Correction. It's the boomers within the POLITICAL CLASS, the so called "experts" who pushed the hatred of whites. The middle class boomers aren't full of white guilt.
That’s why I used the word “Generation”. No prior generation of people, in the 250 or so prior generations throughout recorded history, ever got themselves into a position to Exterminate their own people, and went forward to do just that.
The people with the power to effect change--political leaders, business leaders, people influential in the media and entertainment--numbered tens of thousands.
The rest of the boomers were just along for the ride.
In academia, the very oldest boomers along with those born in the late 1930s or during WWII had a big advantage--they were in a position to get academic jobs when universities were expanding during the 1960s. By 1970 or so the job market dried up and from then on getting an academic position was much harder than in the 1960s.
Plus boomers born to a rich or upper middle class family had a much different experience than first-generation college students or those who never went to college.
