    No, because the racism I deal with in 2022 would be far worse in the past. It kinda makes me sad to see privileged people longing for past eras and seemingly forgetting about how brutal those times were for BIPOC.

    Like my mom grew up with segregation and “whites only” signs everywhere, so it’s weird to hear my white friends talk about the same era as if it were good times all around. My dad grew up working on a plantation run by the British too.
