And 1000:1, current/modern women still want the man to make the move as long as he's the man that they want to make the move, but they don't want to have to tell him that he's the man that they want to make the move. You're just supposed to know. I know that some guys have that 6th sense. I never had it and never had a clue. I've had situations pop into my head at random 15-20-25 years down the line where I realized, "Wow, I missed a great opportunity, and I think she thought she was practically throwing it at me."

And this "blackface" thing. While I would not call it common place, it was not unusual to see this in minstrel shows and high school plays. OK, so it is not socially acceptable today, but why crucify someone for doing something that was socially acceptable 20 or 30 or more years ago?

Exactly, things have gotten ridiculous. Were there things that should have been different? Sure. Are there folks that have said or done things that they shouldn't have that even at the time would have at least raised eye-brows? Absolutely.
But things have gotten bad. In some countries you can accuse someone that you don't like or irritates you of blasphemy and they'll be lynched. It's getting to be where in the US, you can do the same thing and the person will be socially lynched. Are there some folks that may deserve it, sure. But the current atmosphere is that everyone that is accused is assumed guilty full stop. No possibility to argue or prove otherwise. By that point, it's too late.
