Black Flight, killed black culture. Getting affirmative action opportunities, and a chance to purchase homes outside of the community they grew up in, killed the tax based and the 2 parent home. Also, welfare separated the father(who is poor) from the family, in order to receive assistance they must state on documents under the penalty of perjury, the father is not in the household and the social worker checking up on this to make sure there was no father in the home, killed the poor family unit. This also turned the family on its head, changed the power structure from patriarch to matriarch and kicked the father out of the home and the woman i.e. Mother was empowered by the government to force the father to submit or get out. She no longer needed him for sustenance, just the occasional affection and conversation. Nope music didn't do that, the destruction can easily be traced to blacks wanting to assimilate and assimilation unfortunately came at a cost.
