Civil rights was actually relevant in the 60’s.
most of that stuff Beck and Hannity crow about the GOP having a hand in is what has led to where we are now.
the adoration of socialist Cong sympathizer Martin King
veneration of freedom riders who were actually mostly New Left kids who in many cases were the vanguard of the student uprisings
the birth of identity politics and preference on the back of the civil rights act
and the blowback from the VRA
and the plethora of damage from the entitlements which came immediately on the heels
the only relevance that civil rights had was to enforce existing laws and the constitution..the rest was a fools bargain
we created a monster that in the long run will destroy us...segregation and discrimination though morally indefensible were not the destructive force the redress has proven to be
the very communities we purported to help and slapped our own backs for doing so are in far worse shape now than then particularly family wise and crime rates
and by extension so are we all....any barometer shows it
the only thing better about now is medical care and more entertainment choices..lol
sucks...I've watched it all happen....we all sit around here and crow but we're just a finger the dike..the worm has turned so far we can only slow down an eventual collapse
all that will actually turn the ship around is something so catastrophic to make us recognize that our love of the unreality that we find more comfortable than facing harsh empirical realities about peoples, religions, gender...or lack of...is a pure indulgence born of a time laden with too much information, guilt and convenience.
we get back to a fight for survival one day and things like homosexual marriage, race preference and Spike Lee movies, women's gripes and the demonization of Christendom will ebb
