Not a sham. The issue was discrimination. There is a veneer that there is no longer discrimination. Under that veneer, which includes all of the cosmetic changes we are a people who really despise one another. The cheerful black waitress is really going to spit in your soup. That nice white man calls his black neighbor a ni66er behind his back. There is black lives matter and the largest resurgence of the kkk since the 30s.It sure looks like it has. That's the veneer of change. Underneath, it's spreading and roiling hatred.Nothing has really changed. There is an illusion of a veneer of change.
What a joke. The fact you can say that things have not changed from the 60's until now in regards to discrimmination is laughable.
In the 60's women couldn't get a credit card.
There was separate but equal for blacks.
Interracial marriage was not allowed.
But yeah nothing has changed .... It's all a sham.
