I may have been confusing the results of the great migration myself with the results of what came after the migration. I'm too young to have lived in that time, but growing up amongst a decent amount of black people, there do exist remnants of that culture. My perception of the first half of the 20th century is totally different about blacks. They seemed to be far from lazy for one and really just wanted a society where they would be afforded the opportunity to work hard and bear the fruits of that hard work.

I guess I really wonder why such a dramatic shift? Is it really the result of the LBJ "Great Society" and if so, why did blacks take up so easily to the lazy degeneracy of living off the welfare state? Are they culturally lazy, or is it just because there were more poor black people at the time? Meaning that poor white people also became lazy welfare slaves. I know there's plenty of those welfare whites in the redneck South, and I suspect all over the country. Still though, the black community seems to embrace that life now.

I do need to read some Sowell, I've got some of his stuff on my next-to-read list. My understanding is he talks about this type stuff a lot.
