Change is hard, sometimes very hard, very hard to accept - no matter the cause or reason, right or wrong. But life is about moving forward more than looking back.

You are of course right, and my life has not been a misery ever since. But I did want to bring out that racial segregation/integration has hurt whites as well as blacks, and usually the ones less able to afford to make things all better for a long time after they are forced to move by racial unrest, relocation or animus. The elites plan these great schemes; the lower and middle classes pay the price.

I totally agree, and did not mean to minimize your concerns.

The elites do act in ways that often seem callous, and I can say we are never sure if consequences of their actions were (a) understood and ignored (callousness) or (b) never thought of or considered (ignorant dumb asses with more authority than they should have). I imagine all their errors have been some of each. The bigger problem is that sometimes, no matter the cause, no matter the motive, recovery is hard or never realized for generations.
