A kid born in 1963 would not have any adult type memory/ies at age 6-7, so; I think you might want to move to the 70’s as the real period of any change as your earliest date from any personal experience. I recall in late 1969 no damn problems when I was in uniform, plus I was sent back to college in May 70-72 by Chief Infantry Branch. I saw hippies hitch hiking along I-80 and I gave one Creighton student a ride from Denver back to Omaha. All I cared about was could he open beer cans. In short, we did not worry about getting mugged, robbed, nor did we have gang problems in the 60’s. We had idiots like John Kerry and his VVAW plus Jane Fonda, but; the race problems of the 1968 timeframe in Newark and Detroit were not Black Power nor the serious problems like I first saw in 73-74 in Korea. Hell, it took the BDE S-3 SGM an SF type to put down LTC Colin Powell’s race riots. Powell was given the best BN command in the entire division and he could not handle his fellow blacks taking over day rooms. That was your Black Power timeframe. In 1972 Gloria Steinham’s bio came out. You suffer from few facts and the wrong time frame. A person who purports to know the 60’s and was under 7 years of age in 1969 is delusional. You were not in high school until the late 70’s, so; please don’t try to blow anymore smoke up-—.

You have completely misunderstood the entire point. So I will drop it. Have a good day.
