On YouTube you can find these old news clips from 1957-65 of network news propagandists doing stick-mic interviews of ordinary working White people in communities like Little Rock Arkansas, seeking to humiliate and shame them for the entertainment of New York audiences by getting them to frankly voice their fears of how desegregation would negatively impact their homes.

Looking back though, how can anyone say these people were anything less than prescient? They predicted that desegregation would destroy their communities and we can look back from 60 years hence and see that these communities have been destroyed. Little Rock Arkansas today is a dilapidated, crime-distressed shithole which starkly contrasts with the lovely, safe, humble homescapes seen in the background of these old news clips.

With the cause and effect plainly visible, progressives have only a matrix of tortuous coping narratives for why their plan caused exactly the disaster predicted by the people they inflicted it upon. They have no explanation for why black communities were healthier and better economically self-sustaining under segregation.

Weirdest of all, these old clips are posted up as virtue porn for progressive audiences. But, like dumping ice water on a drunk, the spell is broken by simply posting "Were they wrong though?". Without even asking what you mean they launch immediately into recitation of the aforementioned canned coping narratives for why making these areas more black made them worse objectively along all social and economic metrics.

Progressives know what happened. They simply have to cope with it in the manner of a Vatican mathematician reviewing Copernicus' proofs. The "Truth" that race isn't real, black dysfunction is caused by White prosperity, and that post-revolutionary conditions are invariably superior to pre-revolutionary conditions must be sustained, damn the evidence of one's own eyes.
