Let's be raging nutjob eldergays in 1958

Why don't they just stay at the back of the bus

I'm sick of uppity woke blacks like Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks!

OP

Why are women working outside the home? They belong in the kitchen

If we let them in, our neighborhood will turn into a crime ridden shithole!

Here is racist Ben Franklin in not 1958 but 1751

[quote] Why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements and, by herding together, establish their Language and Manners, to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs any more than they can acquire our Complexion?

[quote] Which leads me to add one Remark, that the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny; Asia chiefly tawny; America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians, and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who, with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we, in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? Why increase the Sons of Africa, by planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

That’s very interesting. Even back then people were worried about whites being a minority.

The essay by Benjamin Franklin in r6 appears in a very commonly used history textbook-- Foner's, I think.

I thought it was interesting the Ben Franklin considered the Swedes generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion. The Swedes swarthy?

I take him out to look at the Queen/ He always shouts-out something obscene.
