And today the descendants of the freed slaves are all the time having a big shoot-em-up in all the major U.S. cities. Way to go Union!! Maybe Johnny Reb knew something you didn’t.

Today's African American population is circa 50 million, 15% of the total population, which is the same as it was in 1860.

On the economic scales, African Americans sort out as:

  1. 16% in poverty = 8 million
  2. 30% Working Class = 15 million
  3. 45% Middle Class = 23 million
  4. 9% Upper Class = 4 million
The percentage of blacks living in poverty was 55% in 1959.

These numbers don't look so bad, but what does look bad is black children growing up in mothers-only households increased from 12% in 1950 to 54% today.

The blame for that lies on politicians who provide welfare payments to women for only so long as they remain unmarried.

You are not allowed to point this out on all major news sources. This information is censored and dismissed.

I watched a video from Thomas Sowell who pointed out that in the 1950s, black families were doing all right, and they had none of this violence and indolence we see nowadays. He blames LBJ's "great society" programs for the destruction of the black families, and I think he is absolutely right about this.
