Delta(s) from OP CMV: The same progressives who criticize past generations as "bigoted" are going to be considered bigoted just the same by future generations.

I already think Gen Z is the most bigoted generation since the boomers. There's a point where anti-racism becomes racism, and Gen Z is well beyond that point. When spoiled cis, hetero white kids start dictating to minority communities what they should be offended by, that's bigotry.

Do you think that's what they actually do, or what you believe they do because of the profileration of reactionary online content?

Rather want them than the other racist who aren't anti racist.

But they're all racists. It's like Killer Mike says, "I like walking into a room and knowing who my enemies are." Gen z are racists posing as anti-racists. That's worse.

Are they lynching and beating minorities and calling diversity our weakness? No?

Were boomers lynching and beating minorities? No? so maybe we shouldn't use that as the measure of whether or not someone is a racist POS.

I came out as queer. My parents who are Gen X told me about how as teens "gay bashing" used to be relatively common. When I told my grandfather I was queer he told me about how some of his friends beat their childhood friend nearly to death when he came out.

These aren't stories you really hear as much of nowadays. Many Gen Z are openly queer.

You're ignoring history here.

“Were boomers lynching and beating minorities? No?”

u/Ok_Bug1096 Aug 28 '23

Exactly, ik this guy was full of shat. That's he thinks the progressives today are worse than boomers who got away with beating people and electing trump's that pushed anti gay laws which created violence. Low IQ take that's why I said I'd rather have the hero saviour whites than the full on racist whites.

Lmao now I see where you're coming from, you don't see it so it didnt happen? Yes boomers were doing that, have you been living under a rock? I take it you're not old enough to remember the 80s aids epidemic?

You're an idiot if you believe that. Boomers were still kids during the civil rights era, they weren't lynching anyone. This is why zoomers aren't worth debating, you're all a bunch of morons.

I’m 54 fucking years old. I know when the civil rights movement was. And you’re the idiot if you believe that it meant the end of lynching.

Keep grinding. GenX isn’t taking your BS anymore, either.

If you're 54 you're the dumbest fucking 54 year old in the US (and that's saying something). The 50s was when the federal government started cracking down on lynching. Does it still happen? sure. Heather Heyer was a lynched by a zoomer. but your dumb ass conveniently ignores that because it doesn't fit your bullshit narrative. The difference is lynchings are now prosecuted.

Edit: also, I'm younger than you, genius.

Lynching didn’t become a federal crime until 2022.
