If this isn't a white liberal lie I don't know what is.
Black people have always been socially conservative religious people. Only reason black people ever voted democrat is because republicans are racist and financially hurt poor people. But in terms of social issues we've always agreed with them over the radical liberals. You are definitely a white agent on here trying to spread bold face disinformation.
And with regard to your point on out of wedlock births, that only started after white people destroyed the black family and started putting black men in jail. In the past black folks always got married when they had children. If black family has stories of their mothers and grandmothers being forced to marry after the family found they were preganant cause back in the day it was a bad look for a black woman to be pregnant before marriage. Now you over here trying to rewrite reality as if we ever had anything in common with the demonic white liberal feminists who are trying to destroy the traditional family.
Actually the pre feminism/welfare intact cookie cutter nuclear black family is a myth. African-Americans have always had a higher rate of single motherhood and woman headed households than whites since they've started collecting data. Our community has always relied on communalism.
We have always adapted and resorted largely to communalism keep ourselves together and afloat in this hostile, volatile, society, because being a community of cookie cutter nuclear families hasn't been been an opinion for us and isn't apart of our culture. Extended families, organizations, community centers, teachers, clerics, and masjid/church members, aunts, uncles, older siblings, and cousins etc etc have always stepped in where "mom and dad" couldn't when it came to rearing children and instilling values. This didn't start with the introduction of government welfare in the late 60s and early 70. Black fathers were being lynched, imprisoned, and driven out of town since we've been free people., and were sold away in the domestic slave trade in the antebellum era. But yet some people think problems within our community started with the "breakdown" of the nuclear family in the late 60s and early 70s.
This myth largely originates with a white man,
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who put forth the "Moynihan theory" which was obviously providing an analysis of our community through the lense of how things function in his community which led to a flawed analysis. In actuality since at least the 1880s African-Americans have had a higher rate of single parent hood than white americans.
Analysis confirms recent findings that the high incidence among African-Americans of single parenthood and children residing without their parents is not a recent phenomenon. From 1880 through 1960, black chil- dren were two to three times more likely to reside without one or both parents than were white children. In recent years, however, the race differential in parental absence has grown. Also, blacks have had a consistently higher percentage of extended households than have whites, but until 1940 this was the result of single parenthood and parent- lessness among children: Extended households were more common among whites once the effects of absent parents were controlled.

Facts > Rhetoric
And furthermore you confusing being more spiritual and superstitious with being religious zealots. AAs have been and still are more spiritual than whites and more likely to faithfully attend religious ceremonies, but that is in part because these religious institutions play a much more intergral parts of our lives than it did for white people. It was a place for our community to congregate, network, organize, plan, socialize, galvanize, crowd fund, educated among many other things. In fact the first black schools including the first HBCU came from the black church. So, our people weren't just in the church to praise jesus. We have never been zealots in our religiosity like white people. There's no AADOS version of the westboro baptist church.
Also I'm willing to do a mod verification of my race any time where
@Barnett114 or someone can verify my race. Are you?
