text: You remember a time when no one locked their​ doors and no one was afraid to walk the streets? You must not remember talking to a single black person, Irish person, Chinese person, Italian, Catholic or Japanese person during that time. Or gay people, or people in mixed marriages. Or many women. That time only existed for you because you happen to be a straight, white, protestant Christian male and sorry friend, but the majority of Americans are not all of those things. And I guarantee all of them were locking their doors and were frequently afraid to walk the streets back during your so-called golden years.
  Edit: Listen, I'm glad you could have that kind of childhood. That's the kind of childhood we should work for as a country to provide to every single American. But it is a total myth to pretend that every American back in the 40s, 50s, 60s, or whatever era has had access to that kind of childhood. And it is a myth to pretend that Christianity provided that childhood in the US.
