That's a bigoted and narrow view which ignores the fact that systematically oppressed people had to fight for every inch of progress in a struggle that continues presently. You are suggesting that the struggle for equality has been shared by the oppressors when in fact it is conservative mouthbreathers like you who have resisted it at every turn and in many ways still argue for return to antiquated policy.
I understand if you're too afraid to debate with me and just dismiss my comments by calling me UncleBuck's follower. People who lack intelligence such as yourself rarely have courage.
Sir/madam, I lack neither intelligence or courage. But that's neither here nor there.
I NEVER stated, expressly or otherwise, that racial progress in the last 30 years was achieved easily, or without blood shed. I simply stated that progress has been made. And it has.
I remember "White Only" signs above water fountains in Sears stores.
I remember bussed school integration in the 1970s.
Progress has been made. Is there still a long way to go? Yes, there is. But progress has definitely been made in my lifetime.
And to deny it is a slap in the face to all of us conservative white people who want to try and be part of the solution. And yes, there ARE conservative white people who want to be part of the solution.
