That's such crap, John... The USA you grew up in was at the tail end of segregation and Jim Crow, to say the least. You'll have to take my word for it that in general, things were much more civil. I was thinking this morning the 9/11 really did change everything. America in two quagmire wars, torturing detainees, huge ideological divisions and grid lock, huge deficits. People REALLY hating the other side. It seems the country is getting less wealthy everyday. Read an article yesterday that many, many cities are going to start turning off their street lights to save money. (Not that I think it's a bad thing) but it's pretty strange to live in an America where cities can't afford to light the streets. Very 3rd world. What goes next? My other thought was that bin Laden won the war on terror. The US is crumbling from the inside. We are at each others throats. We can't solve basic problems. No, it's really different now. Much more hate than I ever remember. Dating it to 9/11 might be controversial but it seems to be the time when things really started to unravel.
