    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, racist oppression has 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?

            Jim crow. The last of them were overturned in 65. They started in the millenia before. Thats actualy a good example of how things where improving in general for them compared to the generations after.

              You realize that also means they got to suffer until those improvements happened? And then, of course, ending Jim Crow didn’t really fix everything. For Black boomers things got a little better for a while and then got worse again.

                so it would be better to suffer and not to improve. As bad as jim crow was getting out of it was a good thing and going back to it is not a good thing.

                  Zero clue how you got this from my comment??? Ending Jim Crow was good, but claiming that Black boomers had it easy is fucked.

                    they did not have it easy they just lived in a better time when things were getting better. Right now we are coasting on things from that period and before and much has been reveresed.
