Not lynching people because they're black is pretty good, not?
That is the narrative, but it's highly questionable that people were lynched just for being black and many whites were lynched too. Normally, you'll find people were lynched for rape, murder, etc. Mob rule is inherently not a good thing; however, the current situation could hardly be called an improvement. American black people now kill twice as many black people every year than the KKK lynched in their entire history.
In the 1950s, every city with a large black population had a thriving black district. Something happened in the 60s, and by the 70s all those areas had been reduced to chaos and rubble.
I am aware. You weren't just lynched for "being black", but being black and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course, more blacks are murdered now than under the height of lynching, so one may wonder if there is an improvement on that score. But being the victim of group persecution does damage beyond the raw numbers, which is why everyone tries to persuade client groups of such persecution.
(Honest to god, I wrote this before reading the rest of your reply.)
It is the race regime and the drug epidemic. But even if we dislike the outcomes insofar as they were disasters, surely we can believe that it is a good thing for a man not to be advantaged or disadvantaged on account of his color. Even if you believe that it is an impossible goal, which I'm unfortunately increasingly being persuaded of.
People are inherently advantaged and disadvantaged by their birth. I'm neither a seven foot giant nor a five foot manlet, so I'll never be an NBA star or a jockey in the Kentucky Derby. It's not skin color that is at issue; it is a complex host of inherited cognitive and behavioral differences. That's not to be taken to mean superiority or inferiority, simply different. Materialistic biology is not the ultimate arbiter either; there is an almost transcendent element to it as well. The biospirit of a people manifests in their society and culture, and people from outside that biospirit will be inherently disadvantaged, as it was not built by them.
That is interesting. Not to play guilt by association, just checking, but isn't that the idea of the so called 'alt-right', that culture flows from biology?
I would argue against that. There have been sea changes in culture without any change in the genetic component. I could cite historical examples, but we both live in a country that has gone to absolute crap over a span of 100 years or so.
