I grew up in the 50s in the South. It was pretty good. In my particular patch of the South the schools were integrated without any problems because of President Eisenhower. The Black weren’t different from the rest of us. They had 2 parents who disciplined them, their parents worked, went to church, and sporting events, they sat in the movie houses with everybody else. Many of their parents owned small businesses like groceries, drugstores, hardware stores, plumbing services, etc.

Then LBJ murdered JFK and MLK and it all changed almost over night. Out of fear from the riots White folk stopped patronizing Black businesses and most of them failed. Black unemployment rose and they were kept unemployed by the “War on Poverty” which really is a war on them. Changes to the tax code and welfare laws broke up their families. Now Black society is a mess.

All thanks to the DemonRAT party.

Roger that. The decline commenced in around ‘64 with the “great society” BS. Toss in 8 years of lyin’ king divisiveness and it’s only gotten worse at an accelerated pace. The oppressed in the U.S., for the most part, have not an inkling of what oppression is. The kneeling down should be to kiss the U.S. soil beneath you. Generally speaking.

Then LBJ murdered JFK and MLK and it all changed almost over night. ..................... You left out Bobby. The presidency is not Murder Inc. LBJ may have been a good ole southern boy, but I don’t think he was smart enough not to do in JFK or MLK. LBJ I am he sure loved blacks, if it was up to him personally, (You could probably include the Clintons on this one.) everyone would own one, and make them vote Democrat for 100 years. Seems like it worked. I wonder how Clooney spent the 50’s? LOL, he’s too young to be even born then. I tell you what it was like, compared to today, WE WERE FREE and HAPPY! As I tell people, buy anything today and divide it by ten, that’s what it cost us back then. If you were earning 5K a year, the 5K bought you everything you would spend 50K on today. Back then the MDs made house calls for $15 -$20. Another 50’s movie by people who missed it. They made the 57 Chev and Icon of the 50’s yet it was Ford that out sold Chevy that year. I lived in a mixed B/W area, their families were like ours, solid. You might say they had their own enclave, yes, but they were there before they built the area up. They were neighbors, and none of their children were a problem. In school they were getting good to great grades. (The ones I grew up with) They may have been Democrats, but who cared back then? The Libs were still around, they disliked IKE back then, especially when you have the Daily Worker as your main news feed. I’m sure we could trace their son’s and daughters that went into politics in the later years.

Exactly.Apart from racial issues that,it would seem,varied from place to place black households had a mother and father (married to each other),they had jobs,they worked hard at those jobs.

But the Rat Party knew better.Back then black "illegitimacy" might have been 10%...or even lower.Today it's closer to 80%.

It's well established that regardless of the child's color he/she has a better chance in life growing up with a mother *and* a father....at least one of whom is gainfully employed.
