you typically only see the black and white images, but this colorized one adds another level or realness and normalcy to it. With the same states rights bull shit they try and hide behind today. This is why people are afraid to teach this in schools today. Those people are either still alive or are the children of someone in that image. Were not that far removed from our countrys dark times, and people are literally trying to bring it back today, with the GOP supporting them just to line their pockets. Plus, this is what any anti LGBTQ group looks like today.

this is why we need to put a bigger emphasis on this shit in schools.

Ahh, State Rights strike again.

damn. when will they not exist anymore?

That is hard to believe, they dont look like a super healthy bunch

.to insult assholes from the 60s? Not even really a take

Aleast they couldn't vote.

I have no idea when women started voting. I suck at history.

Anyway. The joke would be that they're oppressing people while being oppressed themselves

I see.....so the joke didn't land, I take it?

obviously they were still being oppressed. I just missed the mark with why lol

I wish I could go back in time and slap every one of those stupid hicks.

Less than 10 years ago there were still people alive from the 1890s. People being alive from the 50s and 60s isn't that crazy to me.

shut up

Maybe the kids.

Don't think those Karens are alive today.

They can be done where they don't look like shitty 60s TV color and actually look real. It's a lot more difficult though.

Like, this one of a sailor assaulting a nurse looks pretty good.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/3/4/AAQnM_AAC6_u.jpg

It's wild that today we have people who are like "Well yeah, what THEY did was wrong", but then them themselves are just the modern version of those people. It's just that they've been checked a couple times to stay more in line and have pushback when voicing such extreme and malicious perspectives today. I don't get how they don't see that they ARE those people >_>

Do they display different behavior now? Do you think the only reason they wouldn't today is because possible reprecussions?

"In the southern part of the United States, I was a slave, thought of and spoken of as property In the northern states, a fugitive slave, liable to be hunted at any moment, like a felon, and to be hurled into the terrible jaws of slaverydoomed by an inveterate prejudice against color to insult and outrage on every hand [] denied the privileges and courtesies common to others in the use of the most humble means of conveyancesshut out from the cabins on steamboatsrefused admission to respectable hotelscaricatured, scorned, scoffed, and maltreated with impunity by any one, (no matter how black his heart,) so he has a white skin. But now behold the change! Eleven days and a half gone, and I have crossed three thousand miles of the perilous deep. Instead of a democratic government, I am under a monarchical government. Instead of the bright, blue sky of America, I am covered with the soft, grey fog of the Emerald Isle. I breathe, and lo! the chattel becomes a man" - Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom, published in 1855

"All I want for Christmas is a clean, white school" and people wonder why Republicans and their hate-filled agenda get so much shit nowadays. Is this the way you all want things to go back to?

It's exactly what they mean by "Make America Great Again"

They absolutely want that.

How much of this can you blame on someone for being a "product of their time"?

If it's any consolation, they may be alive, but they probably ain't happy.

The black and white images that you reference are an editor's trick to trick you into subconsciously associating the subject matter as something that happened long ago, and can't be held to today's standard.

When I was growing up, we had a variant that was 'catch a tiger by the toe'. it never made sense to me, but nursery rhymes are usually garbled shit anyways.

This 60ish year old dude I have to interact with told me a story one time about how he used to go to civil rights rallys in Pittsburgh and throw darts at people marching, reminiscing like it was a good time. These vile ass people just exist.
