White Baby Boomers Went Through "A Decline In Moral Values" AFTER Jim Crow - That's Why Blacks Like Them

"African-Americans consistently have expressed far less faith in "most people" than the white majority does. Racism, discrimination and a high rate of poverty destroy trust.

Nearly 8 in 10 African-Americans, in the 2012 survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago with principal funding from the National Science Foundation, felt that "you can't be too careful." That figure has held remarkably steady across the 25 GSS surveys since 1972.

The decline in the nation's overall trust quotient was driven by changing attitudes among whites. It's possible that people today are indeed less deserving of trust than Americans in the past, perhaps because of a decline in moral values."
