Entry: Civil Rights and Wrongs Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/civil_rights_and_wrongs#14808 Post contents: FAct number one Jim Crow had to go. It was evil and,worse, it was lunatic. Fact number two. Getting rid of it was for the black community the equivalent of Exodus in the Old Testment, a foundation myth, the same way that the Founding Fathers are the foundation myth of the US Fact number three MLK's failings are no more relevant to that discussion than Adams', Jefferson's, Washington's, et al. flaw's are in the history of the newly erected Republic. Yes, they were flawed men, but they managed to pull off something worthwhile. Fact number four Conservatives managed to lose that particular bus, and thus lost a sizeable constituency who wouldd have been quite glad to espouse their values. Fact number five Grumbling about it now only compounds the error. Sent at: 2008 11 21
