Imagine when kids were all free range.

I am so happy I grew up “free range”.

Remember when the kids in the Our Gang and Little Rascal movies didn’t give a damn about diversity, race, economic status (within their own group), or having “one’s own space”.

Since I’m older than most of you kids, I remember when desegregation started in the 50’s, but like the kids in these movies, in our Junior High School race wasn’t important. We elected a black student as VP of my year in 1958, and he was a real gentlemen. It was quite an honor but to us, it was no big deal as he was our friend. And that’s the way is should be.

The Our Gang and Little Rascal movies were socially way ahead of their times and yet everyone loved them. Kids were kids back then no matter what their skin color or ethnicity or religion. And if you belonged to a group, you were all brothers (and sisters). Pick on one, pick on all.

Self-generated “social progress” was done in the movies and in the schools/streets long before Marxist “diversity” parasites got into the act and ruined things for every body.

Movie writers and producers were often far ahead of their times in terms of dealing with unspoken or hushed up social issues, and we need to thank them for it.

Just imagine SciFi without Gene Roddenbery and the crew of the Enterprise. It would be good but it would be bland.

He created a future about an American-led crew going into space together, working together, and when necessary, fighting together, for each other and the mission.

Roddenberry gave us a view of his hope for the future, one that Obama and his divisive Marxist minions are destroying, just as the Our Gang and Little Rascal movies gave up a view of a better society in the making way back then.
