and black fathers lived in the homes with their children and the mothers of their children. Black men and women had jobs, careers, futures.And women had far fewer rights...gays had no rights and racism was rampant
We're told by today's left that right now is the most racist period in the history of the United States since slavery. And it might actually be true if you consider the hatred for straight white men today.
I was listening to Sonny Johnson (Sonny's Corner) on Patriot XM yesterday and she pointed out that as early as the 1870s until the 1960s, basically for a hundred years before Democrats decided they wanted to "help" black people, black people - no, not all of them but very many of them - had gone directly from the plantation to high finance, banking, manufacturing, working with all kinds of technical and skilled trades, black wall streets in many cities, etc. Not all black people were successful but neither were all white people.
And then came the Democrats, Johnson's Great Society, and the war on poverty.
She also points out how Republicans haven't a clue how to solve it politically. They may know the policies to solve it but are completely ignorant in how to partner with black communities to get anything done - and she's right.
But, the point is, in the 50s, Black Americans were, as a whole, much better off than they are today..... (sitting back and waiting for IM2. who wasn't live in the 50s. to tell me, who was alive in the 50s, what the 50s were like)
