re: #165 KGxvi

Pleasantville 1950s, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father 1950s, My Three Sons 1950s… those 1950s. Which are totally different from what you read about in history books where firehoses and police dogs were being turned loose on peaceful protesters.

Yeah, but they only turned firehoses and dogs on Those People.

Seriously, though - I think as far as most of the not-overtly-racist Right are concerned, the Civil Rights Movement as a legitimate entity started with Rosa Parks and ended when the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act passed, at which point blacks had achieved complete equality with whites in America. And everything after that was just trying to take more than their fair share.

And boy, do I wish I were exaggerating.
