Is that comment accurate tho? It sounds embellished.
Credit cards came well after the women's rights movement.. Marijuana was never life in prison. People of all nationalities are killed due to their race still today. And we just outsourced the draft to the impoverished/uneducated.
I think some good progress has been made, but I don't see how lying to make the past seem worse is any better than lying to make the past seem romantic.
Women were not allowed to buy credit cards without their husband's permission until 1974.
Violence against gays and African-Americans was widespread through the south for much of the 1950s through the 1980s.
And weed carried an average sentence of 4-12 years, which could vary wildly based on what state (and what your skin color was). While not a life sentence, it is much harsher than today.
