Defeatist. Some problems take decades and decades or hundreds of years to solve, like slavery. All the more reason to speak up more.

I don't see how my statement is defeatist. I'm not saying not to try. I'm asking if people care. I am also saying that I fear it will be ignored. These can be valid statements while still striving to create that change. Really, if one is serious about making that change, then it would be wise to acknowledge the issues preventing them from reaching their goal.
