It is probably not possible to go back to a colorblind America like the 90s but glad to see more and more people are trying to counter race based hatred of BLM and critical race theory. (archive.is)

Culture was different in the 90s. People paid less attention to race and more attention to character.

Nowadays between BLM riots and pushing CRT everywhere, more and more people are aware and focus on the racial differences.

Pushing BLM and CRT hard has led to many noticing the existence of racial differences in IQ and racial differences in propensity to commit crime that have existed for decades.

In the 90s, people were focusing more on the individual.

Colorblindess likely won't be coming back in the age where the battle is between race baiting vs racial realism.

I lived in the Deep South in the 90s. You know, where there are actual black people everywhere instead of token ones and segregated neighborhoods. This is a bold faced lie spoken of raw naivety.

I was getting two months a year (Feb for Blacks, November for Indians) of constant "special speakers" preaching raw white guilt in schools. And we weren't even 10 yet. Our news and local politicians ran on entirely race based platforms, and the "fake news" train was full steam even then.

There was never colorblindness in places it mattered. Only in places where you might see ONE black dude a day in a crowded city. You know, where it doesn't fucking make a difference.

My memory of the 90s was much different than what you experienced.

The overload of wokeness nowadays has maybe given me a rosier picture of the 90s it seems.

Thanks for sharing your experience, this is something I didn't really know at all.

It was simpler to not see it because the internet limited our vision, and the media hard controlled the narrative and you didn't have any reason to not trust them.

Things are worse now to an extent, but really its worse in that we are bombarded with how prevalent it is. So it seems like its complete hell, but its mostly they are just more open and honest about it.

I'm kinda stuck between both your stance and his, but I thought I'd chime in for this bit. I didn't gain access to the internet until the mid-2000s. I engaged media far more heavily than my peers during the 90s, but it was pretty much just vidya and cartoons. I avoided many types of media like the news because I learned real early how to spot emotional manipulation. So my experience seems to contradict your view, since I believe I got to have the colorblind thing.

Looking back, however, I understand that the reason no one around me had anything to say about other races was because my town was 99% white. There was no reason to bring them up outside the context of some hellhole city on the other side of the country. I interacted personally with one black kid during school, and he was a real jackass, but he was nothing like a city nigger. I got red-pilled on that stuff after I left home and worked side by side with real scum.

I consider that to be the truth behind the colorblind experience: you have no reason to think about race until you're given a reason. Get those socjus college kids to work a summer alongside some hood rats and they'll learn quick. I consider it common knowledge that anybody seriously advocating for open borders-tier nonsense has never had to experience another culture. I'm glad I got some bliss out of my ignorance, and I think it's fair to strive for providing that kind of shelter to the next generation.

They have stopped hiding their true intentions nowadays.

Things feel worse now since the wokeness is everywhere and it doesn't ever stop.

They were way more subtle back then.

Look me in the eye and tell me you actually believe this. Tell me it’s not just broken memories and false nostalgia for 30 years ago, and you don’t actually remember what was done back then.

nowadays

I guess you’re just ignoring that nonwhites have been artificially foisted on us since the 1960s, then. Hell, since the 1860s when they were illegally made citizens.

Pushing BLM and CRT hard has led to many noticing the existence of racial differences in IQ and racial differences in propensity to commit crime that have existed for decades.

No, it led you to notice it. Since the dawn of the egalitarian propaganda in the 1910s, fewer and fewer people have noticed racial differences. It’s a downward slope. Noticing the difference in species is innate and subconscious to all people. It’s part of the survival mechanism of all different species. It can only be dulled through a lifetime of propaganda. You were brainwashed in your youth to not notice them, so you think no one noticed them. You’re trying to claim that the decade which had the fucking LA race riots was “colorblind.” Moreover, you’re still using the buzzwords that egalitarian propagandists forced upon you… as though they even EXIST as a state of being! There is no such thing as “being colorblind” in the first place. You’re describing doublethink—the conscious act of forcing your own mind to stop thinking correctly.

.Colorblindess likely won't be coming back

It literally never existed.

in the age where the battle is between race baiting vs racial realism.

You mean “since the dawn of time”? Different species in the same niche compete for the same resources. It doesn’t end until there’s only one left.

Yes I do remember the Riots of 1992.

That doesn't negate the general cultural atmosphere of the 90s compared to now.

Racial relations are clearly worse now they were in the 90s. The 90s obviously were nowhere close to perfect. I am nostalgic for the 90s because things were atleast much better than now.

I agree that human behavior has generally been the same throughout the ages sure but that doesn't mean that nothing has changed in 30 years.

You seem to misinterpret all of my 90s nostalgia.

Racial relations will likely worsen and worsen in the years to come.

Can’t worsen. They were never good. Multiculturalism does not work. Period. End of story. Things aren’t any worse today than they have ever been… since egalitarian emancipation. You want to fix things? Demand physical separation. Nothing else works.
