How did we survive growing up?

[caserio1]

cas is not "trying" to say anything
 
and if yer gonna deny that the good old days involved racial discrimination
 
deny it, who cares?
 
just don't try to slip it by me

Then why did you have to bring that up in the first place?

So I guess caserio/stalker is blind too, or just an antagonistic liar?  I counted at least 6 instances...twice when the little boys were riding bikes down the street, a black boy riding the big wheel, the kids in jail included one little black boy, the boy with the police officer was black, and I believe there was a little black girl in a playground scene.
 
Please ignore the stalker/troll...

[caserio1]

why did I bring it up?
 
you waxed nostalgic for the good old days
 
and cas felt an obligation to set the record straight
 
the problem is not the good old days but believing they were so good
 
that's how they get repeated

Up your nose with a rubber hose.

Caserio needs to feel an obligation to not politicize this Board and try to turn it into something it isn't. 

We are friends here no matter what our color, race or religion - we all get along.............and we don't call each other out.  Caserio there is no need for you to be here...............it's not your cup of tea and you should go and look for arguments and uncivil behavior where you belong - back on the excite Board.

Those sure were the good old days, Sunshine. Life was simpler and being a kid was filled with what seemed like endless imagination and energy. Not perfect Cas but overall I think you would agree. Sorry I missed the Beatles special. If I get a chance to see it somehow will think of you, Emily! You have some amazing history!

[caserio1]

your halcyon days of yesteryear were not all that halcyon
 
and to wax nostalgic over them is to deny reality
 
trust me ward and june cleaver never came close to existing
 
neither did ozzie and harriet
 
cas was personally involved in the fight for equal rights and saw the ugly
 
close up
 
so my take would be a lot different than yours, more factual

[emilyB]

Well don't let your take on everything spoil a trip down memory lane for everyone else.

[caserio1]

why are you so afraid of the truth ?

[pacifica]

They were pretty close to Leave It To Beaver/Oz+Harriet days. At least some or most days haha. I'm sure you have happy go lucky stories to tell Cas if you want to. 

Oh and good for you for being "in the fight for equal rights".
