advances (as well as follies) in civil rights were tremendous stressors on American civilization that Proto-Hippies successfully exploited for a time,

Like it or not the proto hippies ended the Civil War.

I remember "colored only" water fountains in the South. I remember being offended by them.

The exploitation did not come until the 80s.

BTW it is the boomers (as "hackers") who built the wonderful computer/communications infrastructure we now enjoy.

BTW your real problem is not with boomers per se. It is with those who didn't wake up. As opposed to the neo-cons etc. who did.
