You’re referring to the 60s US? The Civil Rights movement? The decade where George Wallace, when inaugurated as governor of Alabama, declared “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”? The decade Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated? The decade the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act and 24th Amendment were passed? When Southern Democrats flipped to Republican over civil rights?
I fear you might be viewing the past through rose tinted glasses.
- rnk 3y agoI think I didn't state my case very well. I was thinking that the news was censoring that, the newspaper and/or walter cronkite didn't repeat the specific racist comments, it wasn't out to the home consumer. Of course they were yelling vile things out loud, people were saying them. But it wasn't repeated in the media. Today it's repeated in social media incessantly, nazies saying things on twitter is another example.
