I remember some of that stuff from back then. There was a flier they distributed somewhere around the Kennedy-Nixon election year (in which the "true-believers" recommended not voting for either because both would sell-out whitey) in which it depicted a beautiful little white girl walking hand-in-hand to school with a horrible caricature of a black boy. The caption read something to the effect of this is what would happen when schools integrated. Aside from the racial caricature, they were right!

What makes it particularly ironic is that the more "liberal" whites, who supported integration, were all about reassuring that racial mixing in school would not result in interracial social relations. They really believed that parental supervision could overcome basic biology -- WRONG! Since time immemorial all cultures have realized that the only way to ensure tribal purity is annihilation of the subordinate tribe. The most recent example is Rwanda, I guess. Perhaps Darfur. That's also why God told Joshua (or Moses? I forgot) to kill all of the various tribes of non-Hebrew people living in the Promised Land. The need to maintain purity transcends mercy.

This also what makes The American experiment in equality such a novel approach to philosophy of government. We don't share some tribal adherence to tribal purity, we share a common philosophy of government which we believe all races, tribes and cultures hold in common. That is the meaning of these sentences,

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
