Which "best days of the past" ? Let's limit it to just the past 50 years to be fair. The ones where people of color couldn't drink at white water fountains? Jim Crow laws only ended in 1968 and you can be sure their mindset persisted for years after that well into the 70s where it may not have been illegal but it could end your life. Or maybe it was the vietnam war years? Maybe it was the decades when two people of different color couldn't marry or two people of the same gender? How about the living hell decade Bush put us through over invading Iraq for literally made up reasons and caused ISIL? If you think the past was great, you probably were privileged one way or another and fortunate not to be a minority. America can only get BETTER, it certainly isn't hard to do better than the past with all of our poor choices.
