The vehicles of that era had a very unique styling to them. I could watch this for ages without losing interest.

[@DodgerFloof]

It's weird to think that people in the future will look at our cars the same way.

[@rebelliousredneckvlogs]

​@DodgerFloof I respectfully disagfee. Objectively speaking, our current crop of automobiles are vastly less appealing, and a far lower percentage will be restored. We are already seeing this with the masses of cars from the 80s and 90s being crushed without care. Much like post modernist architecture

I just travelled in a time machine to the 1930s. Unbelievable quality in this video!!

It's so cool seeing the battery in Charleston and knowing exactly what it looks like beyond the camera, the scenery has barely changed in Charleston.

I don't think Charleston ever changed 😅 I've heard 80 year olds say that Charleston was literally he same when they were there in their teens.

I had to pause at 4:45 because found it to be such a striking image with the young girl in the window standing in front of the "For Colored Only" sign. The look on her face makes me wonder what she's thinking. Also, I feel that her face being half in the sunlight and half in the dark just makes the image all the more profound.

[@petebeatminister]

Nicely done! Especially the sound is not so ott this time. What surprised me is the writing on the window of the Booker-T diner at 4:42 - "For Colored Only". I always believed it would be like "For White Only", meaning colored people were not allowed in. So does this sign mean that white people are not allowed in that place? I mean, apart of getting strange looks and all - were they actually allowed to kick you out as a white? That seems like a weird kind of racism, that somehow backfires.

[@lizma1956]

It was the case in Apartheid South Africa. We, as whites, were not allowed to enter or sit where "coloureds only" signs were and visa versa. Both parties could get into trouble.

[@petebeatminister]

@@lizma1956 Well, thats weird. One always thinks of apartheid as repression on black people - not as restictions that are valid for white people.

[@lizma1956]

@@petebeatminister oh no restrictions worked both ways. I can clearly remember that when whites drove their workers to the bus stop or train station, the workers were not allowed to sit in front. The whites would get pulled off and got into trouble. The idea was to keep the cultures separate so that each culture could develop on it's own, that's why we were not allowed to mix.

[@unidentifiedobjects]

Black people clearly weren’t allowed in certain white spaces so they needed spaces where they could exist in peace without harassment from white people. Allowing white people in these spaces would set them up for possible violence. This is the problem. White people always feel like they need to be allowed in others spaces but are quick to not allow others in theirs. There is no reverse racism here. Stop.

[@corvidcapers]

​@@petebeatminister it makes sense if you think about the goal of segregation/apartheid - to keep people separate. If white people choose to interact with colored people by entering colored spaces - eating at colored diners, buying homes in colored neighborhoods, hiring colored people at their businesses - that creates spaces where all races are able to go. That's why whites had to be kept away from colored spaces. If they didn't keep away from colored people, segregation would would have fallen apart much sooner in both countries.
