[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 77609511, member: 326155"] You don't really understand what America was like for the Boomer and earlier generations...how absolutely pervasive segregation was throughout society. It became in many ways a completely different planet within a decade in many ways, a difference of a depth that usually takes a nation losing a war and being permanently occupied by another nation. I think everything that needs to be done by the government has been done..."the fix is in." Anything more (such as DEI) pushes the pendulum too far to the opposite direction. There is a lot of racism today among younger people that is "reactionary racism," and that's measurable just since 2000, even since 2020. The original standard of equality--not "equity"--is what the government should strive to attain. Affirmative Action is a necessity for the Boomer and earlier generations...I would say that it can expire along with the Boomer Generation. You're saying the same thing: "Largely those of the baby boomer generation turned from the racism that was institutionalized, while some as it later became clear continued with the racism in their families." Those minds won't change, but those people will die. [/QUOTE]
