    As opposed to the past where black people where treated as livestock?

    Whatever bad thing is going in your life, it used to be worse.

      Just because things were worse in the past and marginally better now doesn’t detract from the shittiness of today. And there are quite a few people trying to reimplement the policies of that time period.

      Things being worse before is not justification for not progressing to something better.

        how can things be worse before if we didn’t progress? how can you say the future will not be better?

          To quote myself: “And there are quite a few people trying to reimplement the policies of that time period.”

            always have been, it’s literally conservatism vs progressivism, eternal battle, you are not saying anything smart here, there are also people trying to implement policies that bring progress.
