Arguably, no we haven’t been doing that for more than half a century now. There was a backlash after the initial push in the 1970s that clawed back a lot of gains and several places (Eg New York City) are still highly segregated in its schooling (and gotten more segregated over time).
- pdonis 6y ago> There was a backlash after the initial push in the 1970s That doesn't mean we haven't been trying to fix racism for more than half a century. It just means the "fix" hasn't been working.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoFixing racism hasn’t garnered significant traction with significant capital support for a while. Additionally, I would argue that attempting a 50 fix for systems that are multiple centuries old (and have had that much time to work their way into every part of society) seems short sighted.
