Why are you using 1940 numbers? In 1969, before the Great Society effect, it was 54%.

AI fed him the numbers.

1. Increased Dependency and Welfare TrapsPrograms allegedly subsidized single motherhood and reduced incentives to work or marry by making welfare a "way of life" rather than temporary aid. Thomas Sowell and others linked this to rapid changes in family structure.

en.wikipedia.org

The black family (which had endured slavery and discrimination with relatively stable two-parent rates) saw sharp rises in single motherhood post-1960s, correlating with welfare expansions that often penalized marriage or earnings. Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned of this in his 1965 report.

washingtonpost.com

Long-term: Dependency metrics rose; some analyses show minimal progress in self-sufficiency for working-age adults despite trillions spent.

On paper, that seems wonderful. The big question is: are they better educated now than in 1965? We see report after report demonstrating that a large percentage of HS graduates (of all races) cannot read above a 3rd grade level, cannot do basic math, and are woefully ignorant of basic historical facts.


Liberals faked the gains by dropping standards. Dummies like RFK don’t understand it.

You’re showing all the improvements starting before the Great Society legislation.

Liberals do not have the capacity and common sense to think responsibly.

However I don’t pretend to speak for African American posters - I would like to hear your thoughts on how these reforms have improved your life.


You and your friends must be celebrating yourselves this Juneteenth, as you do everyday, for being the saviors of the black man. I salute you in your never ending quest to forever view black people as lesser, incapable people’s that need you to protect them

Fagot arse loser ;)

Welfare state broke their families. More kids, more tax refund. Same with white trash. Same with illegals


In the early 1960's, the track to having kids was to finish HS, find work, get married and have baby.

Soon after the track was for many couples to have a baby the government paid for and then maybe get married.

If you want to know how racist the left is have them explain to you how successful the last 60 years have been for blacks.

Are you saying the curriculum was dumbed down or that learning occurred?

Lowered expectations =

So in both education and poverty, blacks were improving dramatically BEFORE The Great Society.


The end of institutionalized and cultural discrimination opened doors for the black community. That is what helped reduce poverty.

LBJ's "Great Society" was a toxic cultural trap that destroyed most black two parent homes. Boys need a father, and LBJ and associates took that father out of many families with their graft minded give-aways.
