Actually no. My grandparents marched in the civil rights movements, fought oppression in the deep south of Georgia all while holding their black communal enclaves together.
You generation is of age, yet has no glaring political figures to follow behind.
And no, they aren't called echo-boomers because they are the children of baby boomers.

You don't know what you're talking about. They are called echo-boomers because of the birthrate and size.
What you are saying doesn't even make sense. People wait until 47-64 to have kids now? Even giving you a leeway of 10 years, people wait until 37-54 to have kids?
Man, this generation is 10 times more powerful and ready compared to the generation before.
It wasn't them who created a worldwide trending topic/meme getting Paula Deen outed.
Wasn't them who started a protest on Twitter that lead to the streets in NYC and LA after Trayvon.
This generation is crazy powerful and wayyyyyyy more bold than people in the 80s.
We are the entrepreneurs who will make the black community much stronger. Our knowledge of tech and social media will take us to wayyyyyy farther heights and create a social inclusion and solidarity the generation before couldn't pull together.
We are the scariest generation by far. We don't need to be black panthers because we are intellectually and technically sound enough to get things accomplished while or ancestors didn't have that same ability.
We may not fight white oppression as "hard" as people in the civil rights movement, but that's because we are too busy making our own and I think that's good. At this point I think everyone's a little hopeless on changing white people so we are doing our own thing.
Can't change other people so we are focused on changing our selves and having a fun time doing it.
