Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Real photo info: A depressingly recent, albeit very small Klan rally. More info here: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/kkk-child-black-state-trooper-1992/

That black cop is looking especially unhappy.

This is one of the sadest photos I've ever seen.

It's also optimistic, because, like the title, people aren't born racists.
