Ahh.....the days of polio, small pox, air raid drills, segregation....those were the days.
There always one in every crowd...yes, despite those things, those WERE the days.
You mean the days of solving the problems of polio and small pox, those days of drills that made us believe we would be kept safe in an emergency, and the days of the barriers of segregation being broken? The days when we believed in our futures and the future of the US? The days when the over-riding themes of TV shows were about decency and entertainment? The days when we'd come home from school and play with toy guns and ride bikes without helmets and climb trees and not have to have play dates and lessons take away all free creative time?

Are you suggesting we now live in a world without disease, terrorist violence and racism Mr Progressive Troll?

We have better medicine and better entertainment, so yay for that.
They had an overall better quality of life, a more stable and intact family unit, and for more freedom and personal liberty. Kids could roam the streets, Crime of all types was far lower. Our society was intact and the man on the street tended to have a commonality with a stranger due to the shared beliefs that united us.
And with all the evils of segregation, the black family unit was more intact, male black lifespan was longer, a black person was less likely to be assaulted and murdered, and the black literacy rate was far higher than it is today.
You post says "I hate old white people".
