My reaction was “no fucking way this is 1989”.
It’s amazing how much wasn’t taught to us in US shcools
This is what real racism looks like

All racism is real racism, this is a shit post because it’s gate keeping “real racism” .

Look at those poor people, they only had one chair for two. So sad.

But the good thing is they had a slave. You gotta give it a positive view or else you might end up in El Salvador with a sore anus.

I will never understand how people can treat others as if they were less human than them.

The account is a random as random gets bot for its posting. Just go have a look at its spamming of the nsfw lemmy.

I fully agree, but I think this is the wrong community. There is a subtle not-so-great meaning to posting this as a shitpost which you might have missed.

I’m going to be honest with you, mate, I can’t really make out what you’re meaning very clearly from the pictures. The scale and coherency is off between each picture, and the school ratings one specifically is sort of scattered enough that I can’t tell much of a trend beyond more orange than green in the middle bottom with some random blue everywhere.

The best schools are in the white communities while the worst schools are in the hispanic / low income areas.

Well, yes. But that’s not a meme or a shitpost.

Why gig instead of 2 panels? Reading that was a very frustrating experience.

As opposed to non-real racism?

Why is this black and white? In '89?
pyre@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
because it was illegal to be mixed race

I didn’t think it was too uncommon. B/W images where often “crisper” and also seemed more artsy. I also remember quite a few B/W TV sets around in the late 80s.
gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Well, IDK. My family photos from the 80s are in colour (admittedly rather poor colour, but still), and a little looking up seems to suggest it fell out of fashion by that time. Maybe it was an aesthetic choice, yeah.

gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Yeah because frankly I was kind of feeling like this might’ve been one of those “make it black and white to make it look older than it actually is” type scenarios…

Black & White film was usually cheaper to buy and to process, it’s also easier to process yourself at home so was still quite common even into the late 90s.
In my family color photos were a rarity until my dad got a digital camera because it was easier for him to process the b&w film in a home darkroom.

About half of my family photos were taken in black and white film throughout the 90's. I think the film was marketed as having a "classic touch" or something to keep people buying it.

We have a family album with a bunch of photos from my brother’s toddlerhood in ~'83, mostly black and white. Those cameras were still around for a while (not in South Africa, though). Maybe family heirloom, maybe it was just cheaper, or some hobby stuff.
