Race riots and Black Power/Black Nationalist groups and white fear of their expansion if the demands of the civil rights movement weren't at least nominally met? Nope, definitely had nothing to do with the end of Jim Crow. It was all white people feeling generous after seeing protesters attacked!

If only modern times had police brutality against minorities maybe the whites would again find generosity in their hearts.

Read the parts you bolded.
*Replace "Birmingham" with "Ferguson" *Replace "J F Kennedy" with "Barack Obama" It isn't the same, but it isn't much different, either. And that's the point.

I just got home from the protests at NYC. We shut down the FDR and I heard others took over Manhattan bridge. Most of the people stuck were either taking pictures or cheering us on. We even saw some empty cars so I'm guessing some people got out to join us. The only people who looked annoyed were the cops, but gently caress 'em. So there you go, word from the ground floor about the efficacy of protests.

I Dont Like You posted:I'm trying to imagine how a number of posters in here would be reacting during the Civil Rights era. Mostly the same I suppose but with slurs being thrown around. Well the civil rights movement took place during a time when the average middle class family was still sharing telephone lines.

We'll write an app that you can put your details into and it'll judge how moving your victimhood will be for the movement. Once we get a critical mass of folks who have unassailable character we'll have them all peacefully demonstrate somewhere until the cops pepper spray them and then change will finally bloom from the actions of those brave cops.

Foma posted:Bull Conner's response to the civil rights protest is what moved people to their side. People saw the dogs being let loose on civil peaceful protesters and were ashamed and moved. It was people acting badly that won over the masses, this time the protesters are the ones acting badly and no one is coming over to their side. *shoots reporters with tear gas on live television*
