And all of those social norms took time. Took small changes. We didn’t just bring a bunch of slaves over, and one day say “nah this ain’t right.” We had a MASSIVE chain of events that led to, finally, enough people being done with it, and they started a war. We didn’t just say “hey,black people shouldn’t be forced to use different facilities”, we had a massive chain of social events that shaped our cultural landscape, making it easier for people to do the right thing.
That’s my point. It’s not just a flip of the switch and it’s done. It’s small, incremental steps that win over people slowly. Just the fact that you bring up reduction at all is more evidence for my point. You have got to start small, if you want to see it through.
If it was as simple as you make it out to be, we’d already be in a utopia.
Let me ask you this - what, exactly, do you think my argument is?
