And it ended up weakening the stance of the blacks rather than strengthening them & lifting them to a true place of equality. Only the most socially connected with any perceived power were lifted up. People don’t realize that the prejudice also exists against whites (or any non-black skin color) if they are poor and less powerful. They wrongly assume that a skin color of white was sufficient to pull someone out of their economic disadvantages so they didn’t need help, and that just isn’t true. My family of the past 100 years is a testament to that. I fully supported equal opportunity, NOT equal outcomes. A chance to achieve merit through hard work offered equally to all is what pulls anyone up and out of it regardless their skin color - but that wasn’t offered to anyone. Only DEI was. Ultimately that hurt the black population.
