Krauthammer’s Take: Struggles Civil Rights Movement Had Are Over

The prestige and glory of the original civil rights movement and its heroes has caused people to believe the struggles they engaged in are still ongoing, Charles Krauthammer said Wednesday night.

“In those days, the struggle was terrible laws, a legal system of segregation and discrimination. That was abolished in that generation. That fight is over,” Krauthammer said during his regular panel appearance on Special Report.

He went on to say that social issues were the key issues of the day for the current civil rights movement.

“It is not changing laws, it’s not stand your ground,” Krauthammer said, instead pointing to wrecked families and lackluster education that harm the lives of “young people in the ghettos.”
