Have you ever had a radical shift in political beliefs?

Living on the edge of a black ghetto in one of the blackest and consequently most dangerous cities in the United States has caused me reluctantly to suspect that in states with large black populations,Jim Crow legislation was based on sound instincts.

My parents raised me not to hate blacks. I still try not to. Some times some of them make that difficult.
I am still liberal on most issues. Nevertheless, I now believe that there is often wisdom in tradition. The civil rights legislation was forced on whites with extensive experience with blacks by whites with little experience.
When blacks make up a small percentage of a population most try to behave. When blacks are in the majority most behave the way they want to behave. Many do not want to behave well.
To learn what most blacks are really like one usually needs to see them up close on terms of approximate equality in an environment where they are in the majority.

When I posted the above comment on Quora my comment was removed, although not before receiving responses like this:
"None of your criteria are objective. You are, simply, a despicable human being and a racist. You are no longer worth my attention or the attention of any decent human being. I will not report you but views like yours belong in the Daily Stormer or the garbage can."
