That's okay. I didn't mean for the title post to be taken so seriously.

Understood.

I'm not talking about prejudices that would exist if laws were different. I'm talking about the impact on prejudices if the law were suddenly changed. There's a big difference there. Prejudices don't adjust overnight because of some rule. They adjust over generations because of increased understanding.

I agree with this.

If I had the power to totally overhaul not just a law, but the entire legal system and all government branches and agencies, that would be another story, but that is purely hypothetical.

It is your assumption that if the law (and other administrative bodies) was different, people would not think differently, but this is incorrect.

The laws are shaped by the culture.

Hey guys, what's the plan?

Racism against those that do not have at least some white heritage.

No. There is feedback from the laws to the culture, but the culture has clear priority in that relationship.

debatable.

I notice that you are just talking about laws, and left out the administration part of the equation, and institutions and other organizations i referred to.
Is the government part of culture? Police force? Teachers/Schools? Courts? IRS? Military? EPA? FCC? SEC? FTC? Health care? Zoning? Transportation? Commerce? etc. etc.

What about Corporations? Churches? Nonprofits? Media?

You give me total control over laws and government and a little time , and all of those institutions could be dramatically revamped.

Laws control Institutions. Institutions control culture. 99.9 % of individuals are just flotsam in the river of life.

If I had the power to reshape laws and government in all its forms, I'd turn things upside down so much people would forget there ever was such a thing as racism.

The line between government and culture is blurry too.

All those exist in the intersection. Anything with actual people will involve the culture.

Unlikely, as long as you have to hire people.

well, in my hypothetical, i have the power to hire like minded people at all levels of government, and fire those who block progress.

So you are a micro-managing dictator?

 

[northeast]

in my dreams, yes.

 

[Stoked]

in my dreams, yes.

Those are often the worst leaders. You need to get better dreams.
