> most of the civil rights movement's goals were foiled or rolled back
Not everything is perfect at all - there are very serious problems - but the country (and world) is transformed since before the Civil Rights Movement, and civil rights have spread to others (LGBTQ+ and disabled people, for example).
It's the people against civil rights who want you to quit, to believe you are powerless, that it is all for nothing. Maybe they want to believe it too! :)

- wolverine876 4y ago> That only started in the last two decades Plenty happened in the four decades before that. Look up Stonewall, for example. > it's still a far cry away from being properly established That doesn't mean nothing happened. People can get married, and most of the country supports that!
