The Civil Rights Movement was about changing public policy to allow full access to the promise of America.
It was about allowing full access to all schools.
It was about allowing full access to the voting booth.
It was about allowing full access to jobs.
It was about allowing full access to opportunities.
It WASN'T about disallowing people to "act the fool". That is a home training and/or moral and/or gray matter issue. It's not a "Civil Rights" issue.
Stopping rappers from spewing filth isn't a "Civil Rights" issue, it is a moral and human rights issue.
Stopping the insane use of "nigger" by Black people is not a "Civil Rights" issue, it is a self-respect issue.
Stopping crime is a moral and community issue not a "Civil Rights" issue.
Lowering the high rate of out of wedlock births is a moral issue and a poverty issue and a social issue, not a "Civil Rights" issue.
At least that's how I see it.
