As a black, I wouldn't go back to the 1950's. Personally I wish I could've skipped ahead to the 2050's.

I see a lot of black players in here thinking that if we were to move back into America's past, that also means things would become more racist.

Obviously I don't think anyone is saying we'd take everything back from the past.

Also, there's really nothing to say America will not become more racist and divided than it is today, even if the women remain slutty. It's not like slutty women are a safeguard against racism. Racism seems to be it's own issue unrelated from the behavior of women.

It is not impossible to imagine a traditional society that would also be accepting of inter-racial marriages while still being opposed to hook-ups.

Actually feminism (2nd wave mostly) and black people's civil liberties in the US has gone in parallel.
The same civil liberties development has occurred in pretty much the whole western world.

Sluttiness is just the symptom. So no, these things don't happen in a vacuum.

There is no cherry picking.

I'm not cherry picking. We're discussing a hypothetical. I don't see a single reason why society couldn't become more traditional in regards to the family while avoiding racism. Even if the past wasn't like that, who's to say the future cannot be different?

Well that's certainly something else... the million dollar question, how would we make something like that possible?

I'd much prefer to stay single and be free. Free to quit a bad job. Free to move countries. Free to take up new interests. Free to travel. Free to go out with my boys. Free to do whatever the fuck I want. Give me my sluts and my freedom any day.

Well written dreambig, it sums up my views perfectly. Some of us aren't wired for a traditional life.

The culture we live in is already fading into further obscurity. A quick example of this if you look back 10-20 years people took genuine pride in how they labeled themselves; Father, stone mason, caregiver, soldier, christian, artist

Yep, back in 2004, those were the days...I could wander into the Stonemason's Quarter of the old city and be surrounded by those humble, honest Christian artists. Sadly, even by 2006 it was going downhill and by 2008 the centuries' old order had been completely overturned. One of these days I'll make a pilgrimage back to those ancient streets and pour out a libation to that civilisation, now so long gone in the Olde Days of 2004...

aye, those were the good olde days indeed. caregivers took actual pride in bringing the villagers some heartfelt care. When soldiers came back from war and as they were walking down the town square and the common folks welcomed them as heroes,.... you could see the pride glimmer in their eyes.

Alright maybe it was earlier.

Nope, enjoying the decline.

The only thing that was good in the fifties, is that we had strong navy. Navy would have been exciting.

Everything else was "business as usual" where odds were more even.

Today, by soaking myself into learning new stuff, i can rise to 5% of population in terms of personal well being - stack cash, be a bachelor, live minimalist lifestyle, invest, as opposed to acquire debt, get married and have two kids, purchase stuff you don't need and squander all on anti-depressants and beers to forget your shitty everyday rotation.

The most important thing that I like from the cultural decline is the availability of game literature that has allowed me to discover the true nature of women in a rational way. If I hadn't had read those books, I probably would still be a hopeless beta guy.

Undoubtedly yes.

I think you will find most RVFers saying yes but in their heart of hearts the answer is a resounding no.

This 1950s Golden Era crap is ridiculous.

Would the black players like to go back to 1950s Game where they get lynched for whistling at a white women?

This is why Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election. He stood for good family values and a time where a man's word was bond but he couldn't sell it to the masses. The liberal media slaughtered him when he mentioned the 1950s as a Golden Era by bringing up Civil Rights and Womens' Rights issues that are today considered a no-brainer.

No offense, but I think you're reading too much into the question asked.

Edit: Holy shit, didn't realize DrCotard necro-bumped this thread.

Yes, but only if I could retain my current knowledge about this culture, so I could staunchly defend it. Without this knowledge, I'd probably work against the new society.
