America is a different place than it was 75 years ago - it was relatively safe

I am sixty, hell, We had harmony and communal harmony back then, it was safe back in the mid sixties. Then, diversity reared it's ugly head. Diversity is the enemy of commonality. A community is about people that conform to laws, standards and ethics . Diversity means ... divisiveness, opposition, and it is the opposite of communal harmony. It leads to divisiveness. If you are black, Hispanics or homosexual...it's divisive as hell. Diversity means divisive. Let's be inclusive. Forget about the clauses.
I grew up in those times
Yea, everything was harmony. As long as blacks knew their place, women accepted their role, gays stayed in the closet........everyone was happy

Great time to be a straight, Christian, white male

Well, things were safer when blacks knew their place. Since the color barrier has been removed, blacks freely commit crimes against whites and the neutered news media tries to not even mention that the perpetrators are black, like in that bart train robbery in Oakland several weeks ago. The politically correct media just said a group of teenagers robbed...sure. The coverup of black on white crime in this country is big time and many people like yourself who live in bubbles and aren't savvy and world wise don't have a clue. You're fed the propaganda that it's the whites beating and terrorizing the blacks and you believe this crap.
white people on Wall Street looted the US and the middle class of billions of dollars ... I believe the White race has a criminal streak in its DNA
 
Seventy five years ago people in America walked the streets at night in major cities with few concerns...and left doors open all night.

Shoplifting was a minor problem and violence against Law Enforcement was nearly unheard of.

It was a friendlier time when you were more likely to be helped by your fellow American than hurt by them.

Today...we live in a totally different place. Danger is lurking everywhere. Theft and crime run rampant. Police are shot and killed for fun. The elderly are victimized as quickly as anyone else.....
Brazen Thief Steals Purse From Woman, 82, on Scooter at California Supermarket

Young people text and drive killing thousands each year......People cheat the system rampantly....

The ONE caveat, and an important one, is that Civil Rights are more equally spread among all Americans.
But at what cost? Did we trade a safe society for one that has everyone closer to equal?
Surely VERY few people actually would still support slavery and the majority are pleased with equality for all.
But again, at what price?

So, what exactly has changed?

'danger is lurking everywhere'- wow.

Notice how you didn't provide any statistics to support your claims?

1942 is a weird date to chose from- we had just entered into World War 2. We had a rise in crime in the 1960's and 1970's- which peaked in the 1990-'s- and has been generally decreasing since then. You are safer now from crime than you were 20 years ago .

In the long term, violent crime in the United States has been in decline since colonial times. The homicide rate has been estimated to be over 30 per 100,000 people in 1700, dropping to under 20 by 1800, and to under 10 by 1900.[6]


After World War II, crime rates increased in the United States, peaking from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Violent crime nearly quadrupled between 1960 and its peak in 1991. Property crime more than doubled over the same period. Since the 1990s, however, crime in the United States has declined steeply. Several theories have been proposed to explain this decline:
Violent crime peaked in the 90s because of the crack wars
It has been declining ever since
. Everything comes in cycles dummy... Otherwise what will be the new trend or war created, and then fought afterwards ? People are quite creative in creating issues where none exist.
 
It really was different back then in many ways.
ahhh the good old days ...you all miss the tranquil days

Either money crooks or anyother crook and/or bad person in life, the results of being bad are the same. The degree in which some decide to take their bad does vary. Laws are supposed to curtail the bad, but if don't enforce the laws at the very least, and then create a revolving door justice system in the process, well we get what we get but then we complain about it as if we are dumbfounded about it all ?? LOL.

The Negro Holocaust: Lynching and Race Riots in the United States,1880-1950

by
Robert A. Gibson

The United States has a brutal history of domestic violence. It is an ugly episode in our national history that has long been neglected. Of the several varieties of American violence, one type stands out as one of the most inhuman chapters in the history of the world—the violence committed against Negro citizens in America by white people. This unit of post Reconstruction Afro-American history will examine anti-Black violence from the 1880s to the 1950s. The phenomenon of lynching and the major race riots of this period, called the American Dark Ages by historian Rayford W. Logan, will be covered.

