You still haven’t provided a basis for your claim that 1950s america wasn’t safe for non middle class white people.

My claims of the safety in america are based on aggregate crime rate statistics since the 1960s from the FBI UCR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#Cri...

It seems to support my position not yours. The notion that the homicide rate has gone down only because superior medical care in particular seems ridiculously unsupported by any evidence whatsoever. Its not clear that reporting standards for rape and assault would be similar across 70 years.

So now you’re rejecting official data without any evidence to support your skepticism. Interesting.

You still have yet to provide any basis for the claim that 1950s america wasn’t safe for non middle class white people. Why not?
