Are things worse now than they were before? Hell to the no! Are things bad now? Yes, of course. However, as a black man in America, you can’t tell me that we’re worse off now than we were considered 3/5 of a person. In addition, we didn’t have internet and 24 hour news cycle back in the day. Who KNOWS how much horrible shit used to happen. Think about it. We have kids dying because parents refuse to give their children medicine on some stupid religious faith bullshit, but compare that to when we had NO real medicine at all! The Ebola crisis is NOTHING compared to the bubonic plague! The only problem is that a LOT of people have this fake nostalgia about the supposed “good ol’ times”. I mean, what good ol’ times? Slavery times? Women’s suffrage times? Civil War times? French Revolution times? GTFOHWTB!!! Now, as I said, times are shitty, without question. However, we now have the tools to make it better. We just have to get rid of all of this BULLSHIT religious fundamentalism at the root of every problem. That’s why I’m an atheist and an anti-theist. Once people are able to wake up from this bullshit, we can finally realize what horrible shit we’ve done to this planet, and then we can finally begin to start self-actualizing as a human race. It’s gonna be tough, but if we want to survive, we have no other choice!
