Subject: RE: BS: History of US radical religious right
Riginslinger, how would you propose that a society in which the government, private industry, and educational institutions had been practicing institutional racism and discrimination for many decades, might help to correct the inevitable results of such discrimination? It's not possible for that kind of broad institutional racism and discrimination to not have a debilitating effect on the discriminated population. And such institutional racism and discrimination doesn't just disappear the moment it is made illegal. It lingers for a very long time in ways that may not be easy to detect, but that continue to have a negative impact on the ability of the target group to have a level playing field with those who are not discriminated against. What remedies would you suggest for correcting this?
