Government assistance in the 60's.

A woman couldn't have a man in the house to receive government assistance.

Notice I said alleged.

Government assistance in the 60's.

A woman couldn't have a man in the house to receive government assistance.

How much of an impact did that have? In addition how much of an impact did that have versus the typical issues that come along with poverty, mass incarceration, Black on Black homicide which primarily affects males, etc.?

It made it where a woman didn't have to depend on a man to financially raise the children.

Stats shows single-motherhood skyrocketed in the black community after this point.

I would say when we left the church. Outside the church power wise we have always been equal with black women.

Facts.

People don't realize that a lot of the "project housing" was actually quality apartments for working class family's. Industry workers really. It was never meant for public housing or subsidized housing for single mothers who ain't bout shyt. Unfortunately they were all next to Black CBD's.

But that didn’t affect other races as much as us. In fact, white women were burning bras, then when back to the kitchen.

But the elephant in the room is most of those women were lesbians.

Black male unemployment rate went up during the 70's when a lot of factory jobs started to close.

This led to many black males not being able proved for their children.

Government assistance took the financial place of these unemployed black males.

These are all good questions; I would also include educational factors and the school to prison pipeline.

MLK spoke of a black matriarchy being established in his book Wher Do We Go From Here

Once more the Negro’s problem had two cutting edges.
Because the institution of marriage had been illegal under
slavery, and because of indiscriminate sex relations, often
with their white masters, mothers could identify their chil-
dren but frequently not their children’s fathers. Moreover,
the women, being more generally in the house and charged
with the care of the white master’s children, were more often
exposed to some education and a sense—though minimal—
of personal worth. Hence a matriarchy had early developed.
After slavery it persisted because in the cities there was more
employment for women than for men. Though both were
unskilled, the women could be used in domestic service at
low wages. The woman became the support of the house-
hold and the matriarchy was reinforced. The Negro male
existed in a larger society dominated by men, but he was
subordinated to women in his own society.
The quest of the Negro male for employment was always
frustrating. If he lacked skill, he was only occasionally wanted
because such employment as he could find had little regular-
ity and even less remuneration. If he had a skill, he also had his black skin

The 1965 Department of Labor report (also known as "The Moynihan Report") described the "Negro matriarchy" being a result of slavery and discrimination.
