    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.

      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.

              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?
