Camden, Newark, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore.......So what happened in the interim? When did those Republican liberals become conservatives.
And most of them wll live to regret it.
Uncle Jeff Sessions will see to that.
It was not a liberal or conservative thing to extend human rights by ending slavery and pushing for equal Civil Rights. You ask what "happened" in the interim? Ask the Democrats who fought slavery abolition and civil rights..... they had an epiphany and realized that people are not individuals rather they are simply blocks of votes that simply need to be boxed in. That was the War on Poverty. Who's winning? Poverty is and the Black Family has been destroyed. No Liberal or Democrat can explain the correlation of the passing of the War on Poverty legislation that was supposed to help Blacks but we see higher unemployment and more single mother households vs. pre-War On Poverty legislation. Why is that? In advance, dispense with the "go back to pre-Civil Rights" or "Republicans fight proper funding" bullshit. Those are copout arguments devoid of any valid economic or social data. Civil Rights and War on Poverty were supposed to make things better. Are they or why / how did things worsen?
The war on poverty did not cause the dissolution of black families
The steady loss of manufacturing jobs in urban areas made it impossible for black males to support families like they used to
Nice try on the manufacturing job loss in urban areas. Outside of Detroit, what other areas are you referring?
Limited.
Which major city has good paying manufacturing jobs?
Once they left the cities, the work force was left behind
