"The wise and elderly black people I use to work with told me that about the Civil Rights bumblers. Incidentally, Thomas Sowell wrote that the greatest black progress professionally was in the 50s, before the Civil Rights era."Sometimes I think I would feel much more culturally at home in the 1940's USA than today. Jews as a community always thrived in the US, even if the few stores and establishments in that era held sighs "no Jews allowed". Still much better political climate than Europe (and not even counting the Nazis.) Observant Jews have no business going into the non-kosher restaurants and shops that excluded them, anyway. And non-observant either blended in or had many other alternatives.
Spare me your demogoguery and sarcasm. That the races were getting along better without the meddlesom freedom riders is of no consequence to you. And anyone who speaks against them is smeared as a racist or in my case a budding self hater.
And blacks thanked the Jews for the Civil Rights help by becoming the most antisemitic of the ethnic groups (Islam is not a race so it doesn't fall under that category).
Another wonderful by product of the meddlesome and obnoxious Freedom Rider/Civil Rights movement.
