“you will notice a relatively intact black family and much more of a “can do” attitude than today.”
Actually, blacks were already under the gun for their out of wedlock child bearing. If I recall correctly the 1950’s report stated that number was already 33% by then.
“There was simply not the same hatred against whites.”
There was. They simply didn’t have the avenues to express it. Tapping that hatred was easy to during the building of the Great Society and it continues today. The white KKK is small potatoes compared to the Black KKK of today.
I agree with what you are saying, generally speaking. However, those things, including the hate, are worse today then back then.
