My family was also pro-Civil rights, and we always lived in integrated neighborhoods growing up (University City and West Mt. Airy in Philadelphia).

Most of the chest-thumping about how "unracist I am" is all so much hot-air.

I doubt most of those people have a clue about what the Civil Rights movement was about, or why the Clintoonized "race-discussion" is such utter nonesense in comparison to it.

It's a shame that the CRA of 1964 has been subsequently exploited like it has since it's enaction. One can argue the good things it brought about like enfranchisement but the aftermath has been considerably mixed and has led to Balkanizing, the cult of victimhood, the Great Society boondoggles, race exploiters, the destruction of the once fairly nuclear black family.....the list goes on....like Pandora's box.

I don't pretend to have the "answer", I just know we're all in trouble now.

You want " personal " history, to prove what a moron you are ? Okay, I'll oblige. When I was three, my two best friends were a black girl and a girl of Chinese ancestry. Our summer home was down the block from Roy Campanella and his stepson ( who was blacker than than most American Negros ) was one of my best friends and my dancing partner,at the parties we had. No one, not a single person, in our group and at that age [ 15, 16, 17 ]we all went to the beach together and no one turned a hair. We didn't even think of race and he wasn't in our group, because Campy had been famous.

I was SO pro-Civil Rights, that I had wanted to go down there and do something, but my mother wouldn't let me and being a full time college student, I didn't have my own money. Not remember , nor know about what the Civil Rights moveement was ? YOU'RE JUST TOO DAMNED FULL OF YOURSELF, YOU EGOMANIAC !

I'm PREDJUDICED ; you bet I am ... against idots, cretins, and self deluded morons. If any of those shoes fit ( and they do ), please don't complain. ;^)
