well yeah and your taking the 60’s and its not like it would be better to be black in the 50’s. What im trying to say is things basically improved until we started periodically regressing in the 80’s and beyond. It was like two steps forward one step back and became one step forward two steps back and you can’t broadly apply it to white men either but im not talking about people im talking about the time periods and living in one to the other. If you go back to the OP its about getting criticized by the older generation and responding with their own failings. Which existed. I mean the boomer claim to fame is basically the hippie erra. yuppie and beyond was not great but the hippie era was a direct result of the draft. There were some earnest individuals trying to stop pollution and improve human rights but there was also some who just did not want to get killed and enjoyed the drugs.
not true. as a matter of fact creating a black upper class was a key strategy to break the direction and unity of the civil rights movement.
That could apply to individuals, like you said, but you can’t apply it broadly like you can apply privileges to white men.
Furthermore, they’re doing the same thing today so that literally hasn’t even changed.
But defeating the civil rights movement was more about killing off the leaders.
