This is what destroyed the Black family.

It later became the "War on Crime", then it morphed into the "War on Drugs", which is still enforced today. But The C00ns will ignore this and point to Welfare.

America’s version of welfare definitely played a role… to a degree…..

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.

Single mothers received higher welfare checks. So if a social worker came by to check in a welfare recipient and saw a live in boyfriend, that woman risked losing her benefits. There's also the idea that a husband was more likely to leave his family because at least the wife would receive welfare.

there’s been a continuous effort to subjugate us literally and figuratively…mentally and physically arguably for the span of this country from the government on down…and it still goes on today…yet you’ll have some black folks who try to paint it as “making excuses” “blaming the white man” like folks are being paranoid/making the shyt up…it’s disgusting, sad and frustrating how clueless some of us can be…and I didn’t need the cac in the OP pointing it out to know that…informative clip in general tho

All this bullshyt that's happening with black people was made by design. But hey, mothafukkas would rather point fingers at each other instead of looking at the big fukking picture.

And the same very people who rather point fingers at other black people are the same ones who act like cacs can't do no wrong

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.

Shaquille O’Neal is the son of Lucille O’Neal and Joseph Toney but growing up his biological father was never in the picture. Toney had problems of his own. When Shaq could barely crawl, Toney landed up in jail for possession of drugs. Following this, Mama O’Neal and Shaq started a new life with Philip Harrison.

O’Neal was said to be 6 months old in 1972 when his biological father, Joseph Toney left. According to reports, Toney did not willfully abandon Shaq but it came as a result of his being in prison for forging checks. He stayed there for the next 6 years and by the time he was out, Lucille O’Neal, his mother, and Harrison had left for Germany.

My parents were born in the 40s, and my step father was born in the 30s. There was no welfare and black families were just as broken up in the South as you see today. Family members housing cousins, neices, and nephews, due to dead beat dad was just as common. I question a lot of statistics on the subject simply because in the South before the 60s, the census records are all garbage.

"no, it's because Black women traded their men for welfare money so the government could be the new man in the house"

I've heard this and not only does it sound ridiculous to me, it is a horrible take on black women. Basically what it says is that black women exchanged the father of the family for less than $500 a month. If that's all it took there was never a family to begin with. I think it's more likely the family had already broken down and welfare was a band-aid to help the situation.

Nope. You just don't know the history of welfare. In 1934 it only benefitted white widows. In 1935 social security came about. How would my parents benefit from that? Welfare as we know it didn't come about until the 50s.

That's literally the reason it's deployed, to blame Black women for the destruction of the Black family.

Maybe you need to educate yourself as opposed to making ill informed comments

So what. What does this have to do with black families in that timeframe? Riddle me this, if black families were broken back then like 2023 families… how was the black women earning money to support at least 2 kids minus a nikka in the house?
