It got far worse after the corruption created by the Civil War.
On the outset of that war was it poorly managed maybe ?? Otherwise in the vision that was supposed to benefit all who were supposed to be winning recipients of that war, did they drop the ball ??
From that period came some great black Americans who through their contributions to SOCIETY led the way for hundreds of thousands of other's to find their American dream as well.
Ok let's go forward to the 60s.
I just can't figure out what happened to the Martin Luther King believer's who showed up as these very decent human beings wanting the same things that the white's of that period had on display culturally in front of them, otherwise sporting certain standards and cultures that they also liked and wanted to be part of, and did adopt successfully certain aspects of it in spite of the difficulties faced in it all.
It was that the white's had lifestyle's, hopes and dreams that the black family wanted also. That is my thinking, and it still goes on today, so where is the disconnect occuring in it all ? White's aren't holding black's back today, otherwise if anything most citizen's of any color are their own worst enemies if they aren't successful these days.
Yes pockets of America were terrible with racism, but in many areas of the country black's carved out their way of life in the areas of their choice, and they became very successful in life regardless of the hills they climbed, and the valley's they descended into and back out of....... That was the example of the American spirit within them, otherwise that pushed them in the same ways that it pushed the white's in this nation.
Yes racism existed in a big way between the two culture's, and the fight for equality was still in play big time throughout various times, but how did the black culture begin to rot out so bad that it turned into what is being seen in places like Chicago and other such places today ?
These black's in these gang's or rather these black's being thug's with their underwear showing aren't anything that King would approve of today. Is it a combination of economic issue's, brainwashing, societal cultural rot, celebrating gang culture on TV out of hollyweird, social media brainwashing, leftist influence, drugs, mental illness caused by hopelessness, feelings of being left behind in the modern age, phobias, inadequacies, otherwise what is it ?? Oh and white's are heading down the same roads like a firetruck looking for hell's fire without any water on board.
The nation needs desperately to listen to the people within these culture's, and begin to understand what is needed to help fix this stuff. Trump had his ears wide open, and began to help big time, but the leftist couldn't stand it, so they had to destroy TRUMP before he could be known as the best president for all the good people in this COUNTRY.
Are the leftist politician's and leftist culture the problem ? Hmmmmm.
