A few cherry-picked, isolated examples of staged hate crimes don't disprove the point that antiblack racism is deeply embedded into US history and culture, including the present. One needn't look further than the attempts of numerous state legislatures to ban the teaching of black history, or even worse, to try and revise it. (Teaching students that black slaves "learned valuable skills" while enslaved is one recent example.) The fact that black people can now play in the MLB, or sit anywhere they want to on a bus does not negate the rise in antiblack racism that we've seen over the last 10 to 15 years. It's almost as if something was going on from 2008 to 2016 that contributed to this, but I can't put my finger on what that was...

You're simply regurgitating everything you've been told by your favorite political party and their funded news stations. Ever have any thoughts of your own, ever have a questioning attitude, ever do any critical thinking, ever do any research outside of what is spewed to you as fact by them? No, of course you don't, because I think those things escape you.

It's a talking point because it forces Americans to confront their identity as a country. Can you be the home of the free and the brave if the Civil Rights act needs to be passed to guarantee freedoms? Can your declaration of independence, and a declaration that all men are created equal, reflect reality if a large portion of your population does not have equal rights?
Then there's World Wars 1 and 2, where large portions of the population fought for ideas of freedom and against tyranny only to return to a country where they weren't allowed to drink out of a water fountain, for example. It gets talked about a lot because for a long time it wasn't talked about at all. |

The Civil Rights Act is only 60 years old. That's one generation ago. I personally don't believe that you can resolve something like inequality in a single generation. And I do think it's a topic that we should continue to confront as a country.

I completely agree with you. I'm quite sure we're in the minority around here, though.

I'm curious if any other country needed an "AcT" to stop slavery. The US of course being one of the newest countries

Actually 60 years is considered 2 to 3 generations. A generation is considered 20-30 years by most.
