    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?

            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.
