Wasn’t their major victory in the USA the fact that the institutionally racist repression in every area of human activity of non-whites in general, peoples of African ethnicity specifically was/is STILL regarded today as a Civil Rights issue, as opposed to part of the longest running most despicably EVIL Human Rights violations [integral with the ongoing African HOLOCAUST of over 500 years duration] on the historical record?
The above makes no sense.
Would any of the Civil Rights battles have been necessary if African Americans within the USA were accorded their Constitutional Rights in the manner that whites take for granted, as opposed to being remined by the unpunished executions of Trayvon Martin, Renisha and many others that despite having a Black man as President, their lives are worth NOTHING in the land of their birth? What victory was that, exactly, in fact hasn’t INTEGRATION literally destroyed the self sufficiency/do for self ethos that created spectacularly successful African American communities like the GAP of Tulsa circa 1920 and Rosewood?
The Civil Rights Movement wasn't about "integration." It was about gaining civil rights for black Americans. Integration was simply a by-product of gaining those civil rights.
