to go back
growing up I always heard people say how much they loved the past. opinions ranging from we must learn from the past to move forward to I wish I could have lived in ____ decade. as I got older I heard more such as "life was simpler" and "people knew their place." however now after the last few years or even the last few months, I realized something. these people only wanted to go back to the time before because it benefitted them. most of them have never looked based the version of for example the 50's that most of us think of. the one with the milkshakes, and sockhops. they never look just below the surface at what happened behind the photos. sadly, many times they did they never cared. they didn't care about the murders, the rapes, the lynchings. they didn't care about the mothers who died while Drs debated if her life had enough meaning to save her life.
