Have riots ultimately helped or harmed civil rights?

22. I think the Civil Rights movement here, still ongoing, has been among the least violent

and still is, of most Civil Rights movements I can think of.

This fight is hundreds of years old, and there ARE 'charismatic' leaders trying to get some justice peacefully. The fact that no one knows them, is proof of how ignored these efforts are.

This should be a daily story on the US Media, because a large segment of this country's population is still without Civil Rights, still living in fear, they way they were in the '50s in far too many places around the country today.

But our media never talks about this enormous issue, busy selling the Karashians and Lindsey Lohan or whoever the latest 'celeb' happens to be.

It's all calculated by Corporations, to keep the people distracted.

As S.African and India, there was plenty of violence in those struggles.

And today's AAs in this country ARE following those examples of peaceful revolution, and like them, every once in a while, people explode out of sheer frustration when they are kept in poverty and have no hope.

To say this and much worse never happened in those places, in Ireland, in India and in S.Africa, and everywhere there was a fight for justice, is to not acknowledge history.
