If and when both become ineffective, we'll finally enter a new paradigm. I thought the 1960s and 70s ushered that in, but obviously not so.
Well, for half of us, maybe it happened.
They at least forced the racism to be far more polite in the awakening. Then the first black president in Obama did well, Trump enabled racism to become openly displayed again and Black Lives Matter surfaced to institute a modern reprise of the Civil Rights Movement of the awakening. The current argument is about whether we will become even more polite. I am guessing yes.
It definitely happened. Movement was recently provoked. Unfortunately, some of it was to the old extremes.
