Things have changed and it becomes harder to imagine how things used to be. As society settles more and more into comfortable status-quo, we start forgetting that things didn't used to be as they are now. Women could not vote until the 1920's, African-Americans were seperate but considered "equal" up until the 1950's. It's so easy to settle into the whole mentality that life is good because it is good for me. And it's hard to impress to people who are no longer part of the "underserved" to become part of system that helps to serve. While it is true that there is still sexism, that there is still racism, how is it so hard to make a jump when someone else is being subjugated to what was once part of your own past struggles and lend a helping hand.
