    They had dogs let loose on them.

    They were beaten.

    They were sprayed with water cannons capable of taking you off your feet and throwing your body into whatever hard object stops it.

    They were arrested.

    They were lynched.

    It was not easy then and it won’t be easy now.

      That’s not what I’m talking about at all. Back in that day, we fought and it fucking counted against the man’s capability. Then in the 70’s, everyone was all pathetic to no acceptance by the man who suffered nothing for the “protests” and about jack fucking shit has happened since to any effect.
