(<)<I can tell you that I am glad I didn't have to grow up in that era. Just seems like so much constant stress to live in a society like that no matter what side of the color line you were on. A lot of people will complain that not enough has been done, but this country has come a long way.
Glad to be an American.

Maybe but things are regressing on both ends.
Well what have the Blacks or African-Americans, done to improve the situation in the last 40 or so years ?
They are pretty fvcked up and their "culture" discourages their youth from being successful. A youngster African carrying books home to study won't make it home ( with the books) Any city that is over 40% Black is a Hellhole !
That is the reality of the situation, case closed !
MLK' s dream failed. I once dreamed I won Powerball.

got that rt....must of been alot of mixed and harsh emotion's between alot of people. espicially in the south..
mlk helped get a lot of good done, but he was a man with many demons and rather 2 faced. As for black culture, sometimes its very hard to comprehend. Think i just saw that at a memphis high school, 90 girls are pregnant or just gave birth to a child. There are a lot more equal rights out there now than 40 years ago, but this current generation doesn't seem to be taking advantage of it
I lived through that era in my late teens/early twenties and am proud to have seen this country come to it's senses regarding Civil Rights. Martin Luther King was indeed a man of great vision, courage and principal without fear.
Watching segregation was painful. Having separate bathrooms, drinking fountains, schools, transportation split by race was awful. We can't say that all is right with the world or even this country, but the bigotry and hatred back then needed to be addressed. The people spoke and the representatives and President listened. One of the more important changes to our Constitution IMHO.

This is what has happened in this country, everyone is so afraid of coming off as a racist that they do the complete opposite. Even if most crimes are committed by black people you'll never see a home security commercial with a black man breaking into a house.
It's like when you see a cop following you and you overreact by doing the complete opposite. You not only slow down but you go way beyond the speed limit. Even if most black teens are pregnant we can't say it. It's bullshit. Where do stats stop and racism start.
