[quote=Anonymous]I think what is showing up on this thread is that the 90s were still pretty good for MC/UMC white folks, but the Reagan-era unraveling of the social safety net, defunding of public education, late stage capitalism, and general increased conservatism was eating away at gains realized by BIPOC and poor/working class folks. As a child of the 80s, I can remember a much better America. More diverse, more social mobility, generally more positive. But the canaries in the coal mine in the 90s were the folks whose advances were the most fragile, and it is only now that the rest of us have begun feeling the impact. [/quote]
