>>The Civil rights act destroyed the black family, just as that government study by Moynihan said it would.
I assume you mean the Great Society programs such as SNAP (food stamps) and the expansion of AFDC. Yes, Moynihan & Glazer were prescient. I’m not sure the Civil Rights Act hurt the black family, but the Nixon Administration’s interpretation of it (Affirmative Action) has definitely hurt the US economy and culture.
Affirmative action originated under the Johnson administration as implementation of 82-352 (also passed in 1964) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

The term “affirmative action” ... first appeared in Executive Order 10925, which was signed by President John F. Kennedy on March 6, 1961, and it was used to refer to measures to achieve non-discrimination. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued Executive Order 11246 which required federal contractors to take “affirmative action” to hire without regard to race, religion and national origin. In 1968, gender was added to the anti-discrimination list.[2] Matching procedures in other countries are also known as reservation in India, positive discrimination in the United Kingdom, and employment equity in Canada.
For the younger Freepers here, in those days "affirmative action" meant putting help wanted ads in the newspapers read by Negroes. (Yes, that was the correct racial designation at the time.) The quota stuff didn't come until later.
I remember when we tried to hire the "best-qualified". When was the last time you heard that term?
