The ones where the men go off to work every day to support their family.


Meade wouldn't make it in the 1950s.

Maybe he wouldn't need to, they kept their retards under wraps back then.

This thread will be down in the day. Meade can't help not being controversial, everytime he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it. But he does say what he means and doesn't talk just to hear himself. Give credit for honesty.

Meade's understanding of the fifties comes from sitcoms and Good Housekeeping mags from that period.

Meade has nostalgia for an age that never existed.

I thought no one could be stupid enough to believe those idealized representation of the times reflected the true fifties.


I guess I was wrong...

Meade wasn't there. Does he remember McCarthyism, duck and cover, Elvis and Pat Boone stealing songs from Black artists, the self created problems when HST desegregated the armed forces, Jim Crow Laws, and the lack of consumerism in product safety an liability?

Phyllis Schaffly argued for years women should get sole custody of children after a divorce. She was wrong. Does Meade agree the mother is more important in raising kids than the father? Does Meade agree that rape was to be hidden, and women were considered provocative in rape cases?

Alot of these trumptards like Meade wax nostalgic about how great America was in the 50s, not realizing that federal income tax on salaries over 50k was 75%. And it was 91% on income over 200k.

First, there is no word "alot," there is an "allot," but that is a different word.

Second, to contradict the Tax Foundation and Grover Nordquist, between 1950 and 1959, the highest earning 1 percent of Americans paid an effective tax rate of 42 percent. By 2014, it was only down to 36.4 percent—a substantial but by no means astronomical decline. This figure included all state, federal, and payroll taxes.

Meade is in his forties and has yet to figure out how to support himself.

Why does he pine away for the time a man was expected to be the sole support of his family?

that drill affected a lot of children mentally. Polio was a big scourge in the 1950s. DDT was not very good. They used to spray it from planes like in the movie "North and Northeast spraying Cary Grant. There was a medication called Thalidomide that caused massive birth defects. Just watch the video by Billy Joel "we didn't start the fire", that explains it well. Meade is living in LALA land again.

Interesting Meade chose the Donna Reed Show as an example. I will give it to Meade, he is right, but for the wing reasons, and a racist motivation.
Let me explain.

In the 1950s and into the 1960s, the depiction of work in television suburbs was sectioned off according to family members. While the suburban dream emphasized a homogeneous definition of the family, domestic architecture was set-up to display class Attributes and reinforce gender-specific functions of domestic space-fathers worked outside of the house, mothers on the inside.

In real life, as well as In television, the suburban model was based on a white, middle-class family, whose fathers/husbands worked outside of the house earning the sole income, and mothers/wives worked from the inside of the house maintaining a high functioning, uniform domestic front. An additional area of work existed that included employees hired from the outside, by the family, to work on the inside. In this channel of employment, different classes and races gained entrance into this otherwise exclusive world.

Historically, the relationship between the suburb and race, specifically African-Americans and Anglo-Americans, both on and off television, has been a strained and evolving one. During the 1950s and 1960s, purchasing a home in the suburbs was
difficult for non-white families. Loan applications, accepted if submitted by whites, were
rejected when filed by black families of similar standing whose backgrounds were carefully screened to make sure they were in fact members of the middle-class.

Furthermore, in many communities where non-white families were allowed residency, They were not permitted to buy houses adjacent to each other in an effort to keep one family of color per block and were often sold lots that bordered on the edges of the Community as a way to isolate these households.

The American suburb/city split, in its formative years, was acutely influenced by
a desire of some to enforce racial separatism and exclusion. The FHA was key in insuring
the all-white demographics of such neighborhoods making these practices more public
policy then just personal opinion.

White-flight from cities to suburbs,
was in many ways a rejection not only of urban living, but also of the communities of
color that inhabited those metropolises. The goals of this utopian
ideal would not benefit everyone: An ideal white and middle-class home life was a
primary means of reconstituting and resocializing the American family after World War
II. By defining access to property and home ownership within the values of the
conventionalized suburban family, women and minorities were guaranteed economic and
social inequality. Racial (white) homogeneity was part of the perk in
selling the suburban American Dream to potential residents, and its exclusionary
philosophies were part of the reality of the racist American Nightmare.


In real life suburbia was easily reflected on
television, there were no people of color in those communities off-screen, there would
be none on-screen as well. The most popular programs depicting these neighborhoods,
such as Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver and The Donna Reed Show, had no significant black character roles.

Overall, portrayals of people of color were few and far
between during the early years of television programming, particularly rare was the
depiction of non-white families ( other than "Bula," and "Amos and Andy," and we can get to those later. There were no Black actors ever on the Donna Reed Show, and Leave it to Beaver had one line spoken by a black maid for its six season run. There were no Blacks on Father Knows Best, but a Mexican gardener was featured twice.

