REELBLACK...I am just curious.... after seeing the segregation in those years in the south, and seeing where African Americans are today compared to the progress they made under segregation, independent to run their inner society as they seen fit, and to have lost that by any societal metric of today..Graduation rates, intact families, out of marriage births..etc.... What is your opinion?

It’s a wonder anyone made it through. And a lot of the ones who made it through did so by killing their own....I am not deliberately being ignorant, just wondering what you are saying here. I would rather you explain, than me jump to the wrong conclusion.

I should say, Desegregation itself wasn’t a bad thing. Who wants to be told they can’t eat, dine or live wherever they can afford. The problem was that most of the wealth ( both financial and intellectual) was drained from the community. Black owned businesses disappeared. Successful companies were bought up by corporations. Those who wanted to start new businesses were often denied loans by white banks. Black intelligence no longer went to HBCUs, but were lured by Ivy League schools and Division 1s, where their presence helped boost their endowment, while they themselves endured a different type of indoctrination that often did not include Race Pride. Also it seems the era of The Black Politician who fought for Black People ran its course pretty quickly. True, we weren’t voting for people with the integrity of MLK, Malcolm X or even Tupac, but it seems it was very easy to set up or corrupt them once they got in the catbird’s seat. I think about Marion Berry. Wilson Goode And recently former Philly DA Seth Williams, who literally got busted for taking a bribe of a sofa. I know Black politicians typically represent districts without a lot of wealth, but a sofa??? But the biggest mistake was with Black folks collectively into thinking we reached some mountaintop.

We prey on each other to survive. We sell drugs to our children and grandparents.We literally murder our brothers and sisters over "territory" We glamorize and promote our worst behavior (with the help of the music and film industry) for money or (via social media) attention. Too many of us operate at our most base level. Some of it is by design. Some of it is because we have been given permission not to love ourselves.

To anybody who think things to be "better" I ask "BETTER IN WHAT?" LET'S GET SOME CONTEXT-SPECIFICS HOW BOUT, P O W E R R E L A T I O N S ? (we seem to maladaptively automate our subjects to social-relations only) Black people can you truly THINK that having a past of owning CITIES (all Black) can "compare" the LESSER to a PRESENT of having little to NO economic worth to the society in which you're residing? I feel POWER RELATIONS to be the more important of our issues with them....not SOCIAL. We CANNOT be THAT gone....I KNOW niggaz IS gone, but we CAIN'T be THAT gone. We ONLY got whatever issues we DO got because our POWER in NEPOTISMIC SELF SUFFICIENCY was SABOTAGED...while watching all non-black people do it around US and gain POWER. I'm 40 I been having the SAME logical PERSONAL view since 2nd grade after a SCHOOL history class, (nobody forced this truth to my head...it was simply a inquiry of LOGIC) If they are ANTI-BLACK ENRICHMENT they HAD to "let" you in THEIR schools and centers of "education"...your brains were working "TOO" efficiently too "quickly for their taste. They didn't want the competition so close AFTER 300 years of enslavement...OUR RESILIENCE TRIGGERS THEM. This is not a good thing they are UNABLE to "change" that phenomenon within them. Why can't y'all let these people GO?!?!?!?!???? If they was so bad in the past...HOW do you rate the present of any GOODNESS or ADEQUATE show of "change" of "goodness" being expressed in CHARACTER.......While DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUESSSSSSSSSSE with these SPECIFIC people?????????!!!!!!!!!! How are we measuring the changes that prevent you from questioning how THEY negatively view the VALUE of your PERSON and PEOPLE in THEIR societies? What of the POWER-relations...not only the SOCIAL-relations.
