>Although I agree with one and not with the other, I think they are somehow related: people don't simply accept what they have been told for generations is the right thing to do; rather, all institutions, customs, etc. are being questioned. In a way, this is a good thing. Let's just hope that whatever remains, eventually, will assist the well-being of all.


Well said, I agree it is a good thing that these things are questioned. I think another way the two are related is that in both cases, the majority of people subject a minority of people to an unequal injustice and a couple generations after the injustice is corrected most will look back and wonder how the injustice became law in the first place.
