It is a very broad question and you don't define your terms. What do you mean by best and worst? All parts of the country are not the same and all people are not the same. The jazz age between WWI and the beginning of the depression was probably a great time to be a black musician in a big city but it probably wasn't so great for a share cropper in the deep south. On the other hand a black musician could make a lot of money but would only be allowed to spend it in certain places. He still couldn't vote and could easily be arrested on bogus charges. If he got sick he could die in the ambulance on the way to a hospital that would accept colored people. Now a black person can go to any hospital but he might be turned away if he doesn't have insurance.
The late 1950s and early 1960s at the height of the civil rights movement was a dreadful time in many ways. People were killed and in other ways brutalized while marching and demonstrating for equal rights but it was a time of immense pride and solidarity. When you ask about a good time, do you mean the safest, the happiest, the time when a black person could make the most money, the time when families were closest, the time when black people had the most rights, when educational levels were the highest, when peoples' health was the best? Do you mean the time that produced the most or best writers and artists? These things didn't all happen for all people at the same times in all places. So that is why hardly anyone answered your question. It was much to broad to allow for a good answer.

Your question probable sounds uninteresting or it sounds too complicated. attempt to make the main question incredibly imprecise, beautiful, and elementary to answer. as quickly as clientele have an interest in the question, attempt to get a sprint greater particular with the extra info. yet no be counted what, attempt to no longer be TOO particular.

Probably because they sensed that you were just throwing out troll bait.
