Were things better in the 50s

I know I am probably going to get severely attacked for this. Aside from the human rights violation Black people should have never been treated the way they were .

Do you think it was better when families were a priority and mothers were at home ? When kids could play safely outside until the street lights came on? When they could play Cowboys and Indians and ride their bikes, practically anywhere.? When people actually stood for the national anthem with their hand over their heart ? Law-enforcement was respected.? And going to church on Sunday was a priority?

The fifties in England were very poor. The class system was rife.

There had been hope in the Attlee years that society would be more equal. A Health service next to none. Slum clearance.

Mains sewage did not come to my village till 1957.

Pre television for most of us. And then the stuffy BBC.

Families close together though.

Men went to work , women stayed at home doing endless housework.
