    Dear California, my state, wtf are you doing? This is how it is suppose to work.

    Did the generation that did protests become the same people they hated? Maybe.

      For every white person getting arrested protesting civil rights from that generation, there was 10 spitting on Black kids for going to school.

      Boomers tried to rebrand themselves as all hippies, but they were a tiny fraction of that generation the rest openly hated and shit talked.

      The ones in power now with very very few exceptions were not on the right side of history.
