That is a load of BS. The Black Muslims may have their faults, but they strongly support the family. I don't think the civil rights movement would have had as much success without the threat of achieving King's goals by any means necessary.

The Great Society Programs are the number one reason for the decline of the family including, to a higher degree, black families.

The vision of the annointed usually fails to see the possible unintended negative consequences of their "enlightened" ideas put into public policy.

Both Whites and Blacks were better off during segregation, but I have a feeling the Great Society affected both parties worse than integration.

You are like a mad soldier on a tropical atoll who didn't get the memo that the war is over. The prisoners of war that you have "captured" are tourists. Release them, immediately. You do realize everyone is laughing at your predictable tirade of obsolete talking points. I grew up in an East Coast ghetto and I didn't see that much of what you are talking about. Now I live in the sketchy part of a West Coast town and I don't see any of what you are talking about. When there are NO blacks to give a neighborhood a run down look or to make it extremely unwise to stroll around in after dark, when there are none or extremely few black people in a particular town to give welfare or section 8 to, white people are VERY ready and able to stand in for them. In fact, being that there are still so many more poor white people than all the black people of every walk of life, combined. Well... it just makes your post all the more pathetic. And untrue.

What do you think is the cause?
Not surprised you are against the Civil Rights movement. You wish things could go back to the 40's, 1840's,

Wrong. Feminism is and has always been a White women's movement.

Whites were doing great during segregation. Great at making life absolute hell for Black people. There was nothing "better" about Jim Crow.

Black women are involved in the movement too,
especially recently.

What were you smoking before you typed that? The only people who were better off under segregation were the white ones.
