One of the weirdest trends on modernity is this constant rose tinted glasses cycle. For example: one of the biggest tropes repeated ad hominem is “racism didn’t exist in the 90s”.
Bullshit, the 90s simply didn’t have access to the internet and was overwhelmingly dictated by the TV. The TV showed happy diversity so that’s what’s inscribed in everyone’s brains.
Let’s do a checklist of racial diversity in the 90s
-
WTC bombing
-
Rodney King riots
-
Crown heights riots
-
Million man march/ Nation of Islam
-
Largest spike of “gang violence” which was dominated by blacks and Hispanics
-
H1Bs
-
Immigration largest driver of population growth
This was a time of delusion for boomers to pretend that magic soil was real while our jobs were being primed to be shipped overseas and the rest flooded with migrants. People simply refuse to admit nothing was different because the white population at the time still was enough of a majority for “White liberalism” to control the narrative. People blame Obama but he was just the end result of race blindness gone wrong, not the progenitor.
Yeah, race blindness is why people don't remember racism existing in the 90s. White society was effectively walled off from most black people and brownies except for high-achieving individuals that could fit in with the culture. Said blacks and browns knew they were lucky and didn't push that luck. Even the criminal morons in the inner cities knew that cops were cops. In the 21st century, though, the CIA/media has decided race accusations are fashionable.
Fuckin, racism peaked in the 1990s. You could be racist and funny and nobody gave a real shit.
Of course CIA/Obama had to ruin all of that. Same with bullying. It too was at it's peak and the stakes were the absolute lowest. Now it's at it's worst and people are getting bullied into taking literally deadly vaccines as part of a state driven medical experiment.
The people of the 1990s were a bit dumb and deluded but they generally didn't hold the government in any high regard. 9/11 was an inside job to end this.
