Changes began long before 1965 and were not needed everywhereItâs an obvious fact to some but I see people on here push back against it all the time.First of all I âadmittedâ nothingYou admitted that they were created that way and stood for at least 100 years as our country developed, right? You wonât answer my other question which asked when discrimination was all removed and cleaned out of our institutions. So is it really that far out there that some of i
What I did was agree with an obvious fact
Second, I cant tell you when America erased systemic racism from the law
But certainly it was sometime during the 60 years since the major civil rights laws were passed
Ok so now we are getting somewhere. Youâre saying that our intitustions were set up and operationally racist and discriminatory from our countries inception until the 1960s when we passed civil rights laws. Mind you we didnât have a Kumbaya United moment⌠Civil rights was and remains a very contentious thing. So I think youâd agree that it is fair to say that nearly 200 years of racist institutions doesnât get cleaned up and rectified over night by the signing of laws⌠correct?
so now we are in the 60s and having a journey through implementing these changesâŚ. You donât think that qualifies or is even close to modern times?! There are certainly people still alive today who were here before the 1960s, so how in the world can you be so dismissive of this theory that seems to explain these obvious facts that you are acknowledging as truth?! You canât even name a moment when all was rectified and we even saw with Trump a criminal justice reform bill that was touted as a racial equality initiative. Wake the hell up man. It happened then and is still happening now. Why are you so against discussing it, teaching it, understanding it, and improving it?!
For instance california and the northeast did not have segregation against blacks
Truman integrated the US Army in the â40s , Brown v Board of education 1955, professional sports during the 1950âs ect
But by 1970 government was no longer discriminating against blacks
