From thre article :

"Research shows that the legal changes in the civil rights era created new employment and housing opportunities. In the 1960s and the 1970s''

The problem is that black economic oppurtunities were already slowing in the 70s ( especially under the administratin of Carter ), NOT BECUASE of Reganomics ( which did not exist and is defined incrrectly by the author ) but becuase of th economic ewcession created by Democratic policies especially the unsustainable spending by Johnson which led to the recessions as the dollar could no longer be tied to gold.

But even the growth that we saw in the 70s was still in the fields where they were already accepted, there was hardly any growth in new fields 9 like physicians )

The article is as mature as it its with the use of the childish idiom - realest

You're economic "facts" miss the point. The title of the jobs report you cite is:

Blacks in the 1970's: Did they scale the job ladder? More blacks obtained white-collar jobs but fewer penetrated higher-salaried positions; mobility in higher paid blue-collar jobs was somewhat more impressive

The title alone is enough to conclude the accuracy of Warren's statements. African Americans did not achieve parity in the workplace due to discriminatory practices preventing an equal sharing of job growth. African Americans did not see the same participation as others in the job growth of the time. "Trickle down" or "Reaganomics" has never achieved any improvement in the economic situation of the 90%. This type of flawed economic theory has only ever benefitted the wealthiest.

Titles are not facts ... the content of the report that bares the title says differently

Your attempt to deceive is noted as it will to anyone else who reads the study

Why its the Republicans fault of course.

From the article: "Warren squarely laid blame for the economic failures of the civil rights movement at the feet of Republican economic theory"

Pocahontas is as full of shit as a Christmas turkey. Remember last months announcement that Warren and Bernie are going to fix the problems with your cable service? Yeah, that.

The economy never produced enough jobs for African Americans in the wake of the automation of agriculture, and it probably never will.

Sorry, Warren, but liberal "progressive" economics and illegal immigration have done more to hurt African-Americans than any conservative policy ever has.

When you review the data, (in the post-civil rights movement economy) the most important factor for success is the nuclear family. Everything else, and I mean EVERYTHING - race, gender, socioeconomic status, &c. - flatlines.

The black nuclear family has fallen apart, and that is far and away the most important reason why blacks continue to suffer such setbacks. Warren's "realest talk on race" doesn't mention this at all.

Fuck off, Fakeahontas. Black lies don't matter. Ben Carson became a doctor because he didn't buy into the black culture of education and civilized behavior being white oppression of "our culture." Want to talk about how many black lives matter to other blacks in third-world Democratic strongholds like Chicago and Detroit? 99% of the time it's impossible to distinguish the South Side from South Sudan. This isn't because the palefaces are keeping anyone down. It's because black "culture" is an abject failure and liberals' attempt to make them be "proud" of agitating, "community organizing," and rebellion against the "establishment" has led to nothing more than generational poverty and a complete destruction of every American neighborhood where blacks are the majority.

But keep encouraging them to flip out about Republicans wanting to cut the gravy train and get pissed off that whitey don't check yo' privilege. Keep encouraging them to be "proud" of hip-hop culture and make a BFD that resumes with made-up names like D'Brickashaw don't get callbacks rather than encouraging them to pick up their pants, stop acting like hypersexual animals showing off "booty" and "bling," and change their names to, I dunno, something like "Ben Carson". In other words, keep encouraging blacks to vote Democratic because only you can solve all their problems by punishing the evil melanin-devoid bourgeoisie and making them pay for shit that happened 400 years ago and has no bearing on anyone alive today. That's right, Dems. Keep stoking the fires (smoke signals?) of racial agitation and then wonder why us white working folks and the few blacks who have made it off the handout plantation end up voting the party of civilized human beings rather than the party of primitive savages and anti-establishment agitators.

Ya boy Martin King was a Republican. If he could see the sorry state of black America today as a result of Democratic social destruction, he'd grab James Ray's gun and shoot himself.
