Something awful must have happened to you. I could write a lot more but I don't have the time. Your attitude is very defeatist, very cynical. I was the first executive in my stodgy, conservative luxe corporation to recruit Black, Latino, and Asian artists. I made it my mission to teach my stubborn White elders (several of them racists) the wisdom and foresight of diversity. I taught my recruits how to strive and thrive in creative business. I fully gave back what was given to me. Most of my recruits went on to live the American Dream. I know countless business people in our Capitalist system who believe in paying it forward and leaving no man behind. I stand among them, proudly.

But, the most significant events, other than Brown v. Board of Education & a civil act in the late 1950s, took place when Martin Luther King and Lyndon Johnson said "we shall overcome.". Truman desegregated the military. LBJ signed Medicare into law at the Truman Presidential Library in Missouri with Harry and Bess Truman there. Politcal scientists rate LBJ as the best president for minorities, but in second place after Lincoln. As much as I liked Kennedy, I knew in 1964, Johnson was better at dealing with Congress.

The American Civil Rights Movement was from 1954 to 1968. The Civil Rights Movement lasted far beyond 1968. There were still over 500,00 United States military in Vietnam, many of the grunts were black. Nixon's incursion into Cambodia was largely the responsibility of blacks. The trials of Bobby Seale and others who "disrupted" the 1968 Democratic National Convention took place after 1968. Ask Bobby Seale when the struggle ended. Calling Bobby. Tell us how you were bound and gagged at the trial. Johnson last public appearance (in 1973) was with Civil Rights leadership at the Johnson Presidential Library in Austin. LBJ was obviously very ill & died a few weeks later. Edited June 16, 2020 by Buddy2 Quote

Members tassojunior Posted June 18, 2020 Members Posted June 18, 2020 Cracker Barrel became very pro-gay several years ago, including equal health and life insurance benefits for same-sex partners. And Chick Filet stopped donating to the anti-gay-marriage Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes last year. Personally I admire that Chick Filet loses enormous profit by closing on sundays because of their beliefs. That sunday closing is also a reason many people with families or spouses love working there. And my father made me promise to always help the Salvation Army because it was the only group to help him as a soldier plus I've seen the great work they do for people in AIDS housing in DC.

It's hip to put down as associated with food lower classes like. I find they have the best meatloaf, biscuits and turnip greens anywhere and my Argentine and European guests always love it's food when we're on the highway.
