One of the weirdest trends on modernity is this constant rose tinted glasses cycle. For example: one of the biggest tropes repeated ad hominem is “racism didn’t exist in the 90s”.
Bullshit, the 90s simply didn’t have access to the internet and was overwhelmingly dictated by the TV. The TV showed happy diversity so that’s what’s inscribed in everyone’s brains.
Let’s do a checklist of racial diversity in the 90s
-
WTC bombing
-
Rodney King riots
-
Crown heights riots
-
Million man march/ Nation of Islam
-
Largest spike of “gang violence” which was dominated by blacks and Hispanics
-
H1Bs
-
Immigration largest driver of population growth
This was a time of delusion for boomers to pretend that magic soil was real while our jobs were being primed to be shipped overseas and the rest flooded with migrants. People simply refuse to admit nothing was different because the white population at the time still was enough of a majority for “White liberalism” to control the narrative. People blame Obama but he was just the end result of race blindness gone wrong, not the progenitor.
Every decade since the sixties (at least) have had prominent race riots. The idea that there has ever been multi-ethnic, multi-cultural harmony in America is just a bald-faced lie.
And it's a lie boomers tell boomers. Sure, there are institutions that benefit. But why buy in initially? The best i can come up with is that boomers are more brainwashed than most people can appreciate.
Boomers aren't brainwashed. Their main talent is offloading the problems they create onto everyone else. They know full well what they're doing.
Actually most boomers have an amazing talent to pass the buck for everything negative to younger generations, despite raising those generations and developing the world they grew up in.
