    And it was worse too, because racism absolutely existed in the 80s, just as it always has. However people in the 80s knew racism was wrong, and bad. Even in the 80s, you knew you didn’t want to be known as a racist.

    Shit, interracial marriage was not acceptable to the majority of Americans until 1994. People deluded themselves into thinking that was not racist.

      I still run into people who claim that “Race Mixing” is this radical thing that the “super liberal mainstream media” is “pushing against people’s will”

      Well I did until I stopped using Facebook…

      I cannot believe the idea of an interracial marriage is STILL taboo.
