What were the limitations of the civil rights movement?

Answer 1

The limitations of the Civil Rights Movement (In relation to Blacks in the US) were as follows.

1) The mindset and ideologies of white supremacist followers could not be changed by alterations in the status and formation of laws desegregating and pronouncing blacks as equal. The individual is the only one who can change their own ideas and thoughts, no court can do this.

2) The Civil Rights movement was not able to desegregate housing and residential areas which had long before been created and defined so as to separate lower income blacks from higher income whites who saw blacks as unworthy of living in their neighborhoods.

3) Ever increasing incarceration rates of blacks, due mainly to drugs and other forms of survival that have arisen in low income, "ghetto" areas due to a lack of opportunities and education has caused a depletion of potential workers and income in black neighborhoods.

4) There were many more limitations of the Civil Rights Movement, but these are a few of the key limitations.

The civil rights movement, despite the above limitations did provide the roots for many modern black and non white achievements, as well as female and homosexual achievements which has greatly changed american society.
