For all of Clinton's faults and flaws, the black community had doors opened under him that were practically welded shut before. Black unemployment and college graduation were completely different animals under Clinton. One of the reasons that so many black people STILL support the Clintons is because of the (relative) economic prosperity so many had under his terms. Or was that just black people being "unfamiliar" with the status of their own economies back then too?
The economy of the entire country has fallen into the toilet since Bush, and as the old adage says "when white America gets a cold, black America gets the flu." Because of CENTURIES of racist policies, black people have always been more vulnerable to economic downturns than whites. That has NEVER changed. You will -- again -- not find one person in this forum who is unaware of what the current economic state of black America is. What you will find is different opinions/perspectives on why that's happened, but as you've already deduced that any difference of opinion to yours is the result of being "unfamiliar" with history, I won't dare waste more of your time.
I won't bother replying anymore here.
Okay by me.
