A man who abandons his family can still be a vital economic benefit to the black community. He can be employed or start a business. He can buy from other black businesses and buy land. They can even vote. A black man in jail can do none of that.

This played a role as well…. It gets over exaggerated, but it absolutely played a role

Why would a woman trade a working man who's bringing in a paycheck AND helping rear the kids for a paycheck and shouldering all of the responsibility for raising the children?

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Y'all can't stop the dumb finger pointing :snoop:



The point is systematic racism and mass incarceration is the reason that Black family broke down.

To a degree I think it’s true these two played a major role in this.

When I was thinking about black rappers/athletes/actors born in the era (mid 60’s late 70’s) when poor single mother families became prominent the story about how the fathers just dip made me curious to learn what was the driving force that made these celebrities raised by single moms when they were younger.

Like for example Shaq’s dad just straight up decided that he didn’t want to raise his son or be involved in his life. Crazy.
