Treatment of marginalized groups is worse now than in the past? Could maybe be argued if you intend some time-span bound (e.g: "worse now than it has been within my lifetime"), but even still I think this thinking is falling into a couple of traps already pointed out in the article, like treating the truth as "there on the street in the sun waiting to be observed by anyone who glances in its general direction" and therefore that anyone who does not see it must be oblivious.
