That doesn't mean we haven't been trying to fix racism for more than half a century. It just means the "fix" hasn't been working.

Fixing racism hasn’t garnered significant traction with significant capital support for a while. Additionally, I would argue that attempting a 50 fix for systems that are multiple centuries old (and have had that much time to work their way into every part of society) seems short sighted.
