I"m sure that in hindsight, Tex and yourself would grudgingly admit that the civil rights movement was a good thing. But it's not a secret that the movement succeeded despite the best efforts of people with whom you align yourself politically. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but the truth is often bitter.
In hindsight? Well, I was born 3 months before MLK was murdered, so it would have to be in hindsight. Go search my posts on MLK on Cougarboard and you will see that I have been nothing but complimentary of the good that MLK accomplished.

I have been far less sparing in my comments about his self-appointed successors in the movement, however.
