It seems like just one generation ago our country was more focused on succeeding and making money than on pointing fingers and looking for scapegoats.

No no no it existed. It just wasn't as transparent as it's becoming now. So we didn't grapple with it and are dealing with the fallout now. The AIDS crisis started in the 80s and that was a time of rampant homophobia and misinformation. So did the Crack Epidemic. That last through the 90s and is faulted with causing the destabilization of the black community as well.
bNo we're not hun
