To idiots such as Colin Kaepernick and MSNBC hosts and viewers, do facts matter, does our history matter, does the final outcome of struggles matter?

For example, talking about the horrors of slavery, does it matter to these idiots that we ended slavery???

In talking about Jim Crow and segregation and Bull Conner and his police dogs, does it matter to them one whit, that this doesn’t happen anymore, and that blacks won the civil rights movement????

In talking about Selma Alabama and the voting rights marches of the era, and John Lewis being beaten up, which is discussed a lot, does it matter to anyone that the Voting Rights Act was passed and blacks won that battle over the Jim Crow voting restrictions???

Does the fact that we have overcome the things that some still complain about, matter to anyone???

If they gave up their grievance, then they would have to take responsibility for their actions and outcomes. It’s much easier to blame Whitey for their failures as a culture.

Blacks did not "win" the civil rights movement. AMERICAN CITIZENS of ALL races promulgated the said civil rights movement. Did blacks participate prominently...assuredly yes, but without their alliance with others, would also assuredly have lost.
