   After the gay marriage fold, they thought they could get away with anything.

     Stancil being mad that civil rights is under question now have no idea what it will look like when "affirmative action" is treated with the same scorn that "DEI" is

     I think those concepts were always treated that way by anyone who isn't a "keeping up with the Jones" boomer

     @pepsi_man I think so yes, but "affinitive action" hasn't seemed to get the massive negative reaction on a huge scale that "DEI" has seemed to.
     
     It seems like from what I've read, the forced busing is where people fought, and once that was broken, everything else was whimpers

     @pepsi_man yes, I think "lack of exposure" was a large point. Many people had no experience with blacks at all, and so could be very easily swayed to "they're just like you - give them a chance"

     I wonder if it was lack of exposure? Back then there was no Twitter to show you HD videos of chimpouts.
     
     I will give Trump props for making this an issue that lefties have to re-litigate. That definitely swings in our favor.

     @sickburnbro I think activists genuinely lose sight of the fact that the leadership and the plebs are often not on the same page.
