I think their argument was not that the Civil Rights Act and similar legislation have done nothing, but that they haven't done enough yet, and that people who like to pretend that "because we have passed certain of these laws, the work is done and everything is equal now, our best option is to pretend racism is all gone and just let every compete fairly in the all-better world" are either dreaming or lying.
