Ageism. It's real and it hurts. When you say boomer I feel like my many black friends must feel when they hear the n word. It harkens me back to when boomer was a good thing. Remember that? My black friends call it the Jim Crow era. They lynched boomers and separate but equal was anything but equal. The law forced people to be accountable to discrimination but being rich white politically connected meant that my plight could only be shared in the safety of our gated communities. Our pain and our struggle the n words are eerily the same.
