re: Gen x and how we were brought up with race and on tv

You had Prince, George Michael, Gloria Estefan, and the Jets all on the same radio station. The Cosby Show and In Living Color alongside Who's The Boss and Growing Pains.

And things became more colorblind into the 90's and 2000's - white men idolizing black bball stars, hip hop artists sampling nerdy white dudes, racism was starting to feel like a thing from the past. But something happened which created a shamelessly emboldened welfare class and intentional racial division.

Can't quite put my finger on it but it happened around 2008..
