NYC approves apartment building with separate entrance for poor people

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

They own the building at the end of the day.

Someone owned the lunch counters at Woolworths as well.

Yes, they did. And the Civil Rights movement succeeded in tainting Woolworth's in the eyes of history as well.

What about those who were oppressed before we were able to see what the "eyes of history" saw?

What about the victims of crucifixion before crucifixion fell out of use?

Do you think you would be okay with crucifixion had you lived before it had fallen out of use? The 'eyes of history' are trained precisely by people ceasing to be okay with these things while they are still going on.
