Your comment makes sweeping generalizations about boomers as if they all had it easy. I want to remind people that this really only applied to a select group of specially elevated boomers. A white man could have what you say, good fucking luck if you were a Black woman though.
Even younger boomers had a decent chance of getting a job that you could raise a family with just a high school degree and older ones could be pretty successful.
Read this very carefully. Do you think this applied to Black people in 1960?
yes. do you believe all black people in 1960 were on welfare? Do you believe no black people in 1960 had decent jobs. Discrimination is about relative opportunity of the time and believe it or not they do not have it better now. Heck we are losing much of what came out of the 60’s.
no but segregation now is worse. do you think it ended and do you think its better with more pollution because your going to be surprised how segregation works?
Yes, many forms of racist oppression have either stayed the same or gotten worse, particularly the prison industrial complex and with police killings just replacing lynchings.
But are you telling me that Black boomers had it easy under segregation and Jim Crow?
Lol of course not, so I’ll repeat myself and say it’s funny how this never comes up in the “death to America” and “such and such is the West’s fault” of the other hexbear posts you comment in. I know you’re being a contrarian teenager right, but that’s the kind of stuff that makes hexbear posters look dumb.
This thread is a circle jerk about how boomers had it easy. I just wanted to remind people that it was only the white ones that had it easy, and in particular, the able-bodied straight Christian men.
Not all boomers are white.
this is true. not sure what it has to do with my comment but true.

Not all white men. I specifically pointed out its not the case with all individuals.
Only white men, though. They, as a cohort, definitely had it easy like no one else. Particularly straight able-bodied Christians.
not true. as a matter of fact creating a black upper class was a key strategy to break the direction and unity of the civil rights movement.
That could apply to individuals, like you said, but you can’t apply it broadly like you can apply privileges to white men.
Furthermore, they’re doing the same thing today so that literally hasn’t even changed.
But defeating the civil rights movement was more about killing off the leaders.
That’s hilarious, do you also say that with your “death to America” hexbear buddies?

I believe that Black boomers didn’t have everything handed to them like white boomers, among other oppressed groups.
Times are easy or hard depending on who you are and your place in class society.
I never said boomers had everything handed to them. In a nutshell I said times were overall easier and have been getting worse since.
Times were not overall easier for everyone under segregation. You’re just looking at history through a white lens.

I have no idea what you’re even trying to say.
