I've never heard the phrase "overton window" before, despite this, the effects of overton windows greatly impacts every American. Moving in accordance with the window is exactly expected of lawmakers trying to win the vote of as many Americans as they can.
Democrats' support of same-sex marriage has grown 50 percentage points from 33% to 83% since 1996 — the most among political party groups.
The change in societal perceptions around same-sex marriage in the West has changed dramatically in the past decades with more public support of homosexual equality. Interestingingly, there is still stigma around same-sex marriage despite the socialization process it took to get sam-sex marriage legal across the United States.
So does that mean Blacks who were kept out of specific jobs or neighborhoods or paid less were not victims of racism? Since the whites were “more qualified?”
Proving racial ignorance is a complicated matter of whether or not the oppressors will accept their racism and biases. Jobs that are out of reach for Black folk is a textbook form of discrimination, however there's enough plausible deniability to deny the racial mistreatment. Keeping a racial group of of the job market and neighborhoods is anti-blackness with no excuse other than discrimination.
So, in other words, racism can’t be operating unless Black people are treated worse than white people who are the same in every way other than race.
The foundations of racism have a systemic system built on the disparagement of Black people, oppressing and creating anti-black ideals across races with Black people at the bottom of the food chain.
