It's sad that a cac male points the finger in the correct direction when Black people point the finger at each other.

I've heard this and not only does it sound ridiculous to me, it is a horrible take on black women.

Black women were the victims…. I swear y’all slow as fukk and don’t know shyt about nikkas’s history here in America….

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.

50 years ago $500 isn't as paltry as you think.

This is the most Coli thread ever.

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?

They were working AND relying on the support of other family members (just as they are today).

Black people were getting by by supporting each other.

here's some history about the welfare you believe Black women traded their partners for.

Most of the federal oversight, which would have promised equal treatment to applicants regardless of race or marital status, was removed. Administration of the program was transferred from the U.S. Children’s Bureau to the Social Security Administration, which lacked the Children’s Bureau’s commitment to poor children and their mothers. The initial appropriation for the program was reduced from $120 to $25 million.

Ironically, the casework provisions for supervision created an effect virtually opposite to the intention of the designers. A provision in the law that authorized ADC assistance only to “suitable homes” functioned, in the program’s first three decades, to reduce the number of eligible children (in 1960 when 79 of every 1000 children were in need, only 30 received assistance) and, particularly, to inhibit coverage of “illegitimate” children and children of color. Local ADC policy frequently discontinued coverage during seasons when low-wage labor was short in fields or homes, thus forcing poor mothers into such labor.

He pulled that number out of his ass because he has no idea what he’s talking about…. But I’m willing to bet that 30 percent of black households made less than 5 to 6 grand annually between late 60s early 70s

Working where nikka? Not sure why you so full of shyt on this topic….. and domestic jobs wasn’t paying enough to raise a family….

Extended family. Did you not read my prior post? Look at the census records in the south prior to 1940 for your family, go over it with a family member from that time, you will commonly discover extended family members in households of black families, and I'm talking beyond Grandparents and grandchildren, but cousins, nieces and nephews, especially in rural communities. That family member will also point out how someone listed as a sibling was actually a cousin or nephew. My hypothesis is Black communities were simply closer knit back then. Hell, my father grew up in a community named after his family, because most of the community were all related. I hope you don't think all the light-skinned family members of yours from the south weren't through marriage.

Does it say negro or black anywhere ?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Extended family.

Did that extended family include working black males:fathers. I don’t think y’all know who the fukk y’all talking too…. I am born and raised in the cradle of all this… and was halfway reared by Grandparents on both sides born as early as 1905……

The broken families you bullshytting about was in the minority and was mostly saved either due to strong matriarchs getting assisted by the government somehow, and mostly patriarchs that held it down for everybody

You will see both African American and people of color, you will also note that it is talking about a period BEFORE the 1960s and after the 30s, we can very safely assume that the people of color that were being unfairly denied these benefits included Black children.
