In your opinion, what is the *one* instance in memorable history that has contributed toward such a dramatic incline in political or cultural or racial divisiveness. Our younger son (middle school) has many questions regarding racism as he pays more attention to current events... He asked us how we perceive the increasing racial and political conflict, and even asked his grandmother what things were like when she was a young adult (MLK years)... Her answer was that she thinks things are worse for my and his and his older brothers generation in terms of the current "vibe" of lack of respect for diversity of thought for younger generations.
Can or would you put your finger on just one turning point?
I'm not sure what mine would be... Rodney King riots is probably what I would have said years ago, maybe, but things just seem to continue to deteriorate now week by week ("Can it get any worse?").

I think the biggest turning-point in my memory, was when the Republican-stacked Supreme Court, selected George W. Bush to be president.
It started in the 60's and has been gaining ground and growing and changing. Now it's focus is SJW nonsense and the tentacles of Postmodernist philosophy invading all areas of society with the goal to bringing about the social and political revolution. Think of it as the bridge to hell. Better to learn about it and save your kids.

What started in the 60s, was a social and sexual revolution that freed many people from the repressions of the past. The widespread availability of birth-control pills, women's athletics being introduced into schools and making most jobs available to women, were some of the events that helped this happen. You apparently would like to revert to those dark ages before that. The only way anyone could prevent their kids from experiencing these freedoms, would be to keep them locked in a basement.
I'd say the biggest turning point was when the Republican party finally stopped the evil democrat parties creation and endorsement of the KKK and freeing the slaves from the Democrat plantations

Introduced?
There's a useful word!
Kinda like the way Marxists "introduced" economic reforms.
BTW, today, less than 1% of mechanics are female.
Guess they still don't make wrenches that fit girl's hands.
