The civil rights act is from 1964, so even shorter time than the picture shows.
And after that, VRA, loving vs Virginia, fair housing act. Ending segregation was a gradual process that, by many metrics, still isn’t complete, but any date before 1964 or 1968 is a big fat lie.
Yeah without the fair housing act in 68, Trump wouldn't have been sued in 73 for discrimination by the DOJ.
Its worse than that slavery against native Americans was earlier even if we only count territory that would be in the united states eventually and only by Europeans and their descendants, and the last person sold as a slave and the "owner" not being sentenced to life without parole was in world war 2.
