Man I'm sick of nostalgia for the 1950s

7. Yep, for a brief slice of the 20th centuries job opportunities were plentiful for white males...

but it didn't last as long as nostalgia suggests. as job ompetition from black and brown men and women of all colors was non-existent—the pool of good, high-paying jobs were reserved for white men.

Once the competition for good jobs was gradually opened for others, well of course it wasn't so easy for white males to always get the good jobs. Resentment from this time is still being felt and the blame placed on the "other"— POCs, when it should be placed on corporate heads who keep shipping jobs overseas, allowed to btw, by complicit, repug-dominated Congresses. And note that the recessions always happen when a complicit repug is in the White House. Dems get in and dig us out.

And when it's looked at objectively, it only lasted from the end of WWll (all the Rosie the Riveters where kicked out to the curb and back to being housewives), and white males took those good, family-supporting jobs back. I really shouldn't say back because before the war there was the many-years-long Great Depression where many were out of work.

So the rose-colored-glasses, 50s nostalgia didn't last that long at all, and there were resessions during that time too, the late '50s for instance.
