Blacks were doing very well in this country up until 1965 or so. Yes, there was prejudice, yes there was injustice, yes there were bad laws -- but blacks had Strong families, good schools, good communities. They had overcome slavery. All that was needed was for the white power structure (Democrats) to stop using the law to keep blacks down.

My observations as well.

But the Democrats wouldn't do that. Instead, they created the Great Society. The Democrats destroyed black families, schools and communities.

This played in with the Communist goals of destroying the family in America as well. Promoting infidelity and no-fault divorce were other parts of the assault, but more universally felt.

The Democrats destroyed functioning communities and herded people into Soviet style apartment blocks, and called it “urban renewal”. The Democrats then encouraged blacks to be happy on the dole, and chastised any who dared to take any initiative. I had seen this first hand while in college in Newark, NJ. Past Newark mayor Addonizio one time honestly admitted that it was to get the blacks out of sight, out of mind.
