Similar to 1968, racial tensions - between blacks and whites, particularly - are at a breaking point. But, I'm not sure they've ever been as bad as they are here in 2015. Take for example, "After at least 129 people were killed in coordinated attacks on Friday in Paris, several protesters took to Twitter to express anger at 'losing the spotlight' in the media.
"'Racist white people kill me, you want everyone to have sympathy for YOUR tragedy, but you have none for ours,' wrote user Melanin Monroe under the Twitter handle @NeonElectricity in a post that has since been removed."*
But, the difference between 1968 and now was we still had a federal and state system that were pretty much in agreement with each other and a federal system that still valued the rule of law as set out in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, et al.
Now, even that's went down the crapper with the puppet government we have now.
