man I’m only 21 and i done seen it all the first Black president, gay marriage being legalized, I was there marching against police brutality, 9/11, the 2008 recession, smartphones, social media, the golden age of Beyonce
Actually this is so true
Our generation has seen it all. The market crashed. Politics started to spiral. Technology sped up until new innovations were churned out every day. We became more tightly linked through those innovations. We woke up to the problems in our own society. We saw the people around us take ‘safety’ to terrible extremes, and the people who were supposed to keep us safe take their power to worse ones. We saw the rise of musicians who weren’t afraid to call themselves feminists. We saw college students stand up and declare that they had the right to feel safe in their own dorm beds, and then drag around mattresses to prove it. We saw the world stand up in defense of some murdered children, but we also saw it turn a blind eye to others. We got a Black president–TWO TERMS of a Black president. And now we’ve seen the legalization of gay marriage in the US.
Not to sound too cliche, but imagine what we’ll see tomorrow.
