Yes. Totally. He passed civil rights, Medicare, Medicaid, and some laws pertaining to education, consumer protection, and the environment. He has the greatest legislative record of any President between 1945 and 2009. That's quite an achievement. For Vietnam, he did screw up there, but I can understand why he made the decision to escalate the war back then. I mean, it's obviously easier to see things in hindsight than at the moment.

Horrible President. His policies destroyed many families, particularly black ones, and led to urban decay. We still feel the negative effects of his policies today, despite many having been repealed or changed.

If many blacks wanted to divorce in the post-Civil Rights era, why shouldn't they have been able to? Besides, didn't the divorce rate for all races/ethnicities go up in the 1960s/1970s, not just for blacks?
