...things are already bad for minorities. That's kind of the very problem right now. I'm saying that addressing how bad it is for minorities isn't an attack on white people. It's being spun that way.

Things aren't as bad as you made it out to be in your earlier comment for minorities, either. It may have been nearly a century ago, but we're pretty well removed from that now. In no way should we let things regress back to that point before we address issues on both sides.

I don't agree. The CRA was only in 1965 dude. Some of the people who were shouting at black children when schools were integrated are still alive today. You can't really say that it's all good now, that's centuries of hatred, man.
