15. No, I said what you said sounded like those old bullshit fables.

In no way where you contrasted with Reagan other than your statement.

Even in a relatively new species like humans, 500 years is not even in the ballpark of as long as people have been around.

I'll also go out on a limb and say racism predates agriculture much less capitalism, if the economic system is too set in and old then what hope by the same logic do we have to make the great stain right?

It is fine for one to not want to address the economic system for any number of reason but it's too old is not on my acceptable list. We better hope we can correct some old and nasty stuff or most likely as a race we die in the crib if not actually in the womb.

The only difference between yesterday and tomorrow is today we are accountable, we hold the strings and tomorrow is what we weave onto the tapestry now.
