I'm assuming you mean the black struggle for civil rights in america, to which you would be wrong. Until roughly 30 years ago, the United States was more racist against blacks (and I mean social as well as insitutionalized racism) than the 20 year period following the civil war. From the late 19th century, american culture became
more and more racist instead of less.
Canadian popular opinion of natives shifts as well, depending on the political climate, social wellbeing of the nation and the perceived 'threat' natives pose.
