Why do you feel that is anything other than symbolic? Black people are a unique group with laws passed to specifically disenfranchise that group. The Civil Rights Act does nothing for black people specifically, the term 'minority' is used to to get around having to address issues specific to blacks.
Were minorities affected by Jim crow, or was it blacks? Did you know white women are classified as a minority? Did you know that white women benefit more from affirmative action than any other group?
If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there. - Malcolm X
