I’m impressed by your educational credentials but I still have my doubts.

Keep in mind, I’m not criticizing civil rights in and of itself. I’m wondering how fair of a representation we got of what was really happening during the 60s within the black community and how they actually handled it aside from the approved narrative.

The reason we have the perspective of today is because of a mixture of things that didn’t exist back then: social technology, decades of historical perspective, internet access and choices aside from leftist controlled news orgs.

I find it very telling that anyone back then who tried to explain the issues of the black community outside of “whites did it all” was immediately branded racist. Just like today.

The entire right was demonized, just like today. We only saw pro-black, pro-civil rights media when it came to the news, just like today.

Civil rights were also being used as a blanket tactic to push communism, just like today.

You can’t really ignore the parallels, trust me, I’ve desperately tried. But history repeats itself when you don’t fully comprehend what happened the first time and there’s quite a bit of that occurring now.

I also received an outstanding education and was top of my class in most subjects including history—-I still have my doubts.