Immediately following the end of Reconstruction, the Federal Government of the United States restored white supremacist control to the South and adopted a “laissez-faire” policy in regard to the Negro. The Negro was betrayed by his country. This policy resulted in Negro disfranchisement, social, educational and employment discrimination, and peonage. Deprived of their civil and human rights, Blacks were reduced to a status of quasislavery or “second-class” citizenship. A tense atmosphere of racial hatred, ignorance and fear bred lawless mass violence, murder and lynching.

In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the lynching of Black people in the Southern and border states became an institutionalized method used by whites to terrorize Blacks and maintain white supremacy. In the South, during the period 1880 to 1940, there was deep-seated and all-pervading hatred and fear of the Negro which led white mobs to turn to “lynch law” as a means of social control. Lynchings—open public murders of individuals suspected of crime conceived and carried out more or less spontaneously by a mob—seem to have been an American invention. In Lynch-Law, the first scholarly investigation of lynching, written in 1905, author James E. Cutler stated that “lynching is a criminal practice which is peculiar to the United States.”1

Most of the lynchings were by hanging or shooting, or both. However, many were of a more hideous nature—burning at the stake, maiming, dismemberment, castration, and other brutal methods of physical torture. Lynching therefore was a cruel combination of racism and sadism, which was utilized primarily to sustain the caste system in the South. Many white people believed that Negroes could only be controlled by fear. To them, lynching was seen as the most effective means of control.

Hmm, what are the stats concerning safe areas and unsafe area's within the country over a 75 year period going back now ? Has it gotten better for the majority of the country or worse ? Will be interesting to hear that answer by someone here. I know of areas that have gone bad over time, but are the new areas (suburban), that are created larger than the over all consumption of the old areas going bad now ? This could be a huge contributor to the mindset of those who are left behind or can't get out due to old age, and have since been caught up in the government mishandling of the situation by creating dependency that gives very little hope to those trapped in that dependency. These people then move into areas on the governments dime, and in their impoverished dependency they can literally destroy the safety and value of an area in which is huge all depending. Not sure what the rates are between decline and new in the situations.
 
Your odds of dying or being killed are a lot less today than in 1942

That sounds safe to me

It's simply refreshing to introduce some facts and history into the fantastical yearns you like to spin....
 
"So, what exactly has changed?"
The philosophy of racism by whites is coming home to roost like some of the founders predicted.

So ALL whites are racists? uh huh. NEXT
Stop whining. I didnt say all. Lots of white women love Black people

They're not white any longer if they choose to do that.
They are white and happy....

They're white trash due to their choice.

The Puzzling “White Indians” Who Loved Their Abductors.
Posted on April 5, 2014 by admin

Captive-taking by Native Americans was surprisingly common in Colonial times.

It was also common for captives to choose their Native communities over their Colonial families.

This puzzled the European Americans to no end.

They came to America believing that conversion would be easy once Natives saw the superiority of the Europeans’ religion, clothing, agriculture, dwellings, and every comfort known so far to man.

Yet there were very few Indians who converted to English culture, while large numbers of English chose to become Indian. Even Benjamin Franklin pondered why:

“When an Indian child has been brought up among us, taught our language and habituated to our customs, yet if he goes to see his relations and makes one Indian ramble with them, there is no persuading him ever to return. [But] when white persons of either sex have been taken prisoners young by the Indians, and lived a while among them, tho’ ransomed by their friends, and treated with all imaginable tenderness to prevail with them to stay among the English, yet in a short time they become disgusted with our manner of life, and the care and pains that are necessary to support it, and take the first good opportunity of escaping again into the woods, from whence there is no reclaiming them.”

One author put a bottom line on it in 1782, writing that,

“thousands of Europeans are Indians, and we have no examples of even one of those Aborigines having from choice become Europeans!”



Most of the thousands of “white Indians” left no explanation as to why they chose their adopted Native families and culture over the Colonials. They just traded in their hard shoes and disappeared into the wilderness.

The only narratives we have are from those who chose to return to Colonial society. In those writings, it is clear that the “white Indians” valued what Axtell calls the Natives’

“strong sense of community, abundant love, and uncommon integrity – values that the English colonists also honored, if less successfully.”


Axtell also notes other values, such as:

“social equality, mobility, adventure, and, as two adult converts acknowledged, ‘the most perfect freedom, the ease of living, [and] the absence of those cares and corroding solicitudes which so often prevail with us.”



Face it....nobody wants to be with your kind....
