As I mentioned before this started after the civil war. Black people at that time began to experience progress economically and in politics when running for office. Multiple things have transpired during that time that negatively affected black people. Here are a few examples that contributed to this broad movement.

Great Compromise of 1877 - federal troops were pulled from multiple southern states as part of the deal of Rutherford B. Hayes being president. This ultimately led to the beginning of the Jim Crow era.

Isaiah T. Montgomery and the 1890 Mississippi Constitutional Convention - Isaiah T. Montgomery, who was the founder of the all black town of Mound Bayou MS participated in this constitutional convention and ultimately supported the version of the MS constitution at the time that ultimately disenfranchised black people from voting. When this constitution survived legal challenges in the Supreme Court, other states began to adopt similar measures.

I noticed you left Lyndon Johnson's New Deal and Great Society, whose negative affects on the black community has far outweighed the other 2 you mentioned, and is championed and continued today by your Democrat party.

Correct. Primary among them being black people voting for democrats who continue to support the same policies that have negatively affected the black population since the 1960s.

Unless of course you want to tell me the current situation among the inner city urban black population is because of white people?
