BTR News – Safe Bus, Bitter Truth – Debunking Dr. Claude Anderson’s Jim Crow Nostalgia
Was Jim Crow really a “blessing in disguise” for Black Americans? In this episode of Black Talk Radio News, host Scotty Reid confronts the revisionist narrative promoted by Dr. Claude Anderson and others who suggest segregation was a time of Black prosperity.
We dig into Anderson’s family legacy with Safe Bus Company in Winston-Salem, explore whether their success was the norm or an exception, and ask why there’s no record of their support for the Civil Rights Movement, despite benefiting from the gains it produced.
Scotty also challenges Anderson’s economic theory that wealth must precede political power, raising concerns about how that logic mirrors today’s super PAC and billionaire-controlled political landscape. This episode calls for accountability from those in Black media and scholarship who perpetuate myths that undermine the legacy of civil rights fighters and mislead new generations.
