Yes, there may be a point. It’s when we can purge all the systemically unjust laws that plague our country, made to treat black Americans unfairly. And when we stop hearing racist comments coming the mouths of politicians that show disrespect to people of color and women. Take this quote from a politician, Governor Johnson who was also a U.S. senator from South Carolina until 1970: “I don’t run from n*gg*rs, but I run them from me.” Holy cow! Or another quote from another U.S. Senator and Governor of SC, Strom Thurmond, an unrepentant segregationist who died in office in 2001: ““[A]ll the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, into our schools, our churches and our places of recreation and amusement.”

Until we admit publicly and openly, and demand our government do so as well, that our government was recently plagued through all of the 20th century with such adamant anti-black, anti-democracy openly “segregationists” then we can’t have equality and give up the fight for democracy for those “leaders” who are and were clearly against it. The division will remain because of the white who cling to these beliefs and the practices.
