But, I'll play along. Harlem Renaissance did not mean that you lived in Harlem, wise guy.
I never said, that times were not harsh in the past. I am the type of person who operates better in the heart of struggle and I'd rather be a proponent of change rather than a benefactor. The 1920s was a dynamic time for change and even more progress could not have been progressed. Furthermore, someone else stated that present day is a time of equality, since we're no no longer in 1920. I was debating that we're not living in a time of equality, just as they were not in the 1920s. The 1920s were more tolerant than the 1930s by many accounts (think Great Depression), just as a distant future will be much more accepting than we are today.
Finally, it sucks reading much of what you post, because you are knowledgeable about a variety of topics, but you fail to share/spread much of it, because you'd rather insult others for the sake of masquerading as the winner in an argument and increasing your e-fame.
Look did I miss anything from your post....you tried to act like a black person being reluctant to live in the 1920s isn't a sentiment shared by many. There are always going to be struggles for equality, as long as greedy men exist on this planet. But let's not downplay the progress that has been made since the 1800s and early 1900s. That is all. And don't act like there ur post didn't have a condescending tone as well. If you love the 1920s more power to you, but don't act like you don't understand why a black man wouldn't be quick to hop in a time machine and travel to the 20s.....wise guy
If you remember, I was responding to the fact that YOU labeled me white for being open to living in the 1920s (which wasn't even what me and dude were discussing). And yes, I’d accept an offer to travel via time machine. I’d go tothe distance past and the future. But, since that is not possible, I willcontinue to rely on books. So sue me, for being open and appreciative of notonly different people, but different times and places.
Anyhow like I said, many black people/people in general would share the same sentiment, let's not act like I said anything that goes against popular beliefs. I'd like to visit many times during human history but even that is too risky.....too much could go wrong. I'm good.
