Was America racist in 1984?

Recommended Posts

   I was sixteen in 1984. I live in the Deep South and I sawr it. But it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was from us compared to the old fawkers you heard talk at Easter brunch and elsewhere. I would get up in disgust and leave. As did most our age. The Cosby show became the numbah one sitcom. Michael Jackson was the numbah one artist and Prince was on his way up with Purple Rain. As mentioned before with movie actors, they were climbing to the top. That was forty years ago.

I’d say we had 3-4 black or mixed kids in my High School.  One of the black kids was class president and slept over my house and i did  at his many weekends.

You don't remember The Chiefs super bowls back then ?

Royals abs Jayhawks were winners back then not chiefs.
