Here are alternative viewpoints to MLK in the black community that should be heard and are censored by the media. I think that after integration, you are worse off with mass incarceration, than this 'success' is a failure.

Can you please explain this ???

Specifically, what was integration's direct impact upon incarceration?

You make an interesting point, but support it factually.

Did you know before emancipation, the Black prison population was virtually zero?

So does this mean that before emancipation, Black folks were better off?

Watch the entire documentary Slavery by Another Name
and "Making of" the documentary special.

There are 600,000 to 800,000 caged up like animals in prison, above the rate of other racial groups. It could be attributed to the Civil Rights Movement or not, and the unintended side effects.

No way this would have happened if we had done what Mormons, Amish, Jewish, and other groups do when they are being persecuted. There is no way we would incarcerate 2.3% in prison!

The so called Civil Rights Movement started in the early 1950s.

So called integration started in the mid 1960s, although it still hasn't occurred the way it should as of this day.

According to your chart the Black prison incarceration rate actually fell from the 1950s until the mid 1970s.

It rose precipitously in the mid 1970s, actually when the so called Civil Rights Movement fell off.

Your anecdotal evidence fails to take in to account the war on drugs, which began in the early 1970s, the economy in general among other things.

Please post more evidence.
