    That’s hilarious, do you also say that with your “death to America” hexbear buddies?

      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.

          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.

                  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.

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

          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.
