people exaggerate how good the black community was during segregation

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Like most things regarding black folks, it’s more nuanced than people try to make it.

I think desegregation was a bad idea and did nothing for the black community, howrcer nikkas act like the black community was in good shape. yes there were black businessas and black professionals. but those businesses still lacked adequate funding and were small mom and pop stores, there few large black companies with a large amount of capital for further expansion. Housing was still shoddy and neglected by cities and white and c00n landlords. There was still high crime because again black businesses weren't large enough to give employment to all the young men and they turned to crime to make a living.

the civil rights movement should have been focused on reparations which would have been invested in the black community. white people who funded the movement made sure it was focused on segregation, because they knew desegregation would do nothing to challenge white supremacy, and would placate blacks who thought they finally made it because they could live side by side with cacs.

This is so true. With the exception of fewer broken homes, the quality of life for black folks on average was generally worse off before the civil rights act in every category:income, education, lifespan, health, crime, racism, etc.
