but more than whites by a long shot even pre LBJ
1962 black illegitimacy was 20 percent or so...a quarter what it is not but pretty high for back then
for whites less than ONE PERCENT...imagine that ...less than n one in a hundred white children were born out of wedlock
and pre Roe as well...and pre pill more or less
astounding
black culture has had problems since Reconstruction but LBJ and the Dems and cooperating GOP...and there were plenty of them btw contrary to the canards tossed about here...made it much much worse
they also harmed poorer whites too but no one focuses on that
before LBJ there was much less distinction party wise ...both were fairly liberal in spending
Dixiecrats were obviously more socially conservative as were the Buckley-Goldwater-Reagan GOP who all opposed King and the 1960s racial redress stuff which made the wonderful world we now inhabit possible
I’m curious Wardaddy. Since you lay some of our modern problems at the feet of the “racial redress stuff” from the 1960’s, how do you think it should have gone? What should have been done differently from a racial standpoint?
I was looking at historic crime statistics for Detroit-even before the civil rights era, the riots (and the ensuing white flight), liberal policies which destroyed the family, blacks committed crimes, including violent crimes (including black-on-white crimes) well beyond their proportion of the population.
