Every generation has to fight this over and over. It's like reinventing the fricking wheel every fifty years or so. We were well on our way in the Carter years on gettting equal treatment for everyone.

Then Reagan came in and destroyed it and they've got the jump on us now, or it seems. Did you see Will got attacked by some guy over this? There is going to be a lot of crazy the next few years.

I've argued this stuff for years and especially about the south. Sigh.
