Infinitely better than what we have today. The Black community was more peaceful with many more intact marriages and by sexism I suppose you mean stay at home moms

“So you liked the racism and sexism of the ‘50s?”

I don’t know where (of IF) you lived during those years, but there was no such thing as either in the world I inhabited—about 25 miles farther out on Long Island than BOR. We didn’t even know the terms.

More to the point, however, is that those two particular objections to 50’s society should top your list. I wasn’t over-fond of A-bomb drills, commies throughout the U. S. government, my uncles being sent to Korea (so soon after they returned from Japan & Germany), the firing of MacArthur, party-lines, any year the Yanks lost the series, and cigarette smoke everywhere but church. But even with those and other imperfections, there’s no comparison between the cultures of the 50s and today’s. Racism, sexism? C’mon, were you actually a kid back then?
