How long has it taken to completely integrate schools, following the rulings in 1971? (Well, I still have a bit of math left in my brain, so I know) It’s been nigh 50 years. And has it worked? More than you might think, but less than we had hoped… and of course the courts have turned it off recently.
So, how long will it take to “fix” racist cops? I’m guessing I won’t live to see it, or even very much of it. But one more thing to also know: My (white) grandson in engaged to a wonderful, energetic, buoyant woman whose father’s black… and we couldn’t be happier for him (or her). Something that my parents and their sibs would have been totally unable to accept.
