I don’t want to demean black Americans, and there are many, who live the American lifestyle and enjoy it’s rewards. It is the entire left wing myth machine that has gotten away with blowing smoke, with the help of modern communications, about a world that does not exist.
You really hit on something there.
TV and the Great Society went hand in hand. Is there a connection? I think so. Great Society liberalism would've been impossible without the unprecedented propaganda machine that network TV was in all its aspects (sitcoms, dramas, as well as slanted news and ads).
But now the media environment is changing, to the benefit of conservatives.

True, but their percentage of the whole is very small. There are too few Sheriff Clarke’s and too many Michael Brown’s. As long as we allow “phony racism” to drive “public assistance,” the numbers won’t move much. I have watched over the past twenty years or more here in California how the Black’s “teamed up” with the Mexicans to form a “political alliance,” which is now falling apart now that the Mexicans have become a political force. They don’t need the Black’s any longer and as a consequence, Black influence is seriously on the wane here. And as we continue to have high housing prices, Blacks are being forced out of our cities. Whole areas of San Francisco that used to be Black ghettos, are now torn down and rebuilt to house the folks from Google, Apple and Facebook. So now the only “view” Blacks have is out the back window of the bus taking them elsewhere.
