"Surely, the gains of the civil rights movement in the 60s were important, but they turned out to be superficial and largely symbolic. We can sit at lunch counters and vote, but economically, civil rights gains took more from us than they gave. Some blacks got important big paying jobs in white businesses or government. Sure, we have our Colin powells and Oprah’s, but the black masses were left behind. So you see, integration came at the expense of the black community. Now things are worse than ever."
