This reply had nothing due to racism. This was about middle class economics and global American dominance.
OHHHHH, so when
YOU pine for the past, it's not about racism. But when other people pine for the past, it's obviously about racism. Got it.
Yes, single income nuclear family households on the 50-60s was a very racist thing, during that period a white male with a good work ethic had no problem finding a job that supported that lifestyle pretty much anywhere in the country, while a non white didn't have those opportunities, except for industrial areas where labor was needed. White flight to the suburbs, etc.
Statistics to back that up?
Because I have some statistics for you, if you want to talk about historical economic trends:
From 1960 to 1968 (continuing a trend from 1950 on), the percentage of black people living under the poverty line dropped by half, from ~60% to ~30%.
From 1960 to 1968, (continuing a trend that again, started in the 50s) Black incomes saw large growth, not only in absolute size, bat as a percentage of white incomes, from 60% to 70% of white income.
Blacks were making massive gains in income, employment rates, poverty escaping, during this
horrific time "when whitey was making sure they didn't have any opportunities."
Some people may need to take off rose colored glassed when looking at the past. I think you need to take off the soot-covered ones.
