Blacks thrived under Jim Crow laws

When the country had Jim Crow laws, black people were far better off living in segregated communities.

I grew up in an era when "separate but equal" was the law of the land. In my town there was a dividing line between where the colored people lived and the white people lived.

The colored side of town commonly referred to as Ni**er town had its own economy. Meaning there were grocery stores, barber shops, clothes stores, funeral homes, gas stations, and of course churches. Colored town had two all black elementary and one high school. During football season there was a football jamboree at the coliseum where all of the schools, including the black schools, had a play off for town champion. The school that won went on to compete for state champion.

In those days, black households consisted of two parent families with good morals, and the kids were raised right. There wasn't drive by shootings and gang banging.

But then the white northern liberals pushed for integration and Jim Crow laws were stricken from the books. In my town the black only schools were shut down, and kids started being bussed to other schools. The area where black owned businesses had once thrived was torn down and replaced with shopping centers and project housing. The black self sufficient community no longer existed. Replaced by dependence on welfare, food stamps, and free public housing. Single mothers raising children became the norm. And now gangs and drug dealers rule the streets where black people live.
17 percent of black kids had single parent families.
Today 77 percent of black kids have single parent families.
Blacks prior to 1960 were employed at a higher rate than whites.

Leftist policies..the ones that brought us huge inner city ghettos, planned parenthood on every corner, sex edumuncation in the schools, and a constant attack on traditional family values and Christianity..not to mention entitlement programs which target and demean the colored communities...have decimated the black culture in this country just as it decimated the Indian culture.

These are simply lies.

For African Americans, 50 years of high unemployment
Economic Snapshot • By Algernon Austin

In 2011, the African American unemployment rate averaged 15.8 percent – twice the white average of 7.9 percent. This disparity has persisted for the last half-century. In fact, the black unemployment rate has consistently been roughly twice the white rate. Data from the Census Bureau indicates this 2-to-1 relationship dates back to at least 1960 (Fairlie and Sundstrom 1999). (Note: The figure below uses Bureau of Labor Statistics data on African American unemployment going back to Jan. 1972.)

While whites have experienced periods of high unemployment during the 1970s, early 1980s, and in the past few years, their highest rates are in the range of the lowest unemployment rates for African Americans in the last 50 years. Thus, for African Americans, the last 50 years have been marked by extremely high unemployment occasionally interrupted by periods of merely high unemployment. At no point can we say that blacks have experienced a low unemployment rate.

Black Americans lost their culture and their sanity when democrats started subsidizing criminality, stupidity, and laziness.

The dems have been subsidizing criminality and stupidity every since the Dems came up with the Black Codes and Jim Crow. That was prior to them switching places with the repubs in the southern strategy.

So whites must have never had a culture or sanity.
