There is an argument I've heard advanced, that when Jim Crow 'died' with the passage of the voting rights acts and the civil rights act and all the court decisions that went along with the Civil Rights Era, and blacks began to have access to 'white' stores, that black-owned businesses suffered dramatically and as blacks began to move to the suburbs that the 'modern' black ghetto worsened. I wish I knew enough to say how large the impact was.
Similarly, Senator Bennet articulated another common argument recently that I've heard many times before. Education has suffered because more women had more access to the job market. Whereas education was once one of the few areas educated women could find employment, now there are a myriad of choices, meaning that the best left, leaving the rest, who, maybe weren't as good. What the impact of this 'exodus' from teaching to other professional careers was, I don't know. I don't know if it even exists. But I'm very curious.
