From a broader perspective, blacks can still remember some of the issues from prior to our current state of civil rights.

The relatively recent phenomena of segregation took federal intervention to discredit that misuse of states' rights doctrine.

Blacks still have a disproportionate share of poverty and incarceration. Our current generation of politicians still haven't solved for official poverty that could ameliorate some of those issues.

Which candidate may be in a better position to understand the historical context of those issues?

I am still of the opinion, that we should hold our elected officials to a platform of eliminating official poverty. Simply engaging in deficit spending on a warfare-state industrial complex will never solve the underlying issue of poverty in the US.

In a mixed market economy, simply having an income is a better form of guaranteeing individual liberty than any amount of laws that tend to have the effect of denying and disparaging liberties to an individual.
