I definitely have to agree with you on this point

>>>>>secondly, what was the point of the civil rights movement? to just march and protest and preach forever? at what point do black folks enjoy the fruits of their labor? my father still remembers "colored only" signs growing up, he was in alabama during the civil rights movement...thats pretty fucking arrogant to look at a generation that experienced those types of things and say they failed us.


I don't want to dismiss the great accomplishments of the civil rights movement, it was very necessary and it brought us opportunites that weren't available to us prior to it. But we have to move forward. Essentially the civil rights movement was a period of time when we begged and fought "the man" to grant us rights.

We need to move on to the second phase of the movement where we do for ourselves.
