is…. Only difference is now I have far more access to things that I feel make my life better.
