Sorry for confusing “integrated” and “segregated.” I was in a hurry. My bad.
Saying that the 50s were good is textbook begging the question. I don’t imagine you’re any kind of racist or that you wish for a return to Jim Crow. I don’t know the first thing about you and I presume that you’re like most people in that you wouldn’t welcome such a thing. But a blanket statement like “The 50s were good” is very dependent on experience. Many black people in many parts of this country lived in abject fear for their lives for no other reason than being black. That’s just a fact.
Most blacks also had fathers in the 1950’s
