And no, this isn't an 'end to racism' in America. This is a step, but there's still an active group of people that think we just 'Put a

I don't think you need to be as ashamed about that as you say. After all - those racist idiots are marginalized in our society these days. They are not
taken seriously by the vast majority of people. 40 years ago, racist idiots would be respectable. Now they are seen (properly) as nutbars. They have NO real
power anymore at all.
I think we have a LOT to be proud of on that score. No shame at all.
