I was old enough to witness, live through, and understand white flight as it was happening in my NOLA neighborhood. Pre 09/11 is my litmus test for everything now, but I remember the second half of the 80s vividly, and it was amazing IMHO.
Kids born after 1990 have no idea. To me, most of them are completely different human beings because they didn’t get to experience the world at an old enough age before 09/11 to really understand and comprehend what the world was, and could have been. Then you turn right around, and the iPhone hits in 07 fucking those very same kids(now teens/young adults), and the world they’re forced to operate in even further. It’s fucking criminal what they were forced to grow up in and under, but sometimes I envy them because they don’t know what could have been like I do which probably makes the trash today a bit more palatable.

That's why every piece of history is being re-written. Media set in the 70s, 80s, and 90s are all being niggerfied in a concerted effort to erase reality
It was basically a culture shock for me to transition from Germany to Hungary. Everything was different - the teachers didn't throw a fit every few days, learning was actually valued, everyone did their homework, teachers and students treated each other with respect.
Not that it made a big difference in the learning matter, I learned trivial nonsense in both. But clearly it was much better in Hungary. I experienced the value of ethnic homogeneity personally.
