You must remember that after they stopped Reconstruction and went into this era that ended up with Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896, there was no legal change till 1954 with Brown v. Board of Education. You're talking about a span of almost a century... I've never seen a Black employee in Donald Trump's office.
So you're right. You can't erase that in a generation, because by law we couldn't do certain things... He didn't do it as a private citizen, and as Steve Rattner's charts show, he didn't do it as the president.
