Why the black community in the USA is in such terrible state ? I know slavery can explain a lot of things, but it seems to me the black community, despite segregation, was well integrated in the USA in the 20s, 30s. They produced great musicians, athletes, were patriotic, and even though they were poorer, it was still better than today thanks to family traditions and religious zeal.
Now, the black community in the US is among the worst. Drugs, violence, racial tensions, ghettos, rap...
Why did the black community become this bad ?

They still do....
Democrats (honestly not even a joke)
Being in control of ghettos for the last 70 years.

You answered your own question really.

That's just plain stupid

Black radicalism was stamped out in the 70's With it went a culture of education and self-improvement.

Drugs are an effect, not the cause of lack of opportunities. It has been showed countless times that good employment and education opportunities rapidly destroy slum and gang cultures. Just look and Singapore for example or the Irish in America.
Deindustrialization destroyed much of blue collar jobs, which robbed Blacks of many opportunities. As you may know, there was a natural cycle in American histories. Each new wave of migrants first held lowest-grade jobs. Their children were blue collars, who earned better and thus were able to finance education of their own children who entered the ranks of the middle class. The Blacks, although living in America since like 17th century, were in fact the most recent wave of migrants since they were allowed to fully compete on the job market only since the Civil Rights movement. However, by that time the pool of good blue collar jobs was diminishing.
Political class is screwing Blacks hard. They don't vote for Republicans, so GOP doesn't give a flying fuck about them and casually rides subtle racism to gain more White votes. The Dem, on the other hand, just want to keep their votes so they prefer short time solutions (like welfare programs, affirmative actions) that only antagonize others again Blacks and that promising something like a long term solution.

whites, (generally), don't use drugs, murder their own race, than blame another race for it.

Yes, indeed. You know the inane stuff you hate, the Katie Perrys and Nikki Minajs? They all existed during the 60's and 70's, grandpa.

Just because you don't still follow jazz doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Yeah, he sure is stupid. Integration isn't the desirable outcome. What's more important is that the black community was more wholesome in that period.

go do some research you lazy shit
>>1576670
The number 1 demographic that kills white people has literally always been other white people
>>1576706
Define wholesome. The average life expectancy of black people has gone up dramatically since the 30s, just like it has for everyone else. Rate of poverty has also decreased dramatically.

>then blame another race for it
1. It's entirely possible that they're collectively dumber (obviously speaking generally since this is a very general debate)
2. Lack of fathers and responsibility, this is the big one to me and you can trace most ills back to this
>>1579159
He meant whites don't kill whites and then blame non-whites
