Economist Walter E Willams Tells It Like It Is for Black Americans: ‘Today’ Is Not ‘Yesterday’

[Geee]

In the minds of millions of Americans, race relations in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in May have deteriorated to levels experienced during the civil rights movement of the 1960s — if not worse.

As Black Lives Matter has continued to fan the flames — with a little help from their Antifa friends — protests continue, from the streets of Portland and other cities across the country, to professional sporting events, and nearly everywhere in between.

 

Trust between untold numbers of Blacks and Whites has plummeted; a lack of trust that is exacerbated by the Democrat Party and its lapdogs in the “mainstream” media on a daily basis. In a word, things are bad.

Except, are they? Are things really that bad?

As Dr. Walter E. Williams sees it, no. Not even close, argues the noted economist. In a recent op-ed titled Then and Yesterday, Williams argues to the contrary. “The socioeconomic progress achieved” by Black Americans — which began, Williams notes, in 1936 — has “exceeded anyone’s wild dreams.”
