I like this graph, but would rather share it without an argument or tagline - why do you think black perception of racial unfairness has increased in recent years, and is currently worse than pre civil rights?

The percent of black who think they are treated just as well as whites in their communities was lower in 2018 (18.3%) than it was in the year before the passage of the civil rights act (23.5%). Objectively speaking, this can't be true.

These are self-reported by people from two different eras, so you have to adjust for the reporters' expectations. It's likely that black Americans today expect a greater degree of equality than did those in the early 1960s. And that's pretty uncontroversially a good thing. No?
