I was watching Smithsonian last night and they had a series on the Green Book that all blacks back then carried at all times due to Jim Crow laws. It noted places where blacks could eat, sleep when they traveled. It marked gas stations that would serve them, the sunset towns to avoid. Sunset towns are where blacks couldn’t be out after dark.

I never knew about the book until the movie came out a year or so ago.

The green book predates Elvis’backup singers. My point is that the rising generation thinks that THEY ushered in civil rights and tolorance of weird sexual proclivities. The cognitive dissonance that exploded in a snowflakes head when he came upon a scene in a movie shot in 1977 wherein a father flippantly refrences a gay marriage in the family. The snowflakes head began skaking back in forth in denial as he began vocalizing scenarios that might explain this impossibility, such as that the movie was shot recently aND set in the 70s. When we hear that these people are delusional it is no lie or exaggeration.
