The black community was far more functional before LBJ

Yeah was it though? I was looking up crime stats to fact check that "lead causes crime" thing and it turns out in the 1920s there was as much crime as the peak of the supposedly lead-induced crime wave.

Probably have to go to the library of congress and actually read a book to find out the demographics, but I have a hunch...

Also found out the number of black vs white lynchings was virtually the same demographically as today's violent crime ratio - at least in OK. And the Tulsa thing where a functioning black area self-destructed over nothing basically, pretty much identical to Detroit a year before Civil Rights Act.
