WHen performing in blackface was perfectly fine and the words cultural appropriation had never been uttered.

Folks a little more woke these days. At least most folks. Racists have generally flocked to the Republican party. White supremacists like Steve King openly display their racism in the halls of congress and get re-elected in spite of it. Hate crimes against people of color have soared under Trump. You might know your history very well, Senator, but you don't much seem to be up on current events.
Had you read the articlr Greger you would have learned that not everything was segregated. Employment in our federal government was DESEGREGATED which Pres. Wilson reversed. The only place where there is rampant racism in the Republican Party is in the minds of Democrats. When Rep. King made those comments he was punished by his fellow Republicans in Congress. Rep. King Since it appears you don't read the articles I posted a link to here is a quote from this one.

In a formal statement, McCarthy said King's comments were "beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America. His comments call into question whether he will treat all Americans equally, without regard for race and ethnicity. House Republicans are clear: We are all in this together, as fellow citizens equal before God and the law. As Congressman King’s fellow citizens, let us hope and pray earnestly that this action will lead to greater reflection and ultimately change on his part.”
It was in the news so who is it that doesn't seem to be up on current events, Greger? It ain't me.

The state can never straighten the crooked timber of humanity.
