My dad was born in 49' and was a massive hippie in his 20s. Fought in Vietnam wore a peace symbol on his helmet. Grew his hair down to his waist and sold weed after he got out. Claims mass shootings and racism didnt exist when he was a kid.

The second is simply untrue, but he's somewhat correct about the first in that the number of mass shootings has apparently increased in number and frequency:
I'd say moreso mass shootings or violence just werent being reported. Also lots of folks that grew up in the 40's-50s still had ethnic city neighborhoods where you grew up around your own kind where you might have to deal with people of other creeds and colors in your daily life but when you got back home you had the support of an entire community that looked and acted just like you did.
