“Economically and socially they’ll find themselves in a similar state as they were in during the 1940s and 50s, only this time they’ll only have themselves to blame.”

Somehow they will still manage to blame whites and racism.

IMHO blacks in Pittsburgh in the 40’s and 50’s were better off economically than they are today.

There were jobs for them in the mills and the mines. They paid pretty well (despite the fact that UNIONS screened them out from most of the plumb assignments). There were black owned businesses in the Hill District and other places that would later burn. And the levels of violent crime in those communities were nowhere near where they are today.

Yes, but in the New America, nobody will listen. The Baby Boomers are the only ones stupid enough to carry White Guilt and they'll all be dead. And since they're the same fools who tyrannize the media, that pendulum will also swing back right.

Now, those will be interesting days. Not good days, per se, but interesting.
