Thomas Sowell says the stats say “yes.” Black wealth was trending up over multiple decades and crime by/affecting black America was trending down. Both exploded in negative ways.

Has anyone tried to study why?

Because they kicked the black man out of the home. Boys without fathers become violent and angry. Girls usually have tons of daddy issues and end up in porn or Onlyfans and several baby daddies. This isn’t rocket science.

Has Sowell weighed in on the impact the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had on other groups it was intended to (and did, in fact) benefit? Like women, for example?

He probably thinks Brown v. Board of Education was bad for Blacks, and wishes Plessy was still the law of the land.

Your post is dumb, thus I will not further respond.

If you’d care to watch the linked video and try to be less dumb, perhaps others will help you in your distress.

Go Polar Bears!

I watched it in its entirety before I posted.

You're not substantively responding because you can't. Very poor deflection, even for you.

I'm not sure Sowell says in that video that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the "cause" or "harmed" people (but maybe he does in the book referred to). He's referring to "policies" and I think those policies include much more than the CRA (like the Welfare State that he refers to). For example, he talks later in the video about "social" damage, based on gunshots in neighborhoods, but attributes that to "policies" within the justice system that I think are separate and apart from the CRA--he also references more generally, "The War on Poverty."

Also, he hasn't really made a case for the policies "harming" black people, instead saying they haven't really benefitted them. Even this, though, is just one of correlation between decades and outcomes. He even says at the beginning that economically ("materially"), black people are better off in 1980 vs. 1960, but that that was a trend that had started in 1940. That's fine--but that doesn't really prove anything, does it?
