First,

Quote:
Are you objecting to the idea that the Civil Rights movement accomplished anything? Are things better, worse, or exactly the same?
I'm not objecting. Things are better in some ways, and worse in others.

Quote:
Do you disagree that there are protections against racism? In your opinion they have no positive affect whatsoever?
I do not disagree that there are protections. I do believe they have a positive impact.

In one instance, you defended the unequal race structure by marginalizing it's impact on minorities, (without any actual numbers, insight, or evidence - literally, you made up this numerical value in your head), and in another, you frame your same words in a different context as to not address what I have said to you.

So I will say it again: You have said these things as evidence that race is not a significant factor.
