Broadsword,

There were actually two left movements in the sixties. The Great Society programs did indeed cause some problems and make others worse, but you can’t overlook the far left movement that was telling the young that learning to read was acting white. And not every Republican was color blind. The mainstream Democrats and Republicans might have had an easier time coming togethr to correct mistakes had the radicals not intervened. The messages received by young blacks were not easy to sort out.
