re: Heard an interesting take about "segregation" from someone who lived through it

segregation did indeed suck and was so pervasive the few white folks in rural Louisiana even got to understand the actual impact on black families. In the 50-60's. period of time, there were separate seating in churches, busses , restaurants etc. Separate grade school/high schools were in place and high school never played the black school in sports.
Folks trying to give personal opinions on better or worse in that period are severely limited in what the other side was experiencing.

Like so many things the Government improves - there was a problem and they fixed it to benefit government. They never addressed the issue.
Instead of fixing the school in the black neighborhood they sent a message that the school was not worth fixing. We must move you out of your community every day and place you in a better community.
The major problem was freedom of individual movement and equal opportunity. They created self doubt, self hate and reliance on government.

Nobody wants to ask what happened to the unprecedented wave of prosperity for Black Americans during the Harlem Renaissance, Black Wall Street, etc.
How did we go from that to the strife experienced leading up to the Civil Rights movement of the late 50s-early 60s?
