@Mephistopheles thread's title is a misrepresentation of Coli's militant views. Coli militants never say black people were unequivocally "better off during the Jim Crow era". You're arguing against a claim we never made is a STRAWMAN.
What Coli militants ACTUALLY CLAIM is that certain aspects of the segregation era and segregation itself is better for black people than the integration alternative. This is a nuanced view, not a wholesale one which promulgates everything which occurred during Jim Crow was "better for black people" (particularly poverty). What Coli militants CLAIM is that segregation itself was and is good for black people, as it led to better marriage rates, Black Wall Street, better black families, more race loyalty, etc. Coli militants NEVER SAID AND NEVER SAY that poverty was and is good for blacks. Where Mephistopheles makes his mistake is in assuming Coli Militants say things they never said, and in presuming that segregation means poverty.
Contrary to Mephistopheles' hidden assertions, black segregation itself does not imply or mean poverty anymore than Sweden's segregation has meant poverty or Japan's segregation has meant poverty. Just like poverty does not mean poverty in all white neighborhoods or in North Dakota, segregation does not mean or imply poverty for BLACKS either. Assuming such is wrongheaded thinking. Thus, in recognition of all black segregation offers--in addition to a chance to be wealthy and successful--Coli militants believe segregation is black people's best option.
"Because, um welfare and integration and (some shyt about single mothers and feminism)."
Who came up with that dumb shyt?
