The Black Family Is Struggling, and It’s Not Because of Slavery

That the problems of today’s black Americans are a result of a legacy of slavery, racial discrimination, and poverty has achieved an axiomatic status, thought to be self-evident and beyond question.

This is what academics and the civil rights establishment have taught. But as with so much of what’s claimed by leftists, there is little evidence to support it.

The No. 1 problem among blacks is the effects stemming from a very weak family structure.

Children from fatherless homes are likelier to drop out of high school, die by suicide, have behavioral disorders, join gangs, commit crimes, and end up in prison. They are also likelier to live in poverty-stricken households.

they are also being destroyed by the party that they keep electing. They keep voting Democrat but Democrats are destroying the inner cities. Democrats don't care about them. They tell them what ever will work to keep the votes to keep them in office.They give just enough entitlements to keep them poor and dependent on the Govt so they keep voting to keep those entitlements. Its sad of how Democrats exploit them. They need to start speaking up and rejecting it. But they wont. Until you take the reins and stop putting them in office things will not get any better. Start cleaning up your cities by putting people in that actually care and want to see you succeed and prosper. Its up to you to lead that charge!

There was a standoff on Priscilla street this morning. Lots of cops, lots of gunfire.

It's not just black children who don't have fathers that are debilitated by it, it's all children, especially males, who are put at astronomically high risk of exhibiting violence as teens and adults.

Let's face it: Our society is being deliberately destroyed by the powerful .5% of the richest people on the planet.
Hollywood is just a part of the weapon used against us - mind control.
Music (fake music, RAP) is also being used as a weapon.

The children don't have a chance.
Neither do the parents.
This genre is very very effective at mind control.
