Making something illegal does not stop people for continuing to perpetuate that something. We have this conversation here all the time, and I think we can all agree that legality is not the beginning nor the end of equity.

Put another way: making something illegal does not solve the problem, and asserting that does does makes it harder to solve problems.

You'd think so, but no.
