    Well it is.
    They are called boomers now and blamed for everything despite of the things they did.

      While the movement is piece of the past, I would argue that the fight for equal rights continues to this day.

      What you said thought doesn’t add up to my knowledge though — Civil Rights was fought for roughly from 1950-1960s. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964 when Boomers were turning 18 and the last year of their generation. This would mean that the people in the streets protesting and/or voting weren’t boomers but the silent generation and their parents.

        That is indeed your limited knowledge.
        If you want to cherrypick one thing (1964).
        There was still a lot to do and done after that.
        Vietnam after that for one.
        Black Panters didn’t even exist.

        Also, ‘the fight for equal rights continues to this day’

        It should but it doesn’t really.
        A lot of complaining and embarrassingly weak and lame stuff.
        Looks like the regime won and the population has been pacified.

          If you’re going to troll from overseas you aught to work on your English a bit. I’d suggest reading up on your American history too but it’s pretty clear that’s not super important to whatever message it is you think you’re sending.

            That is typical level of petty I expect from a butthurt american.
            My English is fine, especially compared to the embarrassing literacy level of that banana republic.
            So you can quit being pretentious.
            And writing facts is not trolling.
            Instead of your baseless accusations you might have offered some yourself.
            I probably know more than americans about their own awful history, which they don’t learn about in their backward and propagandized schools.
            So do you have anything of substance to add or is pathetic slander all you have?

              My English is fine,

              So you’re saying you sound like a crazy person without a single coherent thought because you intend to sound crazy and incoherent?

      But the boomers to this day continue to vote for corrupt governments and fall for such blatant government lies and deception

        25 -29 only had a 10% difference for Copmala.
        Everyone older was equal or pro Orange.
        But if it makes you feel better about your ageism towards a generation that actually fought for something while current generations are an embarrassment, go ahead.
        I don’t live in the US shithole so IDC.
        In fact, if they’re dumb enough to fall for divide and conquer tricks and not direct their anger at the guilty ones you deserve what you get and I’m glad that cancer country is going to shit…

          “copmala” is not catchy at all, you should drop that from your vocabulary

          “Skamala” maybe.

            No thanks, it’s not about being catchy.
            I suppose it implies scamming: an illegal way of making money, usually by tricking people?
            That would be most politicians.
            And it’s much too innocent.
            Copmala refers to her awful history, It may get some ignorant and oblivious americans to look up what that name is about.
