Post MLK we got Black mayors such as Marion Berry and Maynard Jackson who helped Black folks immensely. Eventually our politics started to stagnate what went wrong?
How did Black politics fail the last 50 years post civil rights and voting rights act? What should we have done better?

not the politics.
our people fought in those streets for the opportunity to compete...
generations after havent competed .

The issue is that in cities like DC and Atlanta black middle class actually got what they asked for.
Separation from our enemies should’ve been prioritized. Instead, we opted to be WITH them. THAT is why we’re in a fukked up situation.
Just think about that for 5 minutes.
Everything we were subjected to after is because as a group we CHOSE to stay here and prayed for things to get better… in their system, speaking their language, using their money, voting for their politicians.
Sounds insane when you think about it.

Gotten into A.M radio and other platforms to talk about politics , just like republicans been doing .
Have the black version of rush limbaugh but pro-black , to increase black people’s interest in politics . No reason southern states should be solidly red .

Legal segregation would have continued to be a negative for us. We could worked together without legal segregation

Not separated if you pay taxes so that little Dillion and little Suzie can go to the best schools while your schools are crumbling with poor infrastructure.
Not separated if the local mayor and sheriff can imminent domain your entire neighborhood and move you up out of there and relegate you to the poorest sections of the city/state.
Not separated if you can't find work and found outside with little money in your pockets and you're arrested and jailed for vagrancy (check: Vagrancy Act of 1866).
We were separated from basic human decency and the resources that white people enjoyed and built their middle class and fortune 500 companies on.
you sound like a c00n/tether - we'd be in a much better position to build if we weren't tryna be mixed in with pig skins - would we have white people fully out of our mix? no, but, like i said, we'd be in a much better position today

The next step of political evolution would be forming and funding lobby groups to promote and protect interests of the group.
That didnt happen.

So just so we’re clear, you’re saying fighting to end segregation and be able to partake in the economy to the full extent of the law was a bad thing?

Cause you know america left black americans alone while we were separated from them with de facto AND de jure segregation.
Black wall street was destroyed while not even bothering them at all. Separate but equal didn't work then and will not work now.
