CTJ:
Most blacks and people of color had no real role when it came to the rise of either the U. S. based slavery system nor the era of imposed white segregaton aka U. S. apartheid that followed it...
Neither can we really fault the Civil Rights leadership however limited or limiting their viewpoints et al as to the sole means and ways they went about trying to end the second because nobody is all knowing or all seeing...
The issue and problem was and is overreacting to the other group's usual hyping of what they are presumed and assumed to be about
:
The reality is only a relative handful of very rich and therefore powerful white inheritors did and do decide what the white mainstream culture etc. is about or not at all...
Etc.
It is they who decided desegregation would be an easy way out lest their fears the white backlash to the clamoring for equality by the Civil Rights leadership et al would lead to a race war during the late sixties and early seventies:
That too would've undermined they own attempts to advance their own petty self interests around the globe...
The white mainstream turning against U. S. expansionism in Southeast Asia and the Arab Oil Embargo undermined their dreams and schemes anyhow...
That is how we got from there to here, posters...
FYI...
And another one from an ally...
Later...
Peace...
