Darker skin people are the most impoverished people in the world due to slavery, poor treatment and racist notions. Doesn’t matter if you got to France, UK, Haiti, Brazil, or Australia. They’re treated the worst in society. It’s like that for a reason, due to history and white supremacy.
“Blacks were doing better under the "racist system" of the 50s and 60s, the nuclear family was still intact, their average net worth was higher, the crime rate was lower and there was a real sense of community...”
In what sense, doing better? Not financially. Police abuse was even worse. In some states blacks were being lynche*.. couldn’t vote, be approved for loans, couldn’t use the same facilities or eat at the same restaurants as white people, couldn’t get the same jobs etc. Today is much better.. but still similar things happen on a lesser scale.
Ask a black person that was alive those times if it was better back then and I think you know what they’d tell you.
