>>151098I dont think drugs amd welfare alone decimated the American blacks.
White people had drugs as well. Pills,booze, cocaine, opium, etc.
Also the rap music?
White people had mafia/cowboy movies with country music glorifying the outlaws.
They also had welfare.
Redlining and white flight added to the mix is probably a more realistic outcome.
When blacks first started to gain power as American governors in the 1870s, they were lynched and pillaged by white reactionaries.
