Sounds like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!
I remember all that. I also remember south Florida when it was still Anglo.
If we had the same family/social values, respect for Christian faith and respect for the nation’s basic values like back then 2017 would be more awesome in comparison although we now have way too many foreigner imports with turd world mentality.
I would probably roll over on my side and say "just give me five more minutes."
Comparative to what happened later in the ‘60s, 1961 was an oasis of calm.
For most people in the country, it was still like the good old ‘Fifties. For me anyway.
when you all drove into Manhattan and saw My Fair Lady on Broadway
I can’t find anything to watch on TV now, so what is the difference? I have only had TV the past several years for grand kids, but now they can’t find anything to watch either. After November 1st we will be TV free. Hazel was a lot to take though, did anyone like that show?
“There’s only one drinking fountain. Where’s the other one?”
Of course! Bobby Buntrock, what a neat name. And Whitney Blake was a knockout!
I recall my great aunt and uncle (my grandmothers sister lived only one block over) went to New York City in 1965 Uncle Vernon said Coke cost .25 cents - we were shocked.
Do you remember 1961, or is it just what you’ve read?
““Did I wake up in hell?”
NO, ... just the outskirts of Detroit!
LOL!!
1961 was the year that America was introduced to Democrat National Committee member Bull Connor.
“I remember all that. I also remember south Florida when it was still Anglo.”
LoL!
“and a whole state under Marshall is ‘calm’?”
Who on earth is Marshall and what state are you talking about?
.
The problem is that while your medical care may give you a very few brief years, in terms of eternity it is virtually non existent.
You can take any year and pick out individual bad things.
The Freedom Riders were nothing compared to the later race riots in Watts, Detroit, Newark, etc.
The price of coke stayed a nickel for 70 years.
That's about the first half hour of the movie "Blast From The Past", which is in fact a pretty good comedy.
