dwrpers have died or had family/friends die of covid, to say nothing of those who won the long covid lottery and had their health ruined, but go off about how white boomers were personally inconvenienced by the civil rights movement

boomers died of covid more than millennials because they're old and take shit care of themselves, and boomers were literally the ones marching

holy shit i know millennials think history started in 2012 but i am begging you to read books

anon, that last one makes it sound like boomers were collectively in favor of the civil rights movement, which is hilariously incorrect on an extremely wide level.

the civil rights movement happened when most baby boomers were in high school you actual illiterate

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

there's literal photo evidence of those same high-school boomers publicly jeering and screaming at black students being allowed to attend their schools after the civil rights act was signed, nimrod

young =/= progressive and forward-thinking

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

yeah hey question what generation were the students being jeered at

i'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but as others have pointed out, it's a bad one.

historically speaking, the vast majority of white people, young *or* old, were basically afraid of the civil rights movement, if not actually angry about it. this isn't even a difficult thing to find statistics for.

just on a statistical level, yes, the majority of baby boomers were not supportive of the movement.

yeah living through an actual pandemic and the impacts of flooding/extreme weather from climate change and a collapsing economy, not to mention political oppression, is exactly the same as white privileged boomer families watching the news

i love that you think boomers just emerged from some gaping chasm in the earth as rich, entitled elderly people with bad hair and summer cottages

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

right so by that logic you're not living through anything that's happening in the world right now either then

the cuban missile crisis, the bay of pigs invasion, duck and cover drills at school, the kent state shooting...definitely no one who was alive at the time lived through any of those unless they were physically there on site, huh?
