they even came of age in the 60’s for the older half. But again this was a period of improvement. civil rights got better in this time and much of it was do to boomers buat again the draft was a big reason for the hippie era. EDITED - just wanted to say generations are not complete bullshit. its like stereotypes. there is truth to them but not every individual will be like that.
many people don’t have have it easy now, including black people. Hippie was a thing, yuppie was a thing, reagan democrats were a thing, Xers not trying in the system was a thing. tic toc is a thing. these were popular among certain groups of people at certain times and define generations. there is no hard or soft cutoff is true and its all approximation and class is far more defining than anything else no matter where you feel (if you actually realize the class your in). Its not completely arbitrary though
Boomers were alive in the 50s and 60s.
To be fair, a lot of them came into maturity later in the 70s and 80s, but it’s an age range of like 20 years.
Generations are bullshit ttbh

Okay, but my point, that Black boomers didn’t have it easy, is still true.
Also generations are bullshit - they were made up by advertisers! They’re totally arbitrary.
