The current trend of faux nostalgia of things that happened in the past ...

Isn't this a contradiction? If it happened, how is it faux?

I say it’s faux nostalgia because the attempt is being made to tie it into today. For example, we no longer live in the age of Jackie Robinson inequality. It’s great to remember the past, both good and bad. But we also have to remember we have moved on. Where is the inequality of opportunity exist today. My theory is that the social conscious is being held back by movie after movie, book after book, interview after interview, and the limelighting of certain crimes while others, far more wicked in scope and intent, are ignored. In this way I use the word faux. It may not be the best word.
