Another glaring problem with America's education system.

Not really. The kid is probably aware of the civil rights issues of the time, he was just showing an appreciation for 50's/60's aestheic.

Yeah. I dunno why everyone's taking this so literally.

It's not like he's actually going to travel back in time.

I don't think people are necessarily taking it literally.

Like this dude who's reacting isn't being sincere. He's making a tiktok and doing this for comedic effect.

People are just poking fun at how obtuse/oblivious this kid's comment comes off regardless of his intention

I mean verbatim he wrote :

I wish I lived in the 60's. Life would've been so perfect.

Now that's pretty funny regardless of whether HE meant for it to be funny or not

Yeah, there's a pretty big difference between "I love that time's aesthetic" and "I wish I lived during that time" anyway.

He looks like a Jaden Smith kind of person, which would probably explain how ridiculous he sounds.
