Yes. That's what I'm saying. The legislative "solution" has proven to be no solution at all. Black culture was not helped by the Civil Rights Act, as this article proves. In fact, that legislation could actually be credited with DESTROYING black culture, or at least the motive for improving it.

So I guess having to use the bathroom in the bushes because there were no "colored" bathrooms within miles in the South was character building, huh?

1) I didn't say it was "character building." But tell me how enabling generations of welfare dependency is "character building."

2) The CRA of 64 didn't eliminate segregated bathroom facilities. Brown did.

3) The legislative solution, coming as it did ahead of the moral reformation, did nothing but create a climate of distrust between the races. Worse, it advanced the notion that moral problems could be solved by well-intentioned bureaucrats.

4) If you've got a point to make, make it without the sarcasm, or expect the same in return.

My mother talks about a layover in Texas on a train trip she took at 21 from Minnesota to visit relatives in California during the mid 40s. She said the way blacks were treated by whites disturbed her to the point of making her ill. She said she never imagined that one group of human beings could behave that way towards another and wanted no part of it.
