    The teens and young 20 somethings in the 60s were the counter culture. You know, “don’t trust anyone over 30”. So they were boomers.

      Exactly, which is why the comment I was responding to…

      Most boomers spent the 60s beating the shit out of Civil Rights protestors and spitting on children because their schools were desegregated.

      …was wrong.

      Edit: to be clear, I’m not trying to say the boomers were good people! I’m just saying that the person I replied to had his timeline off because in the '60s, most of the boomers weren’t adults yet.
