The President’s National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders—known as the Kerner Commission—releases its report, condemning racism as the primary cause of the recent surge of riots. Headed by Governor Otto Kerner of Illinois, the 11-member commission was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in July 1967 to uncover the causes of urban riots and recommend solutions.
The report, which declared that “our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal,” called for expanded aid to African American communities in order to prevent further racial violence and polarization. Unless drastic and costly remedies were undertaken at once, the report said, there would be a “continuing polarization of the American community and, ultimately, the destruction of basic democratic values.”
The report identified more than 150 riots or major disorders between 1965 and 1968 (including the deadly Newark and Detroit riots) and blamed “white racism” for sparking the violence—not a conspiracy by African American political groups as some claimed.
Statistics for 1967 alone included 83 people killed and 1,800 injured—the majority of them African Americans—and property valued at more than $100 million damaged or destroyed.

Now we have a country that consists of ethnic soup that wants a handout instead of contributing anything.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
The report concluded in 1968 the US is headed towards two societies, one White, one Black. 46 years later proved them right
Major and medium size cities are unsafe for Whites. Thank you all Libtards for your leadership. Blacks are now killing Blacks at a genocidal levels.
Hispanics are now the second largest demographic group at > 16%, Blacks will begin to lose political power.
Illegals soon to take over as 2nd largest demographic group. FJB.
Then Otto Kerner went to jail for corruption…..
As usual the government was, is and continues to be the problem.
WE BUILT THAT !
Translation: We had a giant nigger problem we weren’t prepared for because our forefathers were slave owning idiots who didn’t teach us properly to begin with. Our solution was basically give them an ice cream cone and sit them in a corner for a time out. We were then further shocked and appalled when the food fight broke out!
We plead gross stupidity, incompetence and just a pinch of malice aforethought, your “honor”.
To say the affair was handled poorly would be my greatest understatement of all time. Fuck the velvet glove! Just give’ em the iron fist!
Gib ’em moar food stamps.
We have one society and it’s Jewish. Therein lies the problem.
