      Yeah, pretty much any positive time in the US, we gotta remember that Black folks were excluded from the positive aspects of those times. Intentionally.

      Ok… Before that slavery and after that hyper imperialism. This is why I said for the most part. Plus ww2 had a lot of firsts for racial and gender equality.
