Suddenly I'm reminded of the decent (grown) people who yelled in six year-old Ruby Bridges' face when she was merely attending elementary school. So if that was 1960, I'm just wondering when those good ol' days you're referring to where.

It is an expression, you needn’t interpret it literally.

[LetsGetTechnicl]

Oh, okay. I guess that's a convenient excuse to not have to back up your words.

This is hn not reddit, do you really expect a response to your whataboutism?

[angoragoats]

His reply was not whataboutism; it was a legitimate and direct retort to your post that exposes that what you asserted was false.

[crims0n]

You can literally replace the first four words in their sentence with “What about when”.

[angoragoats]

That’s not what whataboutism is; it requires the “what about when” to be followed by a change of topic, to distract the other party from the original topic.

[LetsGetTechnicl]

"Whataboutism" is just asking you to validate your claims, I guess.

[crims0n]

You don’t need me to validate it for you, search “never discuss politics or religion in polite company” - it was a common maxim.

[angoragoats]

What, exactly, was the expression in your post that was not meant to be interpreted literally?

[crims0n]

“Good ol’ days” is an idiom.
