To be fair, some older people will NEVER change their ways. That's what she's mainly getting at: that these people are hopeless and will continue to be bigots.

AFAIK, people jumped on the train over a speech she gave recently, but she herself never confirmed she was going to run.

So what. The older generation and its more antiquated views dying off is what's making way for more modern ideals. She also didn't say they should all just die. Lots of click bait titles today on CE

here is the thing, many of the older people today were hippies in their youth. people tend to get more conservative as they get older. if you don't think that modern youths will turn conservative in their old age, you are ignorant. killing off old people doesn't solve anything. there will always be old people and they will always be more conservative than their children or grand children

What are you saying she's saying? Because it does sound like that, that the people in the older generation who had a bigoted upbringing should die. It's quite an..extreme, thing to say.

Everything in this post is complete bullshit. You are so far flung from reality you have no clue about the real world. Hippies were always a fringe movement so pretending that many of the older people were them is just utter nonsense

People also don't get conservative as they get older. Everyone that says this cites how baby boomers were more conservative which is correct because conservatism was simply more prevalent in those days. Stop posting on things you have no clue about

It's largely just that over time everything slowly moves to the left so older views end up being more right wing then before.

The US however has been doing the opposite lately with the normal right wing party going further right and the left wing party following them, because they refuse to stand up for their beliefs. Simply put in the US there is no real left wing party to represent the people.

Sorry fuckboy, nobody went form being a "hippie" to wanting genocide, lynching, etc. The most racist people were racist from a very young age. Just like James Harris Jackson admitted, he was a racist shit stain since he was a toddler.

You legit have the reading comprehension of a child. Which is normal on CE for some reason.

There is a massive difference between "old people should die" and "Racism dies out with the generations of people raised in it"

She didnt say that at all. The quote was " there is generations of older people who were raised in it bred in it. Those people just need to die."

What you're claiming she said is just a general statement about racism and not about actual people.

It's not reading comprehension, it's listening. It's a video interview. Quote: ""There's a whole generation of people--older people--who are born and bred and marinated in it. In that prejudice and racism. And they just have to die.""
