As
We have people making decisions based on ideals from 40 to nearly 60 years ago, and that's considered in touch with today's realities?
This outdated perspective is putting seats, like those on the Supreme Court, in jeopardy at the worst possible time.
Wreaks of selfishness and the ability to not read the room.
Ideals from 40 to nearly 60 years ago:
Women are to be wined, dined, impressed, married and valued as a partner for raising a family.
Gay people exist in your community, we all know who they are, and we peacefully coexist.
Girls use the Girls' bathrooms at school; boys use the Boys' bathroom.
People with penises are called boys/men. People with vaginas are called girls/women.
Gangsters did what they did, but never fucked with the kids nor the parents of the person with whom they had differences.
You had to know somebody in order to buy dope in a Black neighborhood.
Popular music focused on subject matter such as love, peace, fantasy, good times, and other positive themes.
Thugs were something respectable Black people avoided like the plague. They were considered "NOK", not our kind.
Calling a Black woman a bitch meant you were ready to engage in physical combat.
People actually raised their own kids, as opposed to letting the streets/schools/internet do it for them.
Welfare was for people who needed a TEMPORARY safety net to regroup and re-establish their lives.
I can go on.
What do you have offer to support your point of departure?
My bad. Idioms are probably not a good idea here.... as is evidenced by your lack of fluidity with English, Comrade.
Ahem... I mean, Bro.
Your turn.
