    That’s not correct, there was a correction from the '30s to the '60s. It’s just we stopped caring in the 60s.

      Yeah there was a correction but not one big enough to not call America gilded. The civil rights movement was a step forward but not everyone took that step willingly and some harbored resentment.

      That’s what gilded means. It’s fake. Looks nice on the surface then you see the details.
