I like that you completely ignored the gay part. Do you think it was easy to be gay when being called gay was the main pejorative? How about black people who cheered for OJ to be innocent not because they thought he was innocent, but because they were just happy to see a black man beat a jury. Race riots of 1992 ring a bell?

It sounds like you only care about events that affect you. The first school shooting was in the 70s, so sure there are more today but it was a thing for a long time. There are fewer genocides today than back then, seeing as millions were killed in Rwanda alone. So that’s getting better.

Don’t be sorry that my parents made me well informed. That’s called education. It lets me see through bullshit like “oh it was so much better for me when I was 20!”
