There must be a third phase; which the second phase touches upon but really doesn’t address – the mind must be opened, as well.
I grew up in the South. I remember the small signs beside some business doors saying “No Colored”. I remember the separate water fountains in the movie theaters, the separate cabs.
That all gradually disappeared, the signs were removed – but the attitudes were still there – you knew the rules, the signs were just invisible…
And then the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court made the moronic statement that rules and controls weren’t needed any more because “racism” was gone.
That’s like releasing a rattlesnake in the public square because – hey- it hasn’t bit anyone RECENTLY.
Racism still exists – we have a racist in the White House – it hasn’t gone away – ignoring it is not a cure – but one thing is guaranteed – racists WILL teach their children racism. That is the way the world works
