"I also think that my fellow Jews should not pat themselves over the back to much with their civil rights work. They were real meddlers back then and antagonized the races when the races in the south were finally coming together. If there is any of my tribe whose heart still bleeds for the black man, then put that... bleeding to good use by supporting war hero, Allen West or presidential candidate, Herman Cain. p.s. As a sidebar, it wasn't for nothing that then candidate Ronald Reagan called the 1964 Civil Rights act a bad piece of legislation."I would appreciate more evidence to back up your assertion that the "races in the south were finally coming together." If you know something I don't, it will be appreciated. As for the "bad piece of legislation", do you think the clock should be rolled back? How far? Do you think, going back to the USA of the 1940's, where some stores and establishments had signs at the entrance, "No Jews Allowed", is a better/more viable alternative to the society as it is today?
Incidentally, Thomas Sowell wrote that the greatest black progress professionally was in the 50s, before the Civil Rights era.
