You go to sleep tonight in your bed, dreaming pretty dreams.

When suddenly you're awoken by someone shouting at you "Hey bad news! You can't sleep in here!"

You jolt up and discover that you're no longer in bed but sitting on a stool at a diner in Nashville and it's 1954. You see your reflection in the mirror and despite being the same age and roughly the same body size, you look like a completely different person.

You've retained all your knowledge, skills and experience..... Well in your case I guess just knowledge and experience but you're now a black guy in 1954 Nashville.

How do you react?
What do you do?

If I am being reincarnated by some unknown force, then I'll just keep rolling the dice.

If I don't get reborn, well at least it was a fun science project.

time that would be big. Not sure if fidget spinners would be a hit in 1954.

I'm black irl, so do I stay the way I am? Do I stop being a lightskin? Has Wesley been born yet?

My parents haven't been born yet so I can't find my grandparents without risking something so I'll head north and write a shit ton of books that haven't existed yet and make bank the moment people start buying books by black people.
Actually fuck that I'll get in with the Civil Rights Movement, save MLK, then try to be the first black congressman. It'd be funny if I mananged to be the first black president decades ahead of Obama though.

Like I said, if you're black already you'd be the literal existence of lack of color itself.

It's like no one even read the topic.

This.

Move out west, get into betting, immediately move somewhere where white people won't come to kill me because of my success.

I'd bet on boxing and then eventually Super Bowls as they're the only major sporting outcomes I have memorized. Eventually dump a large portion of my money into Microsoft and then Amazon.

Heavyweight boxing started becoming really notable around that time with Rocky Marciano's reign, and then the first Super Bowl occurred in 67.

I'm not super aware of betting favorites and what not, but I know Muhammad Ali was a huge underdog when he first beat Sonny Liston in 64.

By the '70s I would definitely be a multi-millionaire. Setting me up pretty nicely for Microsoft's inception.

Bum my way out to Vegas, get a low end job and stay quiet. Bet on Rocky Marciano fights since he went undefeated. Low returns but I'll be able to build some cash.

I'd have to be careful because I would transition to betting on Floyd Patterson, but I know he lost his belt and then regained it. Can't remember against who though.

Would bet the bank on Sonny Liston getting two first round KOs on Patterson back to back. Then bet everything I own on Muhammad Ali upsetting Sonny Liston.

Then just ride on what I know about Muhammad Ali. Betting on him every early fight except for Joe Frazier and later Ken Norton.

I should be filthy rich come the '70s and can just relax until I wait to invest in Microsoft and wait for the giant boom to come.

All the while staying on my toes because being black I'll have plenty of adversity, especially considering the mob pretty much owned Vegas during those years.
