I don't think I'd be able to get some of the meds I need to take in the 40s.

A lot of my other meds would be replaced with barbiturates and Morphine or opium too.

Probably wouldn't work out so great.

No, they are far more likely to beat and rob me of it. Or pull some legal fuckery to make me lose my money. There is no way Jim Crow America would accept a rich Black man.

I think it would largely depend on what you did with the money. Build a business people loved they just might. Hell I think it was the 50s but in my grandmothers hometown a black family started a BBQ restaurant and everyone loved them. Black community got mad when they adhered to segregating them. And their response was it was the white people that kept them in business.

Restaurant no longer exists but their BBQ sauce is still sold in stores last I recall

My father's family was well-off in the 40s. They moved to a white neighborhood and promptly moved less than four years later due to all the grief they got from white neighbors and the cops. My father's dad ended up renting the property to a less affluent white family who got along with the neighbors. Keep in mind this was Los Angeles and not somewhere rural like Bakersfield.

Then there is the famous case of Hattie McDaniel who had a cross burned on her front lawn when she moved to Beverly Hills. She got no love from the NAACP who were already cross at her for playing slaves and servants.

There's Well off then there's insanely rich. That said I don't think the money itself would be enough. You'd have to make yourself at least a local public figure. Yeah best case scenario is they'd like you for your money

Post war 1940s would be alright. If I'm the same age I am now, then even during the war I'd be too old for the draft. I'd probably invest as much as possible because the economy boomed for quite a few years.

Other than '40s women the decade has nothing that would appeal to me. Even '40s women still had bush which would be a bitter pill for me to swallow.

What event during that time could turn such a wish into a nightmare? WWII, you say?

Gorsch, I guess spending the rest of your life in 1940s-era Japan isn't all that great, what with WWII and the post-war devastation.

(And I really wish you'd understood that... WITHOUT me having to spell it out.)
