Calling bullshit on this. The US has always been a genocidal settler state with nothing but contempt for the poor especially if you aren't white.
This romanticism of some bygone "better days" is also part of the problem. Those days you pine for were extremely fucked too, you just weren't there or if you were you were comfortably middle class and probably white.
