It seems like current racists behave like racists from the past. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

My Deep Southern parents were not amused when the blues revival of the 1960’s came to their living room.

Imagine thinking you could stop rock -n roll by being racist history proved the music was louder than the hate.

Fearing loss of identity and privilege still remains a powerful motivator, even after the age of slavery in America.

Imagine intentionally depriving yourself of Aretha Franklin just because you can’t stop being aggressively stupid for like 5 minutes.

My grandfather worked in a hardware store back in the 50s. The store sold LPs and they were referred to as “race records”.

I wonder how many records this poster accidentally sold.

Thought this was a recent poster in Florida before reading the description /s

My parents commonly saw signs like this when they were young, and yet I’m ‘only’ a Millennial. The world used to be so different, so recently.

My father was a racist. I am not. It is possible to see through the bullshit and reject that life of fear and hate.

Ineffective. Everyone liked these records and ripped them off since like the 30s

In New Orleans, of all places. Famous for Jazz.
No Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James or Louis Armstrong? No thanks.

Well now that just makes me want to listen to my records even *HARDER!*
Hell, I might even double ‘em up like a music cocktail! Maybe some Cab Calloway mixed with Muddy Waters.

There’s a theory the British Invasion was supported/promoted as an attempt to distract from the rise of black music

Rock n roll was bringing young people together and they saw it as a problem.

The white children who grew up in a world where it was okay to post these flyers are the children who are in charge of everything in this country, and they’ve raised the generation of racists who work a little harder to keep the quiet parts quiet.
And they will also adamantly deny white privilege has anything to do with the state of today’s society.

As a New Orleans native, I would like to sincerely apologize. We are still dealing with ingrained ignorance down here and it’s better now but not by enough.

This general idea is why Elvis was able to be crowned as the “King.”

Hahahaha! I can’t believe there was a time when people actually believed this trash. And it wasn’t really that long ago.

Not so much “pro-segregationist” as “fully smooth-brained racist.”

This sign could be from yesterday, and I would believe it. It shows how little US culture has evolved in… well, since inception basically.

I love hearing conservatives talk about how great live use to be. I tell them about this stuff and they say well besides that life was great. Well yeah duh, white people got a utopia no one was aloud in. Best part a lot of them consider themselves Christ followers…

I haven’t grown up in an environment where color seemed to be a topic (for whatever reason). For me this is so other worldly that it doesn’t even seem real. I have watched movies and read books but prefer this will never be something I will have to see in my life. I suppose the way Jews were treated by the Nazis before the actual genocide started might have been similar.

I’d pay cash to see these people react to some Ozzie or Metallica.

For people who claim to be superior, they certainly are afraid to compete against other races.

Don’t listen to soul stirring excellent music! Support the bland white musician. 🙂

Did anyone else read that in an old-timey white guy recording voice in their head?

For anyone who’s not aware of it, the Battle of Bamber Bridge is a really great encapsulation of how insane the politics of the USA were before the civil rights movement succeeded.
