When I was in school I was friends with most of the black folks. There was never an issue of race and it was never brought up . We didn't know anything about racism because it was never brought up. The Liberals and the Democratic media are what's creating all this divide. Trump 2024

Yep! Brother now in late 40’s a few years ago met this guy at the bar from back in the day. his click and their click always fought at the club. They had a beer together. Dude asked what were we fighting about back then. Brother said I have no fucking clue. Only thing that happen to them back then was a few stitches, busted head or black eye. No one ever went to a funeral. You knuckled up, either give ass whopping or take one. Can’t do that shit today. Dudes are afraid of an ass whooping. Would rather spend their life in prison than lose a fight.

Beautiful time to be alive.

The generation that was around during WWII are and will always be the greatest generation ever. The men and women of that era were tough as nails. My Grandfather was a WWII vet and he was one tough old dude when I was a kid. He was such a badass, if he drank a pot of boiling water he would piss ice cubes. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the men that weren’t drafted first voluntarily enlisted in the military, while the women worked in the factories churning out military equipment to defeat Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan. there will ever be another generation to have that kind of gumption and love for this great country of ours. This new generation is so brainwashed, most of them want to see our country destroyed. Ship them all to a communist country for a year and then see if they change their views.

As a Gen-X guy from the UK, I 100% agree with the gentleman's experiences of his youth. I went to several high schools and had friends from many, many different backgrounds, was welcomed into their homes and they were likewise welcomed into my own. My parents as boomers believed in the ideas of MLK and to be racist was seen as bad and unkind, as a result, we weren't anti-racist, we were tolerant and sought to be open to making friends with folks of all backgrounds - hell, it was a pretty boring existence if you didn't! We were also thicker skinned, less prone to take offence like generations that followed us and crucially we were more open to risk taking and being outside - you know, where the world and other people are. For non-Gen Xers, the best image to describe our youths, was of 2 young kids cycling on a busy main road with lots of cars, 1 kid cycling and his friend hitching a ride on the back, no helmets, not lights and no high vis jackets - just freedom and adventure.

Part of the general pattern of neglect that we received from our Boomer parents meant that we were able to just hang out with other kids and be natural human beings together - and they forgot to tell us that we needed to hate each other because we were different. Now a lot of that had to do with the small farming town that I grew up in, too .. but imagine my surprise when I came to a big city, and found out that I was hated on account of my skin color! Morgan Freeman has it right: As soon as people stop making ethnicity an issue, it stops being an issue.

If we came in the house crying because so and so hit us or so and so called us a bad name? Our mamas didn’t care that that happened! They wanted to know two things: you want me to beat your ass if you stay in this house and did you fight back? Hundred percent guaranteed you was gonna get your ass whipped by staying in the house AND your ass whipped when your daddy got home cause you ain’t stand up for yourself OR elected to stay inside AND they was gonna send you outside to do that shit again until you stood up for yourself. I’m a girl, 1978 born and raised, and let me tell you both my mama and my daddy used to tell me if I threw the first punch? I was getting my ass whipped when I got home. But if someone else threw the first punch and I didn’t stand up for myself? I was getting my ass whipped AND put on punishment when I got home! My daddy used to say to me all the time “I didn’t raise no bully, but I sure as shit ain’t no pussy.”

Preach! We didn’t have play dates and mommy and me dates and dates with moms and the kids! We went around the neighborhood knocked on doors and found out who was at home and not on punishment and thus could come out and play. Once we got together, we the children decided what we was gonna do based on what WE wanted to do. Who has a bike? well I got a bike but you just got a skateboard so that’s a’ight you hang onto the back of my bike- we gonna go over here and play in the woods. We gonna play stick ball or basketball or street hockey out in the middle street. Or we gonna go to the vacant lot and play. We didn’t have parents making our decisions FOR us. We learned from a young age to be able to make decisions and troubleshoot and come to conclusions and decisions together without adult intervention. We didn’t get butt hurt about stuff! As a matter of fact, if you were a sensitive child? Woe be onto you because you were an outcast just for being sensitive. We could be enemies one day and best friends the next. But universally? The neighborhood had each other’s back. It didn’t matter whether you was white, black, brown, red or yellow (or as my granny used to say purple with pink polkadots)- we were all in this together!

1981, and boy am I glad I was born when I was. Hell, I wish could go back and do it again. My nephew couldn't believe some of the stuff my wife and her sister and myself were telling him about growing up when we did. I feel bad for his generation because they will never experience things like we did.

Yes, exactly! Gen X was the last generation of kids who grew up just having fun. We didn't have hate wars, we had neighborhood baseball games, bike rides to the park, later we'd all ride bikes to the arcade.

He speaks the truth, hell I remember playing street hockey and tearing myself up good, finished that game, found out my knees were chunky salsa got those cleaned up and bandaged went back to playing. How many of today's kids would do that including do it yourself first aid while playing through with any amount of pain.
