Over a half-century; two generations. Working on racial equality. And here we are.Why? Was affirmative action not enough? Welfare not enough? Joe Biden has presided over this period in history, even as a Vice to a Bi-racial President. Why did the movement fail? Is it possible that American society opened the door, but the black community failed to walk in? There are values that make America great. A love of Education. A willingness to work hard. A faithfulness to Family and God. The black people the embrace those values and opportunities seem to go through life pretty well. My point is, all this breast-beating is meaningless without the active participation of the black community. In fact, the changes I've seen so far are making American Society worse for all of us, particularly with respect to law and order. In the poorest American communities, where the care and feeding of (mostly black) children has been delegated to the state, where children get three meals a day at school, no Social Movement can change that.
 
To the OP (and his related posts elsewhere):

Because it created a movement with no clearly defined end game,
no marker with which to declare victory, but with great political power.

People became so vested in the nobility of the movement
that they wanted it to continue, even if it meant a continual
readjustment when it comes to the placement of the goals...

We educate now to the nobility of the fight and its continued relevance,
even if it means protecting the civil rights of the mentally and behaviorally aberrant.
We hold these truths to be self-evident that Racism (as well as a myriad of other -isms),
as a message, can never be allowed to die and wither on the vine; it must be sought out and defeated...

;) ;)

... but it is such a pernicious evil, like Satan, that it can never be defeated,
it is the ultimate self-fulfilling prophecy and indictment of basic human nature.




PS: This will also be helpful in understand the roots of "the movement:"

Was Civil Rights the failure or was it the creation of the Welfare State? They both occurred at virtually the same time.
 
What difference will this "movement" make? (I already know the answer.)
 
LMAO! It didn't fail. If it really did you wouldn't be spending any time trying to convince others of it.

I got to hand it to you guys...your trying to sell snow to an Inuit.

Oh by the way, the American Revolution failed too(by your logic) and we are still a British Colony. LMFAO!
 
Are you trying to say something there?
It's not really coming out very coherently.

Are you saying that The Civil Rights Movement succeeded?

It didn't? What is your definition of success? Detroit? Chicago? Buffalo?

It fails because you cannot legislate out racism....individuals need to do that, from within themselves and in the US that seems to be a problem among mostly old white guys....

There's no doubt the Welfare State kept a lot of descendants of slaves confined to plowing the fields of the Democrat Plantation.

You, of course, have some sort of proof to your opinion?

Those "old white guys" were young men in the 60s
and I remember a lot of white support for the movement...

Are you, perhaps projecting, to talking about old white guys
such as Joe Biden who tell voters you're not black if you don't vote for me?
The white people who constantly advance this storyline for political/academic gain?
 
The Civil Rights Movement did not "fail", it just has yet to achieve it's full potential, primarily because the generation that included Ishmael, Dances With Falsehoods, and Gunny Poopsmith fought every provision every step of the way.

It DID give Negroes unfettered access to the voting booth (poll tax anyone? literacy requirement?) but your Republican party is working tirelessly to roll back those provisions and return to the halycon days of "one white man, one vote".

The bigger problem in the U.S. are the propaganda sewage pumps on the left manned by dutifully obtuse oleaginous Ophidians like yourself.:rolleyes:
 
ThrobDownSouth is a perfect example of an elderly white Democrat
who has extreme problems with races other than his own...

Opinions don't require proof, that is why they are called opinions, not facts.

Those "old white guys" were young men in the 60s

And I also remember a whole lot of young white guys who were outright racist back then to, since I was a young white guy back then....of the ones who were racists, the ones I know who are still alive have not really changed.

That is of course here in Canada and the racism was towards our Native population.

Somehow I don't think there is much difference in a Racist's thinking, irrelevant of which country they reside in.

Opinions uttered without proof or in knowing disregard of the truth are called lies.

So you were lying about "blood libel", Tim? Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.Well done you.

Then WHY do Democrats hitch their wagons to Joe and Bernie?
 
Tribal violence is inherent in humans, as the history of anywhere shows in bloody detail.
