For what it's worth, I'm not an advocate of working within 'the system' in hopes that it can be corrected. I may be reading some posts incorrectly, but it seems that some of us believe that continued participation in a flawed electoral system can yield real and tangible benefits to those other than its architects. While that approach is not without merit, my opinion is that it's just not realistic.
so, to you, civil rights were no "real" benefits?

i hear what you will not do. i do not hear what you are doing.
just what do you suggest doing and how is that working for us?
