I mean is it that hard to admit that blacks were treated like dog sh#$ for DECADES after they were freed?
I don't believe I ever made such a statement. They were treated badly, very badly.

I can see it as a result of government intervention, but hardly being repressed

You're words. Sure you added "not lately at least", but you just seemed to be denying that the treatment of blacks for the past 100 years had little to do with how they acted, whereas the government giving handouts was the primary reason.
