Missed connection with the 21st century
In a flashback to 1945, someone has posted the following "missed connection" on Craigslist:
Beautiful negro girl on the blue line metro - m4w - 24

Attractive negro girl on the blue line to Franconia-Springfield, you were in a car in the 2nd half of the train around 5:15pm rush hour...
But the derogatory innuendoes of yesteryear don't end here. One Craigslist user replies, "I hope he got off the metro and drove straight back to Alabama," implying that the poster is, perhaps, an ignorant "cracker." This honky says: let's get rid of the loaded words. An actual physical description of the person's skin color will do just fine.
