1950s America: A Utopia?

[Quintium]

That is possibly, the Germans and Japanese were also discriminated during World War II. though I never personally heard of such examples. In fact, there is quite the opposite examples like with Ayn Rand, who was a Russian.

If you need an example of Japanese people being discriminated against, they were locked up in camps during the war.

Also, for me, provided I wasn't born under the circumstances I was born in, 4 months early, that kind of stuff, I'd be fine, might I face some discrimination from the private schools, and in some parts of towns, and be prevented from living in some places ue to my religion, yes, But the school I would go to if I went Private, would be As good, if not better than that other school, and living in the parts of town, that had more Jewish people in them, would allow me to experience more and stronger Jewish culture, I'd be fine.

It had things that were good about it, and it had things that were bad about it.

Nobody worried about wars

Except they were shit paranoid about a nuclear war with the Soviet Union.

We can all talk about if your "white and christian" Bs but i would love the 1950s and im from Southern italian descent and i have very dark skin.

You'd like the 50's as much as the blacks liked Apartheid South Africa, then.

Also if you knew your history outside of the US deep south Black people had perfect rights.

If you mean they could vote without being killed...

Segregation didn't just happen in the South, you know.

And if you were darker skinned or of a different religion you wouldnt be killed.

You would only be put in the edge because of the social, and in some places official opression.

Trust me when i say big brother government im from South africa and i know the horrors of the ANC and of being chased away and killed by your countryman for the color of your skin. Let me tell you this that wouldnt happen in the 1950s

Just like the White did in the Apartheid?

Discrimination against Germans in the US during the WWII occured in a far-lesser scale since you a lot of Americans have German descent.

1950 in America was great...as long as you were white, male, christian and you were middle class or higher.

It pretty much sucked for everyone else.

This. Seeing as I'm not a white Christian male, well, I'd rather live in a different time.

[Personal Freedom]

One word:
Segregation

[Arglorand]

Ah, the 50s; When men were men, women were women, America was great, there was an obvious enemy to be hated, and society was good and decent. Looking back, I do long for a return to such a society...

There is an obvious enemy to be hated today.

it's called hate.

Your obsession with hating people and forcing them into certain roles is so unchristian that not even the Catholic Church manages it.

Curiously the movies never show how shitty it was for those non-white people.
Just these idiotic portrayals that try to depict the time as being utopian.

"What is it Billy?"
"Dad wanted me to make sure you were staying in the kitchen."

That's because Modesto doesn't have any black people.

Minus the Cold War and racism it was arguably the best time for America.

And the lack of women's suffrage, and the lack of labor laws, and the paranoia, and the McCarthyist suppression of liberties.
So no not really.

The only real Utopia was Sparta

You're funny.

It was good, if you were rich, white, from America, and capitalist.

Do you mean African-American suffrage? Women, despite being heavily discriminated against in the workplace and in society, gained universal suffrage in 1920.

Yes my mistake, thank you.

The fuck is a white nigger?

The fuck is a white nigger?

Racist pejorative slang for an Irishman.

[Uieurnthlaal]

The fuck is a white nigger?

My guess would be either someone from the middle-east, or a white campaigner for rights regardless of race.
