There is no institutionalized racism against whites like to was back in Clint's day.
Tell that to the wives and children of dead white cops.
I don't think he was looking fondly on segregation, he was talking about how quickly and conveniently the word racism is thrown around today. And he's right. Feelings have become the prominent concern for many these days. Hurt their feelings and they get apoplectic, like a child.Well back in his day no one was called racist because discrimination against minorities was acceptable.
This man is 86 years old. Back in his day segregation was in full swing. Back in his day women were treated like objects and sexual harassment was acceptable and women just has to "deal with it." A black woman like myself wouldn't have the education and the experiences I've had if things were like they were back in his day.
This man is the same age as my grandmother. Except she is a black woman and unfortunately doesn't have the same fondness of the past like Clint Eastwood does. She had to deal with racist mofos, limited job opportunities and whole a lot of other crappy things.
I'm glad things aren't like the way they were back in his day.
And what I'm saying is that racism wasn't thrown around because it was acceptable to be a bigot back then. In fact you weren't a racist people were called things like ****** lovers.
