Just killing time until the returns come in.
Pardon me, please, if you find this offensive. I have an odd sense of humor and these people just slay me. What rock are they hiding under? ;)

Horsefeathers. Prior to the Great Depression, caused or at least worsened by goverment actions, there were lots of Negro schoolteachers, even college professors, as well as business owners, pharmacists, dentists, doctors and even a few lawyers. They were just in segregated parts of town. Then came the Government, to "take care of them". Additional factors were the large scale migrations of Blacks from the rural and small town south to northern (and left coast) cities. Again, with the government to help them, to teach the women that they didn't need a man, and in fact that they were a liability, black society was devastated, a devastation which continues to this day, in spite of all the Great Societies, Wars on Poverty and so forth ad nasuem. Of course with the Great Society and subsequent programs, the rot began to spread to the "white", "oriental" and "hispanic" communities as well. People, particularly young men, grew up unqualified for anything other than porter or chicken cook.
Meanwhile the evil and immoral military was providing many young men with a way to regain their manhood and to earn their way out of the Ghetto, Barrio, or semi-urban trailer park, as the case may have been.
