It clearly wasn’t the same, but the disparity in wedlock between blacks and whites back then isn’t even in the same universe as it is now...it was far, far closer back then, and it is borne out by statistics.
I simply didn’t think I or the other poster were falling into any kind of cultural relativity trap. We were speaking from the basis of the available statistics.
I love you but the disparity in 1962 was 20 times higher illegitimacy rates for blacks than whites
Now the black rate is only 4 times that of whites
Because whites have grown less bound by marriage
I did admit that I too knejerk about race and other minorities
It’s gotten ingrained in nearly all of us and we need to shake it
