Proud Liberal
What if you're an Afro and you have no potential to earn more than just enough to cover basic room and board in a plantation stable if not for government handouts and coercion of businesses?
blacks were actually making very rapid economic progress in the
1950's. It was only the near genocidal liberal Great Society that stopped and reversed the process.
Really?
"The unemployment level of blacks was high in post-war America, doubled that of whites. Poverty affected more than fifty percent of blacks even in the solid post-war boom America. Many black children came from poverty stricken or broken homes and attended schools that lacked in supplies such as books, magazines, writing tables, or even pens and pencils. By the mid 1950s racial discontent was at an unusual high. For blacks in America, the seeds of malcontent had been a long time sprouting. The roots took firm hold after World War II. Having come back from World War II in 1945, many black male GIs looked forward to starting as prosperous a life as their white male counterparts."
