The below quote is from #TimWise (anti-racism activist and writer) in reference to how many white conservatives think of the 50s as the "Golden Years" in America. But they somehow disassociate themselves from the very different experiences of many people who were not white and living at that time. The same way that we too often forget that this country was founded on Native American genocide and then built on slave labor (that has existed for more time in this country than it hasn't). If you're a white person willing to "overlook" the "inconvenient" aspects of our history simply to remember a different time, then why is that? And if you're not willing to fully come to terms with that history, you're also going to be missing out on how it factors into the lives of marginalized communities today. This photo was only taken 60 years ago. I'm hopeful that we can all imagine how growing up black during segregation would make it much harder to build wealth and power than if one were white. And when you think about how wealth and power is transferred down from one generation to the next, I'm hopeful that you can see the connection between how being white in 2016 would be more likely to set you up for financial stability now and how we still need to employ corrective measures to even things out. And that's not even encompassing the racism and unconscious bias that exists on a personal level and in many structures of systemic racism. ------- "...and they are remembering this era as a wonderful, innocent time, rather than a time of evil oppression, which is what it was...anyone who recalls this era wistfully is not fit for the modern world or basic moral precepts...these pics are taken by Gordon Parks in the 50s...that period that white folks seem to remember as the golden era of the country...because blindness to racial terrorism is sort of our m.o...
