JaCrispy Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I see people saying Make America Great Again…But I don’t ever see what they mean when they say it… Now, obviously there are plenty of things that are great now, i don’t even need to say…But not everything is better off… And if you believe that there was a time in our past, when we were better off at something than we are now, when and what was it? So, I’ll start with something simple… In 1960, 75% of black children lived in a two parent households…Today, that number is down to 43% by some reports… Kids living in a single parent household are at greater risk to drop out of school, as well as getting into criminality and going to jail… Make America Great Again 👍 Edited October 6, 2023 by JaCrispy 1 2
Joe Ferguson forever Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Pretty much any time except the trump years, the slavery years (granted it was the ridiculous norm), The civil war (one side was great thankfully we won), the reneging on the Indian treaties and I'm sure I can come up with a few more exceptions. If I had to pick one time it would be WW2. The greatest generation. Amazing people that are almost all gone. Edited October 6, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever 1
Unforgiven Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) America will never be great again, it's a giant shithole - nasty people, rich people in the business of crushing the middle class, the divisions created by the communists, and now the country has been over run by invaders. The tremendous debt will never be paid, some sort of bankruptcy will occur wrecking the value of the dollar. It's all over for America. Edited October 6, 2023 by Unforgiven 1 1

I’m sure that number was in there somewhere 1

I don’t know man…I feel like identity politics has taken us backwards with regards to race relations… I feel like our country is more racist now than in the ‘90s… You can’t teach society that 1 group of people is inherently evil simply because of skin color, and then not expect negative consequences as a result…That same rationale was used to justify slavery… 3

I'm not gonna presume to speak for your experiences, but while 1960 may have had stronger family structures, it also had official segregation (really American apartheid) in a huge swath of the country, and lots of other things that don't exactly look like they were "great" in retrospect. That's what happens with nostalgia. When you really examine what life was like, must people have no interest in going back to some bygone age. 1 1
