re: All things considered, do you think the 1960s were positive for society?

. I ask you this: is life, society, or the world better now then it was before the 60's?
For African-Americans, what do you think? I'd say it is subjective. Life and society is definitely better for a huge chunk of the American population who were marginalized and discriminated against violently in that pristine, perfect 1950's America. That America was more conditioning BS that my parent's generation swallowed hook, line and sinker. My generation came of age in a post Watergate and Vietnam era. We saw the anger and discontent and were completely cynical about our government from a young age. Literally my first memories of childhood are the Watergate Hearings. Then the hostage crisis in Iran. It was just one thing after another.

(Sticking with the American Family again)
Yet, despite the undeniably racial shittiness of white Southerners to blacks in that earlier period, the Black American Family was intact and blacks (and everybody else for that matter) didn't have to deal with the horribly destructive effects of growing up with no Father in poverty and violence. To call what we have now a "success" is folly. The American Family is failing miserably. This is occurring because American accepted the laughable 60's cultural premise that we could remake human nature through government intervention and that this most critical unit of cultural cohesion and learning could be replaced by a Benevolent State.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan called in all in 1965. The Great Society is the Father of ALL these soupy cultural pathologies. It was entirely predictable and as we see today, the worse it gets, the more people cheerlead for it.
