[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3959257, member: 66082"] Here is the thing, I wish people would pay attention to what the people on the other side of the civil rights movement were saying....they'd see they are making the same arguments. I watched numerous interviews from somewhere in MS before the 1964 civil rights bill that basically ensured black Americans would be able to vote was passed. They interviewed regular looking white Americans in Mississippi about this legislation, and to a person, they all felt it was unnecessary, that racism wasn't a problem, that black Americans were already equal. They said this legislation would make things worse and cause more problems, etc. Were these people racist? I don't know, did the 1964 civil rights legislation call them racist? No. Did the civil rights legislation address racist policies? Yes. Was huge progress made? Yes. Your concerns are misplaced. [/QUOTE]
