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

We GenXers grew up watching Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, looking up to Mr. T, and listening to Boy George on the radio. It just was what it was. Nothing seemed forced down people's throats nor did there seem to be much outrage. Somehow, people today think they invented all this

We also grew up watching reruns of Good Times, Sanford and Son, the Jeffersons and What’s Happening. We didn’t see race. Racism was dead on any relevant scale. We all coexisted and saw people for who they were…not their color…as Dr King intended.

We had to be told to see race when we were older by radicals that wanted money and special treatment. We had to be told to ignore race when we looked at our malls going to shite and areas of our town becoming ghettos. But it’s not just “race”….its black people. All others races seem to be doing okay.

This...these kids think that they invented ending racism and leading the way for gays and rainbow people..I SAY the 70's and 80's people accepted and invented androgynous stars from Mick Jagger to Prince to Boy George (muh, non-binary.. puh-lease), famous gay people everywhere from Elton John, Jody Foster, Liberace, and Truman Capote to Barry Manilow. Uber-Famous and wealthy black film, music and sports stars coming out of the woodwork..too many to count...
This Gen Z bunch just hijacked what was already a solved issue and allowed the MSM to turn it into a war over nothing.
