This is a huge issue but no one seems to want to discuss it. Very interesting article

quote:

if we are ever to focus on children who, for no fault of their own, are often raised in environments where a stable father is missing, violence is predictable, education is eschewed, drugs are prevalent and dependency threatens freedom; we must stand up and speak facts before another generation of children are lost.

The younger AA community is so far gone in rap music, hoes, weed, tattoos, fancy rims, bling-bling, grills,etc that they are too far gone to ever have a strong family structure.

It's not black people it's poor people. I wish people realized that it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with poverty.

This is a societal problem. Statistics show kids from single parent households don't do as well. Doesn't matter the race.

The government needs to stop giving people incentives to reproduce.

That's political suicide for any public figure. You're an automatic racist if you do bring it up.

This is what happens when a vast majority of a single autonomous group gets their marching orders from the Democrats.

The problem with the way this is discussed is in your pulled quote.

Yet when you impose "help" by threat of punishment (taking benefits, subsidies, etc away) you have a direct, adverse affect on those same children.

If that cannot be understood first, the conversation cannot take place.

Free birth control would go a long, long way, specifically the implants.

Eliminate welfare abuse and the problem corrects itself.

Mothers having multiple children for a government check every month for every child is to blame.

Why should they name the father? He's not a guarantee to pay every month but the Gov is.

Sounds like a poor people problem wrapped upped in a black bow.

Wouldn't the decline of the African American family in your region of the country allow for white southerners to gain comparative advantage?

Seems like this would work in your favor more than anything else.

I remember when Paul Ryan brought this exact issue up and was called a racist.

The young generation is caught up in pop culture of rap. And the politicians are doing their best to keep them there so they can pimp them out as they become adults.

Slavery and then Segregation went on for 200 years but I suppose a wrong that lasted that long should be overcome in 30-40 years. Things take time and if you think its getting worse and not better then you really have no idea whats going on in the real world.
