I think you're pretending that you didn't because that's how you get weird jollies but whatever, I'm done with that We've made such tremendous strides in the last 50 years especially that we have to manufacture "Racism" now and assign it even when it's not there It's encouraging that we have made those strides IMHO MikeM58 and PCstriper 2 A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. – William James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the past, there is hardly any racism left. Can we get better? Sure. Are we exponentially better today than we were in the past? Without a doubt.

Heron25 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I can't wait for all the 20-30 year old woke judges to have kids that are going to be raised by them and call them racists/nazis/fascists/etc. in about 30 years because of their beliefs today.

Heron25 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 One of my black buddies, dean of engineering at a university, made an interesting point. He's Caribbean black- he said if the USA was still so racist, how would the BLM rioters have been treated in 1930 or 1960 vs. 2020?

saltydawg Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 The work we do from here out is harder than it was in the past because we have tackled a lot of the low-hanging fruit already. Beyond changing attitudes, we have political and legal hurdles that still have to be addressed. The continued disenfranchisement of American Indians is a prime example.
