The people who want this want to be that grandpa.
Make America Grandpa Again
Absolutely no regard for the thoughts or desires of anyone other than WASPs? This is a picture from the 50s, right enough.
Good thing we tackled that polio issue.
Well according to a doctor, since lot of people are not talking vaccine now, polio is coming back and the government has added polio vaccine as one of the requirements last year for people. I had to take adult polio vaccine because I didn’t have records that I took it as a child (which I didn’t think would need because it was compulsory for children when I was little).
*Cue the sounds of POC being beaten within an inch of their lives for drinking from the wrong fountain *
¿Que?
Black people in America during the 50’s were not treated well. They were hung, beaten, had their homes and communities destroyed often. There were also separate facilities such as schools, restaurants, and fountains. Many places were specifically “White Only.” There were Sundown Towns that pretty much made it illegal to be black after sundown. There were books (green book) written and circulated to make it easier for POC to find hospitable places to travel.
This is not to say everything is all fine and dandy, but POC are usually not the ones dreaming about “the good old days.”
I apologize for wasting your time and effort with that comment. What I was alluding to is that you used “que” instead of ‘cue’. lol
I will say that i still appreciated your comment and that you are exactly right about racism in the US.
Oh shoot, I’m sorry. That comment was too smart for me. 😅
Well, you have to give it to the 50s. They were closer to shooting Nazis than voting them into the White House.
On the other hand, the Nazis they didn’t shoot were put to work on the space program.
