They're worse off.
They didn't used to be like this. If LBJ and the Soviets had left them alone, they'd be normal working class Americans.

I agree. Blacks have been useful vehicles for elitist liberal democrats for decades. They’re certainly not better off for it.
They were not as bad then yes
But they have NEVER behaved equal to whites generally speaking in civilizational markers
Crimes like murder and rape and robbery and assault
Illegitimacy
And so forth exponentially greater than in the white community even before desegregation and entitlements
And whites then who lived in communities with large numbers of blacks like myself knew this which is why they feared their rise to power one day
Well here we are....”how do you like me now?”
It’s this way all over the world nearly everywhere save Bermuda and a few rich Caribbean nations
Blacks are not the only laggard racial or ethnic group....lets be fair
And I and my wife come from one.....”can I have tomahawk for 100 Art?”
It’s just how humanity ebbed and flowed
Yes and no. There's no doubt LBJ had a hand in destroying the black family unit, but let's be super frank: there has been a non stop crime spree by African Americans, beginning immediatlely upon emancipation and continuing to this day.
The antebellum writings of Robert E. Lee's wife are very illuminating on this matter.
Did you know a young Lincoln was attacked by rogue slaves and almost murdered?
Negroes were migrating from the Southland to the North in the 40s and 50s. They were becoming the new Immigrant class and working their way into mainstream White society, just as generations of Irishmen and Swedes and Czechs and Chinese had done. Then came LBJ and the War on Poverty which put a lid on their advancement and enculturation, permanently walling them off from the mainstream society, walling them into their urban ghettos. Instead of the ghettos being a steppingstone to the suburbs and uptown they became Reservations kept under control by the Welfare firewater of the do-gooders.
