Boomers will defend the right of Blacks and Whites to drink at the same water fountain, but won’t defend the rights of either to have enough money to afford the trip to the water fountain.
Boomers are willing to feign tolerance and open-mindedness when the issue is an issue socially but not economically. Yes they want blacks and whites to eat at the same restaurants.
But when it comes to economic issues and poor people, suddenly they pull the ladder up.
The real problem is that all your civil rights in the world doesn’t make poor people middle class.
