Nick Young is trashhhhhh
ANorthman
Talk about romanticizing an era...
MonsieuRoberts
The early 1900s would have been swall if you played jazz at the local music dive...but that's about it. Sucks, man.
31indy
Good on her for not seeing race.
Verskaizi
I hear that the public showers in the 50's were intense.
Gian4MVP
I hate when people ignorantly romanticize past eras like this. "Guys were such gentleman back in th 50's. OMG FML!" - from their iPhone

You can go to the beach any Time you want you know..
yoggsaron1
I mean.. it's better than the 1850's i guess..

Why, you'd be really old now. Even older than me.

OMG this made it to FP! I'm friends with a famous guy!
yepnope
Good on her.
fatmanandthrobbin
Wait... wut?
Kisamex96
My grandma and her friend used to babysit a black kid in the 50s I think, maybe 60s, but anyway they would take him for a walk in his 1/2
stroller, and people would pull up and call them ni**ger lovers..... or just say hateful things about the little guy 2/2
ExcuseMe2
No, no you don't.
Jessiefaust20
Right you are svenopo.
StraightOuttaUsersub
id love to live down at Texas before that drug shit storm happened
Squeezit
Is there an uncommon black girl? What about rare? Shiny?
Converto
I appreciate the aesthetic of the 20s, however I sure as hell don't want to live in the 20s.
WBRay
Probably Clayton Bigsby's sister

I think it's sweet that she doesn't even consider racism

jweenypwee
I'm white. I've dated 2 black girls. Both had very, very awkward and very intense "slavery/white-dominance" fetishes.
GuardLLama
Oh mine does too. Just not as sexual. I have to do the chores for all of February.
And I'm a white dude so yeah now that I read your comment, probably not the same thing lol
To clarify, I didn't indulge them. But one forced me to say ANYTHING...so after LOTS of begging, I finally said "uh...you'd be in my house."
tunaexecutiononatoastedbun
Should have tied her to the "whippin' post" and drilled her Mississippi mud
Savage.
rstarsmore
Well, yeah, I suppose you could call her that too, but that seems kinda rude on top of it all.
Even savager.
adavaas
I think it's a good thing, in a twisted way. Things have improved so much, she completely failed to envision the awful contexts of that era!
babboonkrew
well its more important to note that black people are discarding their racism
HighFive1
Well you definitely put the rose colored glasses on for this one.
almostsomething182
"When you're looking at things through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags."
What can I say, I had a good day.

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it...
UnknownSquid
Those who can't escape it, are also doomed to repeat it. (Although yes, understanding history is far more valuable than many credit it for.)
How do you escape something that you don't know exists? The google maps for gtfo of historical traps is education.
1) I mean people who are so obsessed with past troubles, that they dig up old grievances and actually perpetuate a problem, or cant move on.
2) Was just speaking generally really. But a society that's constantly on edge about racism, is one that will keep it alive forever.
The solution to that is not to forget the past happened. The solution to that is to not be a cunt about it.
OctoPlusNone
...how does that apply to a black girl who doesn't know about the history of racism? Is she going to accidentally segregate herself?
Not directly, but she might vote for someone who would.
SuperEasyBarelyAnInconvenience
someone needs a quick history lesson!
LamarTheHeadhumper
Not too quick, she is a women after all.
Justindr0107
Black dude in the background embracing a white guy.. maybe this wasn't a bad place to be back then
Drase333
Probably needs an extended history lesson too.

