For those interested, simply google "Moynihan Report." It was enormously controversial at the time yet highly accurate of the problems it describes. It's worth noting that due to today's political correctness, even the report's title contains a word that, although acceptable then, is considered offensive today. Probably would be allowed here at Substack, but I'll not utter it lest some snowflake faint.

What is more, it bears mentioning the report was solicited by a Democrat administration. This was perhaps the peak of the Civil Rights movement, right after Johnson signing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Daniel Patrick Moynihan himself was hardly a conservative. In fact, he later served (nearly) the last 25+ years of his life as a Senator from NY. Yet today the Woke mob would denounce him as a racist and a white supremacist.

Alas, the problems described in the 1965 report have only gotten worse, sometimes much worse, in the 57 years since. 😡 But hey, we have a black woman on the Supreme Court and, well, sort of, as a Vice President, so progress is being made! Or is it?
