On another thread, Tented (banally and predictably) invoked the Civil Rights Movement as a precursor to the contemporary gay rights movement. There are about 100 problems with that comparison, but I'll just focus on one: the notion that America is now a splendid racial utopia as a result of the Civil Rights Movement.
As food for thought, I encourage everyone here to watch the 7-minute video below from ABC News about an African-American inner city school called Strawberry Mansion in Philadelphia. For those of you who don't reside in the States, it should be even more informative.
To everyone on this board who is non-American, let me sum it up this way: the reality that you see in this video is pervasive in urban America, and it is denied, rationalized, and covered up by the white leftist media and education establishment; actually - as tented just showed - it is actually invoked as a success story.
Yes, you read that right - kids from drug-ridden, welfare-dependent homes getting suspended in school constantly and often being incarcerated before they reach age 18 is spun off as one of humanity's great success stories.
Go figure. I just wonder if tented would feel comfortable sending his children to Strawberry Mansion!
Also - to Murat - I would say that this environment at Strawberry Mansion is directly the product of the de-Christianization of American schools and American public life in the last 50 years. You want to know what negative effects atheism and atheist-inspired policy can have? Look at this video.