"race mixing is communism" well then...
tamalero
ironically, these group used the "gays unions are communists". I remember seeing it
Pretty sure one of the signs says March of the Antichrist. That's what being on the wrong side of history looks like.
snakeoilsalesman
Probably wouldn't be allowed on that beach.
Pegussu
I mean, someone would have to clean it.

percivaldanvers
You can admire the good of those times without admiring the bad. Just because life wasn't perfect doesn't mean some things weren't good.
peridotite
My grandma was a tween in the 20's and sometimes wish i could've lived in that era too, but then i remember I would've been a migrant field1
Worker just like her and picked vegetables and cotton all day. :(
empire666
The 20's do look cool man. Flying cars and shit...oh wait, which 20's?
aelita
I am white, and I would still not want to live in the 20's... Oh, I live in ex-USSR.
deepblueknight
Yeah, ive got pre-history and after the sixties.
phillippecousteau
You could become a jazz musician and move to France!
rafikisbutt
sometimes i think that too... but then i remember i'm white and i'd be safe.
jamiewritesfic
1920s w/out racism would be nice, though.
Rheios
Why I like Fallout. The 50's without racism. Still xenophobic, nationalistic, isolationism but otherwise it seemed cool.
I laughed more than I should at this.
Cheomesh
I'm white, and have the same problem.I can't say X era seems neat without someone saying "Cuz ur a white boy".My g-gpa, however...
ComeJoinTheMurder
No. If they go there first then own the shit out of it. Louis C.K. will be your guide.
drunkentigah
Sometimes I imagine myself in the late 1800's like a cowboy.. then I realized i'd be building a railroad in a straw hat...
CthulhuSaidGoFuckYourself
I mean i am white and male but i live in europe and Swizerland was pretty shitty and poor before the War all around us.
EdwardIII
That's why we can never fuck with time machines in any direction other than forward. And not too far forward. Really, fuck time travel.
MalcolmButler
Instructions unclear; dick chopped off by guillotine.
To be fair it looks like you landed in France and things could be improving soon!

Also, I like living in a world with penicillin

a buddy of mine at work asked if I could go back in time and live in any day in age when would it be? I said now...
The only thing that makes white people pastier... black and white photography
MotherfuckinGoats
We need to bring back the aesthetics of the 20's without the racism within the next 5 years.
WhiteyHead
So restart the trend now!
ProbablySpecial
wow, the 1930's would be so cool to live in if it weren't for the polio thing

As someone who is not fluent in english, shouldn't it be "every once in a while"?
*sigh* yea.
bitchinmona
We could bring back the styles and clubs etc. without all that pesky bigotry and general backwardness. 2020s could be a 1920s revival!
vxjedi
Same, then I'm like "oh wait I'm Chinese, I'd be building railroads."
MaximumZero
Oh, wait, I'm part Native. They were still doing horrible things to us at that point, and would do so to me, even though I'm mostly white.
If it helps I'm Irish decent. I'd either be building a railroad with you or fighting with black people over a job.
CokieMonster69
I would never want to travel back in time any further than when women started shaving everything
So like... 1985?
That's too far back
justahumanonline
I'm asian...wouldn't go over too well either.
Psychethos
Yeah I think the same until I remember that I'm a woman, and like being able to vote and have a career and shit.
Well, if you're an American, you would have had the right to vote in the 1920s. The 19th Amendment was ratified August 18, 1920.
It was a bit later here in the UK.
Besides, what with the whole "flapper" thing, I think the 20s would have been a great time to be an independent woman.
Textuality
If you were white, sure...
I mean... not as great of a time as now. Flappers are how we see women in the 1920's now, but most didn't have those kinds of liberties.
rollercostarican
as a male, if i were to transform into a woman, present would trump any point in history.
Well, sure. I'm just saying you could do worse than the 1920s.
straightontilmorning
AND you couldn't drink away your pain....
DeathByTeacup
This! I'm so not cut out for being a proper lady-like wife/mother. Nobody would want to marry me, I'd be a grumpy spinster.

I just want 1920s style and culture but now.

SlightlyRacistBanana69
Alcohol was illegal in the '20s. Sure you could still drink but I like being able to legally drink, piss my pants and pass out in the (1/2)
LuckyICantSeeFarWithThisLeg
You want 1920's popular culture.
(2/2) safety of my own home!
dhaskjdhawyajhdbsdbgwakjhbdnmcckclkklkl

But the clothes and hair were so cool!!!!!
Do you want copious use of the n word in normal conversation? Because that's how you get copious use of the n word in normal conversation.
