What were the accomplishments of black power?

Answer 1

Of all the touted accomplishments of the Civil Rights Movement by so called civil rights activists the single most all encompassing accomplishment of the civil rights movement was to polarize the people into political groups whose primary characteristic is that of a victim. While black people in the United States, even today, still find themselves shut out of and alienated from a government that purports to protect the rights of all people and there was and still is a very real need to rectify the gross and contradictory nature of a Constitution that names them as other persons and deems them to be only three-fifths people. Civil rights groups and the activists who loudly preach their brand of justice have done absolutely nothing to correct the problem and have only accomplished creating different problems by abandoning any pursuit of individual rights in favor of collective rights. For the activist the civil rights movement accomplished integration of public-schools, better access to voting for minority groups, certain legislation regarding labor laws, regulations of commerce and far too many of those over fifty will remind us how they marched on Washington with Martin Luther King!

The difference between civil rights and natural rights is that natural rights are what you have regardless of who you are and civil rights are rights and privileges demanded from our government so that we may be identified by our race, or color, or sex or country we came from or our disabilities. One who has natural rights is a freeborn sovereign who lives his life accordingly pursuing happiness as if he were free to do so. One who has civil rights is an African American or a Mexican American or a Chinese American, they are feminists or gay activists or Americans with disabilities, or Retired Americans or whatever group of people feeling victimized because they failed to assert their rights as individuals. The civil rights movement accomplished far too much making it even harder for individuals to assert their natural rights by clogging up the courts with social issues that were most likely better served as law suits against the individuals in a civil court as a tort or criminal court holding every individual who ever abrogated and derogated the rights of an individual accountable for their actions.

There is much celebration amongst civil rights activists and most everyone else when it comes to the civil rights movement, even though government and administrative agencies continue to run roughshod over any individual who will let them. When an African American is abused by errant police officers, the civil rights activists all rise to the occasion and rally the troops for press conferences and protests demanding more government oversight over the very same government that abused this persons rights. When another person, who happens to be black is pulled over by a police officer who seems to have no good reason to pull him over other than harassing him simply because he is black and that black person calmly and coolly request the police officer show how he or she found jurisdiction over that person who happens to be black, then civil rights take a back seat to natural rights. When in response to showing ID, he calmly and politely asks the police officer if he is being detained he or she is further challenging the jurisdiction of this errant police officer. If the police officer becomes more forceful in insisting on ID and the black person calmly asks again if he or she is being detained, he is insisting the police officer answer directly in terms of yes or no. If the police officer says no at this point it is very likely that he knows the law, and is becoming all too aware that the black person he just ill legally detained does too. If the police officer says yes, and he calmly responds by informing the police officer that the police officer is detaining him against his will and very politely informs that police officer that he may be guilty of obstruction of justice, acting under color of law, simulation of legal process and coercion he may just convince the police officer to leave him alone with out all the hoopla that comes with civil rights.

He also runs the risk of getting the beejeezes beat out of him or even her from this errant police officer who will undoubtedly call for back up so more errant police officer can get in the beating. But, if that person is black it appears that he or even she runs the risk of getting beaten to a pulp whether they assert their rights or not. Asserting ones right doesn't guarantee they'll by acknowledged by most government officials who believe that the people exist to serve the government. Every step of the way the errant government official will inextricably bind himself to his own criminality if the person, whether black, female, gay or an immigrant knows his rights and knows how to petition for a redress of grievances. When the average person begins to understand this, there will be little need for marches on Washington.
