The disease of fatherless in the black community

[DEAD7]

Nah breh. You can argue welfare has negative aspects, and obviously some of us have run into people who take advantage of that system. But blaming all this on welfare seems disrespectful and revises history. We cannot ignore what redlining started, and then what the introduction of heavy drugs into black neighborhoods finished. Imagine trapping a group of people into one segmented off area, and then setting it aflame. That's what happened. If you want to argue welfare compounded those issues then fine, but as a black man it would be foolish to deny the bigger issue at hand.

Another problem, which hurt people regardless of race, was the dismantling of middle class jobs. Auto industry, manufacturing, shipping jobs, construction...a lot of that shyt has been handed off to foreign countries. Suddenly a father without a college education couldn't get a decent job at GM and work his way to good pay/benefits; sure the auto industry isn't dead but it's not nearly as huge as it once was.

Think about the jobs your granddads and old uncles had. A lot of that shyt doesn't exist in their cities anymore.

The numbers dont lie. All those factors(which are valid) were present before the roll out of the welfare state, and single parent household numbers were dramatically lower.

Whats more telling is the breakdown of the nuclear family that occurred hit every race, even whites, which means it was facilitated by something that affected everyone.






Question, whats with the staunch defense of welfare?

Just a fatherless fakkit

What was wrong with what he said. Hes right negative aspects in the community,especially with black America, gets amplified to the max

You have all these Africans and Caribbeans talking about the problems facing AAs . And don't give me the whole ''we black'' shyt...different groups have different issues. Unless you're from the community....how could you truly know the issues?....from Rap?...Boyz N the Hood?...IG? Lol

AAs....you better check these guys. Treating you like a sociology study.

Find out where these guys are from before entertaining their arguments. Otherwise you might as well be arguing with a white dude from Europe....they both have the same reference points.

Explain what role feminism had in "ruining the black community"

feminism ruins everything. men can't function with feminists breathing their air.

But the Great Society programs started in the mid 60s (LBJ). The crack epidemic was in the late 70s and 80s...

I'm not arguing welfare has no negatives. I'm just saying it's factually and intellectually incorrect to place all blame on welfare when the drug game is what destroyed the black family in inner cities.

Fair enough, you cant place all blame on it, but the best weapon we have against enduring poverty remains the two parent household. So placing emphasis on the factor(s) that breakdown the home makes perfect sense... no?

It's also a disease for white women and their mulatto children, but we see no discussion of that.

How are white women relevant to this thread topic?

Are you trying to shift the discussion towards how white women are suffering at the hands of black men?

Feminism played a key role in destroying the black family unit. They brainwashed black women into believing they no longer need black men and that they we're strong, independent, and don't need no man.

Before the 1960's and before feminism, the black family was strong.

My friend told me this recently

A White womans chances of being a single mother DOUBLE if she chooses a Black man. Thats statistics.

If you get with a Black man..chances are if you get pregnant, you're on your own.

 

[Ms~Opinionated]

With such a drastic change statistically, you would have to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated in America. I mean why else could there be such a huge leap statistically in such a relatively short period of time. Given this countries history of legal puppetry of black Americans. Also this came about during the 1960's and beyond "all of a sudden".

Just saying.

It was orchestrated. The government orchestrated all of this. Since the 60s the government has been rewarding reckless behavior.

1. Get pregnant, they pay for an abortion.
2. Get pregnant by multiple men, they pay for the children.
3. Get a disease from having reckless sex, they pay to cure it.
4. Have more kids, they give you more money.
5. Have mentally ill kids, they give you more money.

At no other point in history have people been encouraged to make the wrong choices in life. Particularly, black women.

Welfare has ruined the black community. I remember girls in high school who couldn't wait to have a baby, so that they could get out of their mom's house and get an apartment - that the government would pay for.

I JUST got my first apartment and it wasn't handed to me simply because I had a baby I couldn't feed. The government encourages young black women to not work. If you don't work, you don't gain skills. If you don't gain skills, you will not be able to work. Women who are on welfare are not gaining any useful skills to get employment.

I know a lady who advised my sister-in-law to declare her grandson mentally ill, so she could get money for him, because that what she did with her son.

smh - the government is not your friend.
