I’m not talking about now. I’m talking about 50 years ago. Clearly the black community has not taken advantage of the additional freedoms given to them in the mid 60’s.

I’ll ask the question again. Lets say you were a black man in 1965 in Selma. And you were not allowed to vote, or even register to vote. Would you just shrug your shoulders and go home? Or would protesting that condition make you a “troublemaker”?

“I’m not talking about now. I’m talking about 50 years ago.”

Fifty years ago I was THE most disinterested person about politics/freedom/culture/racial strife, or however you want to name it, on the planet. ;-) I was in the military at the time, totally disconnected from society/news and ‘out-of-sight’, too.

“Clearly the black community has not taken advantage of the additional freedoms given to them in the mid 60’s.”

Thank you for the admission. I coerced you into ‘bending’ just a little bit. ;-)
