“Even before civil rights, blacks, according to their proportion of population, still had higher out-of-wedlock rates than whites, and higher crime rates”
Actually, going back farther, blacks actually had lower rates of crime and out-of-wedlock births than some ethnic whites in the US. And many of those blacks had, themselves been slaves in their youth.
But surprisingly, they didn’t let themselves become obsessed with bitterness, didn’t turn to drugs, didn’t blame the rest of society for their bad start in life, and didn’t break up the family unit.
That was left for the spoiled children of the ‘60s.
True, but going from 19 to 78% is a national tragedy.
There is no way a society can function like that.
