I'm posting this to show you what kind of brainwashing your boomer parents were exposed to when they were growing up. I'm not excusing boomers, I'm just explaining why their thinking was so messed up and why they can't understand why their children experienced problems they never did.
This was hosted by Tom Chapin, brother Harry Chapin, the same hack who had a few popular songs on the radio in the 70s like "Taxi", "WOLD", and that horrible manipulative tearjerker "Cat's in the Cradle". Fucking hippies.
The 60s and 70s were relentless in telling children that they were special, they could be anything they wanted if they just wanted it enough, that they were people TOO! and that the world was a magical place filled with fun and games, so they should just go out and GRAB IT!
I watched this crap show a couple of times in 1971 and it bored me with its preachy and condescending message. Tragically, the show lasted for five years, long enough to infect many young minds with its brainwashing.
For further annoyance, I recommend you look up a PBS show called "Zoom", which ran from 1972 to 1978, also giving young boomers a sense of self-entitlement and unwarranted self-esteem.

Well, no shit. I was talking about the education and brainwashing boomers received in their childhood. I don't think you understood the post, or even ready it properly. You don't get much meaning from articles by just scanning them. By the way, have you ever commented without insulting someone, or at least being polite? Try it some time, it might be refreshing.
Wrong faggot. Boomers agreed with this ideology and promoted it in their children with glownigger programming like the link shared by OP. This appealed to boomers and they were willing participants in the indoctrination of their children.
This is commentary only on the clip you posted. What I got from that is that you shouldn't feel like things are out of reach, that you should think about what you want to achieve and try hard to achieve them, and not be discouraged. It sounds like a great message for White kids to grow up with and we could use more of it to counter the blackpills around here.
Today the message to White kids is "know your place and don't do things that make you look better than niggers and retards." I don't think that's better at all.
The other stuff you mention and the actual content of the show I haven't seen so I can't say. Maybe you have a point on that stuff.

This was the brainwashing they permitted their children to consume.
