Really sad. Decades ago, when my kids were (briefly) in the SF public school system, I worked one summer as a cafeteria aide so I could take them to the summer program and then take them home afterwards.
The school offered a free breakfast, theoretically for the children, but then somebody in SF said that adults should be able to go too. So they opened it to adults. We had a huge line out front every morning, The neighborhood was mostly Hispanic, but virtually all the people in line were black. And they’d get very nasty if you’d run out of their favorite breakfast treat by the time they got there. And they showed up in their nightgowns or jammies and slippers.
It was very sad because many of these people were the children of people who had come to SF from the South during WWII to work in the shipyards. But after the war, many of the jobs disappeared. SF was very segregated, even legally, and I worked with a black teacher who had was a brilliant woman and had wanted to teach high school - but until Brown vs Bd of Ed, blacks had only been allowed to teach the primary grades in SF. Tell that to the liberals out there!
Still, they were moving along, and then the Great Society came along and totally disempowered blacks and reduced them to arguing about their favorite miserable breakfast in what was essentially a line of beggars (btw, they all got food stamps and special meal assistance, but they didn’t know how to cook and sold the food stamps for other things). Probably even LBJ didn’t mean it to end up that badly.
I think LBJ knew exactly what he was doing. He hated blacks.
Frankly, I don't think he cared.

Nope. Somehow I don't think he cared. All he wanted was the results and so far he's gotten them.
