    You realize that also means they got to suffer until those improvements happened? And then, of course, ending Jim Crow didn’t really fix everything. For Black boomers things got a little better for a while and then got worse again.

      so it would be better to suffer and not to improve. As bad as jim crow was getting out of it was a good thing and going back to it is not a good thing.

        Zero clue how you got this from my comment??? Ending Jim Crow was good, but claiming that Black boomers had it easy is fucked.

          they did not have it easy they just lived in a better time when things were getting better. Right now we are coasting on things from that period and before and much has been reveresed.

            If you live during a time when things get better that, by definition, means you also lived during a time when things used to be worse.
