No, it was never over. You see what your lying eyes want them to see, then you conveniently see no more. After civil rights and the voting rights, we had section 8. That didn't do anything but segregate Blacks again, putting them over "THERE." Do you know where "THERE" is? No ******* where, but out of the way from the norms of economic stability and advancement. After that, we had affirmative action, which was nothing but a conspiracy. White control and power knew it was created to fail. It's like hiring a conductor to drive a train, and the person has never been on a train before.
So no, there is no empirical evidence blacks have had this "every opportunity" you talk about. If blacks can't sing, dance, or play ball, most get left out.
I went to public school just as you, and blacks were there. Guess where they all lived? In government run housing, while I lived in a middle class white neighborhood. I watched the segregation and the racism unfold before my very eyes on a daily basis. And make no mistake, the whites wanted nothing to do with them. And they still don't to this day. Fifty years later, and it's the same old good ole boy white privilege system it has always been. The local banks do business with the white businesses, and give out loans for nice homes to whites. The white businesses are doing as they always have. Hire white friends and family to keep family business traditions going. It's always been this way all across the deep south where I am from. The racism and the segregation runs deep and it's all across the south.
