[kj] projectile vomiting

Well, I think the main problem w/the civil rights movement was that it helped some of the black middle class. Many just became part of the "sysetm"--school and city administrators, cops, managers & businesspeople, etc. The black working class is in many ways worse off than they were during segregation (when black communities had their own doctors, teachers, lawyers, etc): higher prison rate than ever, bad schools, health care,and housing, more crime and drugs, etc. It's similar in a way to what has happened in South Africa since Apartheid ended--people still struggle for decent housing, electricity, etc.

Yeah, and without the suffagettes we wouldn't have had Margaret Thatcher. But 
(and NB I share your sickened feeling) you can't expect to emancipate / liberate 
a whole chunk of society and expect them all to be nice liberals, er, 
communists.
