The thing is, before the welfare state and other policies designed to hold them back, their numbers were actually BETTER than the population as a whole - they would probably be the wealthiest and most prosperous communities but for Dem policies - the same party that has held them back for centuries in one way or the other by design.

I’m not sure they were doing better, but they were certainly holding their own. I know that Dr. Sowell has pointed out where they (blacks) were doing better than whites (in NYC, I think), but I’m not sure overall. In any case, the Democrats took care of destroying that Progress with the Welfare state, as we all know.
