No that's quite clearly stated but I always get pissed about anyone saying $country has done something forever because it's never true.
We're looking at like, what, 40 years of post WW2-time where that was true? That's a blip! A blip, I tell you!
Also there's still swaths of the country you can't visit as a black person with anything approaching relative ease.
It’s tru lol but still it’s not like it makes sent to talk about diners as we know them in like the 1800’s or something.
I don't think my great-grandmas birth-century is enough of a far fetched past to disregard. I met that woman.
The equivalent of a diner in the 1800s would be a tea house or something like that
Call me autistic but if your definition of "always" is "as long as diners existed" I'm thinking you don't actually know what always means. Or then still anything about history, if I go by like 1912 according to wikipedia we're still about a year out from the first intercontinental highway and about 50 from there being a giant star next to always saying only applicable to white males
I can’t tell if you’re being serious right now because yes I’m aware black people have not had a fair shake in this country since ever, no I wasn’t trying to get that deep. This conversation is ultimately about how bad chain restaurant food is. I’m not really sure what you want from me.
