So what part of phils interview of black folks civil rights offended u?
I think his implication that Blacks were better off and happy, etc. prior to the Civil Rights movement is a nostalgic revision of what life was like then. There was segregation, lynchings, open discrimination, dehumanizing degradation, Jim Crow laws, voting laws meant to prohibit them from voting, etc. It was akin to someone stating "prior to emancipation ... they were happy and not complaining". It just has a tone about it that is insensitive and blind to the injustices that were being inflicted upon one sector of our society.
