Don't be so sure, Yorke. My generation and the generation before that said the same thing. Don't be surprised when the bulk of your generation turn reactionary too. It's been going on since the beginning of time.

Uhhh your generation and the generation before that had ****ing segregated water fountains

My generation is welcoming all races, expanding the notion of gender identity, supporting people that want to be trans, etc

Pretty big differences I can point out in two seconds

"Slowly improve."

You don't have to blurt out the most obvious point in every discussion, you know.

It's anecdotal, of course, but I work at a school. I see kids playing together and also the older kids hanging out, seemingly across all races and cultural backgrounds. White kids, black kids, middle eastern - all treating each other as equals instead of running with their "own kind".

Um, excuse me but segregated water fountains were gone by my generation. It was the generation before mine that had them eliminated. And guess what? We were young once. We were idealistic (I'd like to think I still am- you know, like Bernie Sanders but you probably think he's a bigot too). Something happened to the majority of my generation just like it will happen to yours. It might even happen to you. Check these words twenty years from now if this forum still exists. People become more conservative as they get older. It's a fatal flaw in humankind I'm sorry to say.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. I love your idealism, Yorke, I really do. But condemning everyone for being older than you isn't going to solve the world's problems. Voting and making your voice heard will. See ya :)

Take note, YorkeDaddy! You're gonna be a racist too!

Bernie Sanders is awesome wtf you thought I didn’t like him?

Well you obviously hate everyone who's reasonable if you're one to criticize implicit racism. Be careful man, I can smell that racism that's creeping into you.

People in their forties like myself were in their teens and twenties during the heyday of De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Public Enemy, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, MC Hammer, etc. Most of us are well aware that hip hop isn’t all about violence and crime.
