that wasn't his point either^
his point was that they had those "great things" and they squandered it by now. -- implying that they are somehow inferior, in how they squandered their "great things" -- provided them, by the way, not acquired, hence, not even of their own agency did they have these "great things" -- and then comparing what they have now to what they had then, and saying what they had "then" "is better", even though, any moron who would ever come to this conclusion would have to be idiotically forgetting the fact of slavery, and the fact that they would probably kill themselves, or revolt, if they were ever enslaved themselves, because being a slave bullshit.

he said "isn't it a shame that for most black people the good ole' days were the days when things were segregated legally in this country...that the good ole' days when there were two parent families -- were the norm, in the black community, -- and there were...two parent families were the norm, back during segregation days."
this is called double speak. he's saying the family unit is broken up due to ???? reasons ???? and that's bad, but the good ole' days that people refer to (older people) were back during segregation; with a proper family unit -- implying that it's better during segregation -- even if he doesn't state that explicitly, this is what he is implying. double speak. the family unit still exists, he's making a statement implying that somehow it's an abject failure -- the black family -- and he's implying that, when people refer to "the good ole' days" that they referring to a "better day", without any further inference. that is an unsound conclusion, because just people people refer to them as "the good ole' days", doesn't mean they actually "good". in fact, it means squat. it's a logical fallacy aimed to convince idiots of things.

there isn't a problem leading to the disintegration of black families that can't be attributed purely to human nature. the black family is just as perplexed, culturally, as any other family in America (and should be treated as any other problem in America, an American one). the air of lament should come from the fact that people want solutions for problems that have none. curb the population growth? that's a simple proposal. but no. that won't happen. so what is to be done? lament? lament what? it was never any better than it is now, in fact, it was very plainly worse. that is the argument...you are CORRECT that that's what he thinks people think, that their referring to the good ole' days in that sense, or is it in the sense of "the good ole' days" when people were young and ignorant and thought the world made sense. it never did -- not fully. but progress has slowly been made, especially for people of color, and they need to continue to do so, not wish for the past...the past is gone, and it was never really that great to begin with. and that IS sad. but that's not what the guy was a pointing to. he was saying that "it's sad that they felt better about the good ole' days because the family was connected, unlike now" but this is JUST NOT TRUE. the families were separated, children were sold off from their parents, and they were NOT happier -- they had the illusion of being happier. and black person can tell you, that hasn't been trying to make excuses for his or her life, that life is a hundred percent better now. this is the problem. the big guy is just saying that older black folk have their rose-colored glasses on, which isn't really an accurate representation of the world. anyone without said glasses can look at history, and look at their life now, and plainly see things are better now.