Girls who went to college during the 50s tend to have majored in Home Economics. Black actors were few. Among the shows that had Black character actors were, Jack Benny Show, although Black comedians like George Kirby were working TV. Lawrence Welk had a Black tap dancer.

a young Greg Morris on "Dick Van Dyke Show", only Black I recall on that show. Sammy Davis Jr on the "Rifleman" showing off his gun handling abilities, Sammy had the fastest most accurate draw in Hollywood. The "Goldbergs", a early situation comedy about a Jewish Family was popular. Adventures of Boston Blackie was popular but he was white. Most Black actors in Hollywood would be used just as extras in Tarzan movies as natives; or as train or toilet attendants, servants, slaves, roles like that..

My point was about suberbia and the White family as depicted on TV in the 1950's.

In the 1960's, we were given a few new shows with Black stars, "Julia" being the first to Star a Black woman. But it wasn't until the 1970's when we were given a show about a Black family with both a father and a mother (Good Times).

For Meade to celebrate a time and a place that didn't exist, and believe he was supposed to be part of it, is saddening. And, by the way, the daughter on the show was an entitled self centered bitch who showed no emotion toward anyone but herself.

To Meade's disappointment Donna Reed left the Republican Party after 1964, was a strong anti war activist, and supported Engine Mccarthy in 1968.

Meade might have said that putting on a Yankee uniform to star in a movie was the hardest thing he had to do, but he profited from that. Same as a Yankee getting paid soldier's pay back during the War. Explain that in your next volg Meade? Why you put on a Yankee uniform. It made me sick to see.

I was always fascinated with the 50's, which ended about 12 years before I was born. Grew up loving those old cars, watching Lucy and Beaver and a bunch of other great re-runs. Parents and grandparents always told me about the good old days.

What the hell is he talking about? Ricky Nelson was forced into marriage after getting his girlfriend pregnant. They even sent out a press release after the baby was born saying the child was born premature. She was not.

About three fifths of alll abortions in the 1950's, legal or not, were given to non married young women (as depicted accurately in the movie "Cidar House Rules"). Taking a long weekend in Puerto Rico was code for going down and getting an abortion.

According to OB GYN journals at the time, About 30% of women who got married in the 1920's through 1950's were pregnant at the time, giving us the term "shotgun wedding." The Pentagon had rules for servicemen who got American women (stateside) pregnant, which included marrying them.

What concerns me, after watching what should be a parody, is the extremely narrow and unbalanced view of history this man received from television, resulting in a pervasive and terrible ignorance of our nation and its historic, many times flawed, roots. The video displays clearly his desire to negate the great strides our society has made over the last 60 years with regards to Civil Rights for all.

How, after all, can people know how far we, as a fractured society in the 1950's, have come, if they don’t know, or they have a polyannish distorted view of, where we started?

Voting rights. Civil rights, women's rights, birth control, better education for minorities, stoping the draft, the EPA, opening universities to the poor, and laws against red lining and housing discrimination, were all below the radar issues in the 1950's for most white people. To celebrate that time over today is simply chosen ignorant bliss.

As Franklin, the statesman not the cartoon turtle, said," the golden age is never the present."

Many homes had Bomb Shelters. Yes Meade actual bomb shelters. All public building had a Civil Defense Shelter sign. Religious prayer was taken out of the Public classrooms, every Friday at noon Civil Defense sirens were tested. we never came closer to actual Nuclear War, total destruction than during the Cuban Missile thing. Cigarettes were all over the place, everyone smoked. Lead gas pollution. Don't ever tell people who lived through it how great it was!!!!!! You know nothing of the 1950s!!!!!!

That's just the nature of the filth that resides on this website, Spacy. You've been here for a long time. I'm surprised you haven't figured this out yet.

True shit. I don't think you've heard me complain at all about my forum being slow. Keeps the bills low. It'll take off with proper advertisement. Only thing is, not a lot of people know about Virginia Connected. Obviously it's going to be slow.



Goodbye.

picking on retards constitutes 90% of activity on this site. Sometimes it's retards picking on each other.

Not really picking on Meade, it is more like setting him straight. He comes out with all kinds of nonsense about the 1950s. "Happy Days", the TV show, was garbage. A pencil necked geek like "the Fonz", would get his butt kicked if he encountered real leather jacketed hoods with engineering boots and switchblades. Have to set Meade straight. He just can't say what he wants regardless of the truth of the matter.

Meade and miz should form a collaboration team, Miz does the lyrics and Meade does the music. That might be lucrative. miz has a talent with words, he writes some great stories.
