@A_Minion@mastodon.social @redsad@ohai.social you're talking about what you had access to as though everyone else did too. Women, native Americans, & Black people couldn't even vote during most of the period you're talking about, & were denied access elsewhere too (from credit cards & loans to public & private spaces).
Yes things improved, but it's not like Congress was willingly doing so. People had to fight & die for those improvements you're uncritically crediting Congress for.

@vex@kolektiva.social @redsad@ohai.social And Those battles were being fought. If you notice I'm not advocating for all of then. Yes people had to fight for a number of those things. But we were in the process. I'm well aware of what wrongs. If you compare those wrongs to those from WWII back . . Civil Rights, do you know about the sitin's, Rosa Parks, MLK, Malcolm X. How do you think women's right to abortion came about. Under God & In God We Trust were added in the '56. next
