    The idea that the entire country was on the razors edge of a “race ware” in which the “coloreds” were going to topple American society was very much a product of the media in the 1960s

    That was a product of their LSD-addled brains.

      I mean. Sure, they were addled because the CIA was dumping LSD all over the country and it just totally coincidentally served the narrative that kept money going into the military industrial complex.

      That aside it was a narrative that was pushed by the media into every home in the United States.
