Isn't it interesting and sad how the Great Migration doesn't seem to have made things that better for some?

I remember reading about the Great Migration and how African-Americans left the slavery torment legacy of the Deep South for western and northern states but it almost seems like the unity dissipitated because we go from everyone being slapped together, tormented, but enduring the pain of cruel slave masters and having a sense of togetherness to being set legally free in 1860 and then everyone goes off and does their own thing resulting in a lack of direction for some so we got gangs in western and northern cities (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles), degradation in the media, and bullying, murder, and intimidation at school and in the neighborhood. Looks like it went from African-Americans suffering together in the 19th century to them turning on each other in the 20th century. That's sad. Just watch the films Amistad (suffer together) and Menace II Society (killing each other) and you'll see the contrast that I mean. Oh and I happen to be African-American myself, 23 years old. Name is Jonathan, but I get along real well with others and my family too. My mom's side resides mostly in Chicago where she was raised and my grandmother is from Arkansas. I do find it kind of sad and interesting how people can go from the frying pan to the fire when they tried to have such aspirations of hope for better living conditions but it only seemed to get worse, but I guess that happens with some people. I also see a contrast between the slave and the Black Panther Party in that both people were oppressed, beaten, and killed by those who had authority over them (slave owners and government officials). It's sad.
