I think some people in this age group are simply viewing the world through a prejudice-laden paradigm that was instilled in them. They have been inculturated with racism, sexism, ‘white is right’ and many other ‘hates.’ They see the world and know that ‘the world as they know it’ is dying. Can you imagine the fear they have when they view all the multiculturalism that exists today? They see this as a Doomsday-type phenomena. They are ‘shocked and shaken’ at what we now accept in sociey. I don’t believe it has anything to do with sexual repression. After all, these people did create the number of children associated with ‘baby boomers’. I agree this anger is not just a manifestation of age-related problems. I would like to think that some of these people are upset by their own reality of exposure to truth. Hate is a common response to something you don’t want to accept. It would also be hard to admit that your way of doing or thinking was wrong. It is again common to simply ‘get mad’ over it. College has taught me there is a ‘white’ reality that has nothing to do with the truth. I am sure you have had exposure to the truth as well. These people are just seeing the results without benefit of knowledge concerning multicultural people. My dad was 76 when he died, and he died with the idea that whites were superior biologically to blacks. It was his culture, and he was mad all the way to the grave about any arguments about it.
