81. Again, people were "uncomfortable" with having racially mixed schools
People were "uncomfortable" with having Jews and gentiles living the same apartment building.
People were "uncomfortable" with women having the right to vote.
People were "uncomfortable" with ending slavery.
People were "uncomfortable" with America becoming an independent nation.
Those changes didn't come after the majority "got comfortable" with those events changing. Those changes occurred because somebody stood up and said "There's a principle at stake here" - - and then went on to persuade other people that it was time to make a change. People only "got comfortable" with those ideas after those changes were made and they lived with them awhile.
