POLL: When do you think Black-White relations were at their best?

[RamsayBolton]

Ta-Nehisi saying we have the best group of white people ever right now in the modern day has stuck in my mind, now I'm curious

90’s was cool, especially when good hiphop dominated the airwaves

There was even good white music with songs we all knew

2010’s were fun af. 2000’s were cool, had a few white teachers that saw some potential in me and helped me out. Got an internship with my cousin doing civil engineering work and it was mostly older white people there but they was cool af. Gave me mostly bytch work but took me under their wings and showed me a bunch of shyt.

2010’s were fun with partying in SD. Was on a TV show as a recurring extra and it was white folks that gave me that opportunity.

But to answer your question, I don’t think it ever really changed, just got better over time depending on the atmosphere at the time. There was still racism and negative events that went on and continues. But I think it started to be less about JUST outright hating black people after 9/11

nah they be doing too much nowadays. be outside doing purity checks meanwhile having several members of their family outwardly racist. I knew this one white bish talking about "defund the police" come to find out her whole family voted for trump. so which one is it heaux?

did you order the shrimp with chicken or the beef with coke cause your selection is not adding up. I know you dont say that shyt at the family function. its that performative shyt that be throwing people off their scent.

Anybody who says 90s or 2000 is wiling

Anyone says 2020’s is wilding more

We were comparing eras against each other, right?


You think the 70’s/80’s was better?

 

[Vandelay]

1995-2005

After LA riots cooled off, up to Katrina. Black people dominated culture.

Edit: Forgot OJ. 2000s...

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

90s but before Rodney King and the Oj trial

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Obviously 2008 when they elected a half-black president. Many of those white people voted for Trump 8 years later but for a moment in time they aspired to be better. Then the far right and fox news chipped away at them and they went back to their tribal ways and the rest is history.

 

[UnQuantized]

It's never really been good. Even in the 90s and 2000s the white supremacy undercurrent was there but it had been pushed to talk radio. It wasn't cool to be openly racists and the economy was in good shape but the mask was always going to slip. They can't help their true insecure, hateful nature.

 

[The Pledge]

it’s easy to say 90s/00s when I was in my early teens to early adulthood but I didn’t know any better.

I think 2010s was decent because people were working. Jobs felt plentiful, people were getting home loans and shyt.

I don’t know,

Dunno but definitely not recently
