I think we tried that already back in the 1800s-1970s. What’s your opinion on the laxity of government oversight on hiring practices from those eras?

I think I've been pretty clear on that point but I'm happy to restate that I think your instance that views on race haven't changed at all since the Civil War is embarrassingly ignorant.

I see absolutely nothing at all that makes me believe Tim Cook, Doug McMillon, Ed Decker, and other CEOs are just waiting for this legislation to be lifted so they can put big "whites only" signs over their businesses and that your belief that they are is nothing short of a delusion.

I don’t believe that people only progress in one, morally superior direction and I don’t find that delusional at all. I’m surprised that modern humans find current views on equality and merit to be inherent rather than earned and cultivated.  You also kinda side-stepped my question there.

I didn't sidestep your question at all.

You can argue that there has been no change in views on race since the Civil War until your blue in the face. You're just wrong.
