Yes, very sadly. “The good old days” are usually the segregated 1950’s in the minds of older folks. Younger people who never lived through the decades of the 50’s-70’s are probably just nostalgic for an imaginary time that their parents implanted in their minds. I see so many people in their 20’s-40’s at these supremacist / anti-antifa / pro-Trump rallies. They don’t want to have a clue.

We haven’t yet reached a point where everyone in the country has an equal opportunity, but when we do, why wouldn’t these retrograders be ecstatic? It’s like a Cinderella team winning a national championship. It’s what the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and every social justice movement in our history has yearned for. The quest for equal opportunity (i.e. a level playing field) is what makes America great.
