Martin Luther King Jr, practiced non-violent protest of racist laws in the 1960's?

Do you believe governments and people change with non-violent protest? Have you benefited from any of the changes in the U.S after the Civil Rights protests after 1960's? Do you believe there is no more racism?

I think Martin Luther King would be spinning in his grave if he knew who is out here fighting for civil rights these days.
Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are setting the civil rights movement BACK 50 years with their actions.
Course theres still racism
There always will be.
Being perpetuated by people of all colors as well.

Of course it still exists, but there are laws against discrimmination and programs that aim to decrease and eliminate it. Anyone who has gone to a mixed race school, sat in a mixed race restaurant or been to a hospital that serves all races has been directly effected. And that is everyone in the country.

People and government do change with nonviolent protest. South Africa is another example, India is another.

I have benefited from changes in the US, as a more integrated society benefits everyone.

I still believe there is a lot of racism.

You will never completely end racism. It is like sin or crime or the bubonic plague, you can fight it and control it, but it will always be with us in some form. The world is a lot different place now than it was in the early 1960's. A lot has changed, there may be a lot left that needs to change; but it is still a vast difference between now and then.

Racism still exists especially in a LOT of the southern states... however, it has improved even in the south GREATLY since the 1960's... For example. in the 1960's black people were NOT allowed to sit in the front of a bus or share a bathroom with white people or eat in the same area of a restaurant and were turned away from SOME restaurants in the 1960's.... They were turned down for jobs that they were just as qualified for as the white people who applied AND they were treated in most cases like second class citizens... they could only live in homes in CERTAIN SECTIONS of a town or city and their kids went to all black schools... Although it was VERY DIFFICULT to be a black man or woman back then... it is BETTER now but still not totally right... maybe hopefully some day it will be right---but without people like Martin Luther King, Jr. a lot of the benefits the black people have today would not be theirs... sadly to say...it should NOT have taken peace marches and demonstrations to get people to be treated like PEOPLE!!!!

have i benefited no i have not. no more racism? no blacks and their white apologists are the most racists of all see AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/
