"that's interesting.... justifying using racism and sexism to progress to a state of equality"
It's not racist or sexist to point out that white men have held power in America and have legislated on their own behalf. It's a verifiable fact. Non-whites couldn't vote nationally for nearly the first 100 years. Women couldn't vote until the early 1900s. Non-white voting was supressed in certain parts of the country up to and after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The FHA directed more housing dollars into white neighborhoods than it did to black neighborhoods.
These things happened. Learning about them, acknowledging them, and examining the impact they still have today isn't racism.
I appreciate the conversation but I feel like at this point, you're arguing against an SJW strawman and it's probably not productive for me to stick up for them.
Good stuff though.
