Sure, I mean, there are no easy answers.
Where I take issue with the conservative argument is that you can reboot from a blank slate when that is clearly not the case. What happened in the past in terms of slavery, segregation does have an impact today.
It's also deeply ironic that many conservatives (not you) now take the tact that they want everyone to be colorblind when the modern Republican party is pretty much built on the idea of playing off the racism of Southern whites.
It's not like they have always been champions of color blind equality, more like the philosophy has evolved from "minorities are inferior" to "minorities should have no special privileges, everyone is equal." Kinda makes you suspicious as to what the real motive is there.
