The person being interviewed looks as if he is being very sincere and thoughtful. I'm hearing him say discrimination was openly advertised, widely accepted, and even expected, but that began to change in the early 40s, which coincides with the USA's involvement in WWII and the fight against Hitler and his racial ideology. Perhaps Americans began getting more sensitive? It sounds as if expectations for change outpaced actual change and that led to great frustrations, which is understandable. I can understand some folks' attitudes that America is the same or worse. If you didn't live or experience the past directly, or indirectly by reading or watching films or speaking to folks who were alive in the past, it's hard to appreciate the change that's occurred. Sadly, what change that has been achieved seems to be in part a driving force by some to try to get things back to where they were before 1940. It seems with each push forward there's a push backwards. Take 2 steps forward but get pushed back 1, but today it seems the pushback is to try to go back 10 steps or more. Sad.

On my channel I had a conversation with a black friend- it's called "Is white privilege real" and it was motivated by a facebook post that I shared. It said, "White privilege doesn't mean that your life wasn't hard, it means that the color of your skin wasn't one of the things that made your life hard." Or something like that. I've had people miss the point so much, claiming silly things like to say that it's real is to be racist against white people. I'm so passionate to watch your videos, to have these conversations, to learn beyond my limited perspective. We need to be willing to listen outside of our little bubble. I had no idea what POC have gone through, of the fear and the microagressions. I'm so thankful to have a platform and friends that I can ask uncomfortable questions and learn uncomfortable truths, so that I can grow as a person and other people can grow with me. I believe that's how we can change the world and make it suck a little less.

I've done careful, intense, and very cautious pondering on this issue for many, many years. I don't buy into the microaggression theory. I think class socialists have been feeding us a lot of Trojan horses many years. If you broaden the scope past that- and include Luciferians- it's been centuries. These people think in terms of CENTURIES. It's more than Mao's Destroy The Four Olds, more than all the subversion tactics that a certain KGB defector spoke of. It's social inversion through duality ideology, pitting every person against each other, male, female, every tone of skin, ethnicity, and more. I must very politely and categorically tell you to take your white guilt and shove it. It is myopic and has actually served more to divide and conquer, than to unite. You are well-meaning, but you are clueless if you buy into this diversity, postmodernism nonsense. Consider things carefully, or be away from me.

the power of tv is far-reaching, but were there any afro-americans/minorities on television in its first decade?

I grew up in a small town just outside Houston & our public school system didn't integrate until I was in the fourth or fifth grade, so mid 60's. Of course blacks were relegated to "the other side of the tracks" but I just don't remember much open hostility to integration & perhaps that's because the number of black students was very small. Although I had racist grand parents somehow my parents were not racists, my siblings & I were taught that everyone is equal. I guess many in the "woke" crowd would dispute that claim now days. I've spent a good deal of time the last year listening to black intellectuals who find the anti racial movement problematic, my favorite being linguist John McWhorter. Have I noticed a change for the better in racial attitudes in my 64 years & do we still have a ways to go? I would answer yes to both questions.

My school didn’t integrate until 1969 and until 1970 it was still illegal for blacks and whites to marry here. Racism is still rampant in this state, many of my family members are racist. Just about three years ago I sat down next to a young black woman at a restaurant. I hadn’t even sat down good when I received a text from my cousin who was there. It simply read KKK.

I still believe the sexual revolution ruined the civil rights movement. In the late sixties/early seventies, a lot of other groups tried to adopt the language of the civil rights movement, even though their causes weren’t very similar at all. Martin Luther King’s philosophy was very much rooted in religion and morality, but the sexual revolution brought in a kind of secularism that went on to seize control of the culture.

You might think you're a clever Atheist and rebuttal, "but there are immoral religious society", but that doesn't change the fact that there has never been a moral Atheist civilization. All great civilizations have been religious. You should probably wonder why that is. Morality without religion leads to the last 20 years of debauchery we've been seeing in America. Civilizations weaken in tandem with how far they move away from their founding mythos/origins. The sexual revolution made America more secular. That is a fact. And our Republic has weakened the further we've strayed from morality, aka, from God. That is also a fact. It's no wonder that so many say America is going the way of Rome. Mark my words, America is going to see a religious revival in the coming years. Not 50 years, or even 10. I'm talking next 3-5 years. The writing is on the wall already.
