When we look at the failures in the black community today, there seem to be lots of “activists” who want to tell us the problem lies in poor police relations — militant policing and presence. Recently, I was on NPR’s Diane Rehm Show. The issue was about the black community and the other guests ranted on about everything other than what the real problem is — the decimation of the black family. Now, I must apologize because I’ve been sharing that the illegitimacy rate in the black community was 72 percent. I was wrong. It’s now 75 percent.
As Dr. Walter E. Williams writes for CNSnews.com, “Hustlers and people with little understanding want us to believe that today’s black problems are the continuing result of a legacy of slavery, poverty and racial discrimination. The fact is that most of the social pathology seen in poor black neighborhoods is entirely new in black history. Let’s look at some of it. Today the overwhelming majority of black children are raised in single female-headed families. As early as the 1880s, three-quarters of black families were two-parent. In 1925 New York City, 85 percent of black families were two-parent. One study of 19th-century slave families found that in up to three-fourths of the families, all the children had the same mother and father.”
“Today’s black illegitimacy rate of nearly 75 percent is also entirely new. In 1940, black illegitimacy stood at 14 percent. It had risen to 25 percent by 1965, when Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action” and was widely condemned as a racist. By 1980, the black illegitimacy rate had more than doubled, to 56 percent, and it has been growing since. Both during slavery and as late as 1920, a teenage girl raising a child without a man present was rare among blacks.”

ReplyDeleteWhat's worse is the pollution of others with the debauchery and lack of human decency. They have bred an entire culture that thrives on it as the majority quietly approve.
ReplyDeleteI belive we all suffer the same problem and it is the lack of God in our lives. There is a book you can read that has all the answers but we choose to ignore the truth. Truth is we all have a father and he loves us more then you can imagine.
ReplyDeleteThank you Colonel Allen West (ret) You tell it like it is. So refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI believe that our welfare code has also decimated the idea of marriage. In the comment section of the original article it is said (paraphrasing of course), if you are single, you would qualify for more benefits that than of someone who is married. Thus initiating a cycle of babies with no dads in their lives because of ease it is to get living expenses paid.
ReplyDelete100% correct.
DeleteAnd I bet back in the day, their mommas and daddys would have whooped them for their smart mouths also. And that's a fact!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard it said, by those in entitlement programs, that young unmarried women are "cash cows" and churn out babies for the benefits. I worked at a company where the pay for one individual was so heavily garnished he took home pocket change. He had fathered multiple children by an array of women and he was darned proud of it. These people know the "system" implicitly and so street smart they play the game well. Political correctness has aided and abetted the movement and the shills Sharpton, Jackson, and Jeremiah Wright (poverty pimps all) get rich while making sure the ball rolls on. Don't be fooled, the "poverty" level is reaching middle class, those "down and outers" have it made.
ReplyDeleteIslam is doing the same in England.
DeleteAnd other truths you're never gonna hear.!
ReplyDeleteNot only that but the first legal slave owner was a black man also black people owned as many slaves as white people. It was Muslim's that sold blacks into slavery to Jewish owned merchant ships so if you want to blame there's plenty to go around.
ReplyDeleteWondering when Trump is going to " hit on Welfare"
ReplyDeleteI hope soon! . I, and others are tired of helping
to pay for all these children being produced.
The more they produce, the More Money they
get! It's Criminal !! One mistake, Ok, BUT
AFTER that-- they pay for the children themselves.
You will see a definite "fall back " in our population!
How much sense does it take to figure this out??? Oh,
I forgot, our Government has had no sense till
Trump got in office !!
The downfall of the black (and yes whites too) started when former Pres. Johnson began his policy called "The Great Society."
ReplyDeleteIt basically covered the expenses for out of wedlock women who quickly realized that Uncle Sam (taxpayer) would pay women to have babies starting in 1964. No longer would a 'father' be required to contribute financially to the raising of the his children because Uncle Sam (taxpayer) would be the father.
