| o_O.Q said: are we past the year 2000 now or did we take a time machine back to the 1900s? well if not why are we going back to the 1900s to justify absurd positions now?
" you're arguing against an SJW strawman" ok.. but talking about the early 1900s to justify racism and sexism perpetuated by people claiming to fight racism and sexism isn't a strawman? ok |
I'm going back to the 1900s and even earlier to justify the point that the United States was made in the image of white men. The passage of the 19th ammendment didn't undo the civilization that was built in the 100 preceding years.
The passage of Voting Rights Act of 1965 didn't give blacks and other minorities the 189 years of agency that they missed out on when it came to the direction of the country.
The Fair Housing Act of 1968 didn't go back and restore the wealth accumulation missed out on by black families because of fundamentally unfair lending practices.
The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 didn't go back and restore lost years for people who languished in jail due racial bias in the judiciary.
Again, good talk, but honestly I'm putting more into this conversation than I'm getting out of it.
