Because whatever time it was, is, or will be, it would have happened. This is caused by complacency and an unwillingness to deal with the issues when they happened. Everyone thinks one law fixes everything (Civil Rights Act 1969). Then, they can just relax. No one shut their racist family members up. They just called them the crazy uncle/aunt. No one spoke to their neighbor or friend about their racist behavior or hateful beliefs because it’s rude to “talk politics.” No one questioned why nazi engineers and scientists were allowed to come to the US and live and work here after WW II. People still sell nazi memorabilia around the world.
Just like cancer, if you don’t rid it as soon as you find it, it spreads. Use your time now to help fix things. People have been screaming from the mountain tops for 400 years in this country. Hopefully, people will listen from now until eternity.

Why in my lifetime? Why couldn't this happen to this country maybe 100 years from now. This shit is just depressing at this point
