    I love your optimism.

    But that’s like “America elected a black president, so now there’s no more racism”.

    You’re not wrong-wrong, but it will take a lot more than just time. Systemic changes need to happen too.

      I don’t agree with your analogy.

      What I said was more along the line of, “America electing a black president is a major step to eliminating racism, and it wouldn’t happen overnight.” I’d point out that I’m just fixing your analogy, not that I am making that statement.

      Part of the systematic change requires one side to not want the complete elimination of the other.
