What do you think was the biggest blow to the Black Community (1970s-80s)?

#BothSides have had an opportunity to fix this but #BothSides seem to believe in the policies to varying degrees because #BothSides are the ones primarily benefitting financially from it.

Yup.

I don’t think people realize there’s no recovering from this because as long as it’s there it’ll only keep draining and getting worse. It’s literally a system set up to make you lose the second you fall behind.

It’s why Reagonomics is so devastating.

Funny thing is people whine “but we need an alternative” however, it shouldn’t be hard to find something better given how shytty it is and dang near most ideas are better than “Give greedy people more money!”

Eliminating jobs and Reaganomics. People are happier when they can pay their bills. And hapoy peopleare less likely to turn to.hard drugs for comfort. Which is where the real addiction problems come in.

Contantly looking for an escape becomes a nasty habit.

Drugs, Factory Closures, Reaganomics.

"Rise of Feminism & Sexual Revolution" shouldn't even be an option.

Gloria Steinhem was a fed

Reaganomics. The effects of drugs and violence can be mitigated by a robust social safety and well regulated market

CRACK

As far as the thread

1. Reaganomics
2. Factory closures/NAFTA/etc
3. Sexual Revolution/Drugs (I'm gonna go with a tie here)

I tend to agree. We definitely faced things that hurt us economically.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

LOL at blaming the sexual revolution. Give that tired incel rhetoric a rest fellas. Some things are bigger than your need to blame everything on sex and this is one of those things.

 

[Yinny]

Drugs and dismantling of mental health resources

Ghettoes/ suburb creation

"Rise of Feminism & Sexual Revolution" shouldn't even be an option.

Feminism minus the Sexual Revolution should definitely be an option, friend.

The real answers is in the 60s when the government destablized all the revolutionary efforts by killing all the revolutionaries off and then they started calling it "post civil rights" because the government co'opted it with the "civil rights act". Made yall think that civil rights for black people back then was only about integration. They knew what they were doing. This impacted the baby boomers and GEN X who were born from the 60s to the late 70s.. yall see how gen x turned out. This is what MLK realized and was about to correct but the feds killed him.

Good points. That was definitely the first step to what eventually unfolded.

Reagonomics, easy.

Destroyed the Middle Class. That regular job ain’t getting shyt done anymore. Can’t even do what you love for a living unless it’s something high-paying.

Massive tax cuts to the wealthy thinking they’ll trickle that back to the people was such a stupid thing to fall for. You can’t trust a greedy little crap.

Built more brown nosers and bootlickers is all it did. “Hey don’t insult the boss! Don’t you want a pat on the head?! ”

40 years this “theory” has been wrecking us. At what point does this “theory” get marked as “incorrect”, we undo it and move on?

By the way, that graph doesn’t include Trump in 2016 and the damage that’s carried over into the 2020’s that we’re trying to fix. See how that looks.

We need to end it. A few people massively winning ain’t it.

You wouldn’t want paper like this?
