Millennials couldn’t talk yet, but the streets sure did.

    1. As a german I can say the overall 90s pop culture propaganda made even us europeans truely believe, the US had overcome its hateful racist past 

    2. Now I aint no professional. But i’m pretty sure you don’t need to talk to be violent.

      Dare I say talking is usually whats done to prevent violence.

      I dunno. But mayby trying to smother & silence a whole bunch of students (now adults) wasn’t the right play. I mean, its not as if that age-group is the most likely to start a revolution or anything

      Tbf compare to the late sixties and early twenties. Having just one massive riot caused by racial injustice is pretty impressive.

    4. I’m a millennial, and I was definitely able to talk during the 90’s. Who the hell is coming up with this malarkey?

      I mean, if no one around you is saying anything about all the rampant racism, you might think that nothing is racist and everything is peaceful.

      I think that there’s actually a pretty important observation about millennials and boomers in here. Just not the one this guy thinks there is.

      Coexisted peacefully? 90s? You mean the unquestionable peak of literally all crime in the US? That peace?

      As an outsider I always found odd people saying “this is the black neighbourhood” or “this is the latino street” in American movies. Did all these people from the same race just decided to live in the same block? But then I found out they had institutionalized racial segregation until the second half of past century and it all made sense. “Coexisting peacefully”

    9. Millenials were all still children. Gen X were the ones who truly lived through the race riots of LA.
