I love your optimism.
But that's like "America elected a black president, so now there's no more racism".
You're not wrong-wrong, but it will take a lot more than just time. Systemic changes need to happen too.
I don't agree with your analogy.
What I said was more along the line of, "America electing a black president is a major step to eliminating racism, and it wouldn't happen overnight." I'd point out that I'm just fixing your analogy, not that I am making that statement.
Part of the systematic change requires one side to not want the complete elimination of the other.
