Your first post in this thread was you can't blame gen x for anything because your numbers are low.

Never thought about Gen X's role in the current state of Black America till this thread. Y'all nikkas are arguably WORSE than the Black Boomers
One of the major damages you all did was the development of the anti-education mentality that exist in the community till this day. Talking about "you don't want to know the white man's education" while you promoted self-centeredness like selling crack to broken people just so you could push a Range Rover or a Benz, while having dreams of becoming Nino Brown or Tony Montana in REAL LIFE.

At least the Boomers can be exempted for going through Jim Crow and having those mental scars to deal with. They still promoted more righteousness than the Gen-Xers ever did. Black Gen-X basically embraced ALL the negativity about black people and started telling everyone that that negativity is blackness, even to the point of enforcement and shaming those who didn't want to go along with it. Gen-X was robbing and killing brehs for Starter Jackets and Jordans back in the 90s . I gotta stop. Not trying to hurt in Gen-X brehs feelings in here. Just really thinking about this a realizing that they were supposed to be a transitional generation to a new and better mindset, only for them to promote and tattoo the negativity in our community as our general identity . Plays out to this VERY day

I’m strictly speaking on Black Boomers. My parents are barely ahead of where there parents were at the age they’re at now. My folks are MS Delta born and raised. It took a lot for my mom to move tf up outta there 20 yrs ago. My pops decided he didn’t want that life early on and left. He did everything that a lot of his gen believed would get them ahead of the game only for it to not work out like that. And a lot of it wasn’t their fault so no, Boomers, specifically Black ones didn’t have a great economy to get money when the little they were getting, they were sending it back home to take care of the folks who didn’t have any chances. If it ain’t generational shyt, it’s gender, or classism. Don’t y’all ever get tired of these petty ass arguments?

Edit: my peoples are late stage Boomers. What is this great economy they were born in? The 70s? Reaganomics?

If your parents were born In the 70’s they are Gen X.

There’s no debate - no boomers were born in the 70’s.

As a GenXer born in 1970, I am here to represent the X committee and state emphatically and succintly that...

My folks are children of the civil rights era (pre CRA64 or VRA65). They’re Boomers

I must be of a different class for real - no hate but most of the black boomers I know are doing ok.

Boomers are 1946-1964. But location depends on a lot. My peoples were the ones who decided to tough it out and not go up North. It took my old man joining the military for him to leave the south.

Definitely

And I’m talking from colleagues, to family to my frat to other people I know from Church etc most are doing ok

These are all college educated people

Not everyone had the same opportunities for sure that’s why it’s dangerous to paint with a broad brush like we’re doing in this thread

Gen X raised these Gen Z bums

Im Gen X ,,, and yes Gen X and the late generation of boomers was the beginning of the end for black folks and millennials and the rest has put us in a coma

Look how the family structure and kids out of wedlock numbers skyrocketed

if anything gen X black folks got comfortable with your white collar jobs because it paid more money but stopped pushing for real change and putting our necks on these cacs in the late 80s and 90s. Now we got brehs were they only hope is Amazon or a call center manager if your lucky so I don't see why they would be immune form the smoke.

Stop making sense.
