I have heard the same sentiments expressed more than once by black friends and acquaintances, that the black community was more unified and that black people cherished their families and stuck together more during segregation. Similarly, the era of the Depression and World War Two is now commonly referred to as that of the Greatest Generation.

Yet who but a fool or someone trying to smear a political opponent would think that such sentiments mean that one is nostalgic for slavery, Jim Crow, war, and depression?

Except for the very fortunate, life is full of unfairness and adversity. Surviving them requires one to be tough and to find strength where one can, which usually means family and friends. That is a lesson that transcends race and the particulars of an individual life.

What is implied in these comparisons is that black people cant handle more freedom.

The fact that you can’t see that is sad.
