It’s one of the factors for sure. Not the only one tho.
No one wants to admit that the black family been in disarray since we were brought to plantations. Brehs we’re emasculated by white men in front of their women and couldn’t save them. And brehettes were worked like men, raped, abused, separated from the kids they had and all while being forced to raise their white master’s kids and birth his kids too.
Sadly, even once slavery was over, we were still subject to oppression, inequality, poverty and racism—Brehs were still emasculated, and our kids didn’t get equal education, we were denied many things and it made it hard for us to have functional relationships. To be real, the black family has always been in disarray and bw/bm relationships have always had issues.
some things have compounded it sure, but there was never a solid functional foundation to begin with.

expound more breh that sounds interesting
It's not one or the other. And ideally, yes, parents play the biggest role. But in a society where both parents are working, and the overwhelming majority of black children aren't growing up with both parents in the house anyway, the influence of popular culture is huge.
These kids are raised by their teachers, their classmates, music, movies, tv, tik tok, social media, etc, just as much if not more than they're being raised by their parents. And rap culture, hip hop culture, whatever you want to call it, has been absolutely poisoning the minds of the black youth for decades now. I mean shyt, some of these parents nowadays were poisoned by the music their damn selves.
How are we defining disarray
I get what you're saying and there's some truth to that, but at the same time what is that really saying? It was just doomed to begin with?
And again how are we defining disarray? And what percentage of the community has to be doing bad to say that black families as a whole are in disarray? I know every black family wasn't living in disarray back in the day, and black folks used to be more married than white people in the 60s and 70s, it's the opposite now. Not to say high marriage rates means everything was good, they were black in the 60s it definitely wasn't all good, but I don't know if I'm 100% sold on the whole black relationships were always fukked up angle.
