Hispanics are oppressed but generally have strong family units. What gives?
That's a good questions
Never seen this one
Plus, some of these Mexican families went through total hell that we couldn't even imagine in Mexico. Like real suppression that haunts you at night, and not that made up America suppression that some say we go through in 2014. Bless those Mexican souls after going through such hardships.
Well, Blacks having to be afraid of getting killed while walking to school is terrifying too. Didn't even think of that when trying the above. Blacks have a legit reason to be afraid too, but suppression isn't one of those fears anymore. Many Blacks have to be depressed that other Blacks are the ones killing other Blacks today. Any killing is sad but seems it being so close to home hits harder.
With any color, family life matters for a better chance of success and the Black family numbers aren't pretty. From my personnel experience after my dad left (13-14 yrs old). The home life was completely different and what I got away with. Bless my Mom's soul, she tried watching us while working 3 jobs after my dad was gone. I was off to work too when I could do so legally. The family is the key to success, no doubt. I can attest to this thinking from my own experiences.

The Sexual Revolution
It actually lagged behind (and still lags behind) in the black community. Black Americans are still far less likely to use protection, have less access to or knowledge of contraceptive measures and have less exposure to sex ed in school. Homosexuality is far more stigmatized in the AA community than among whites, and black children who are discovered to be gay are typically kicked out of the home, disowned by the community and started down a path which dooms their future.
The sexual revolution permeating the black community would help, not hurt them. It would significantly lower the rates of STDs, lower the rates of unwanted pregnancy and limit the demonization of homosexuality.

Correct
Don't forget, though, that Mark Richt has lost control of the black family.

If young black males were primary users, why it wouldn't they be the primary focus of drug curtailment efforts?

He took my comment about then being targeted in the 70s as meaning they became the primary users of drugs. Why he took it that way I have no idea.

But they aren't the primary users. If anything, whites use more.

You'd be shocked at how many people from the lower social classes lack even basic knowledge about sex, such as how to correctly use a condom or when a woman can get pregnant in her cycle. Just last week I encountered a young AA female patient who thought standing up after sex prevented pregnancy. This is not uncommon, either.
And lord knows they are unaware of the various contraceptive measures available to them. Sure, most have at least heard of the pill but they don't know anything about the depot shot or the nuva ring or anything else often times.

Ideally it would be up to the parents to rear their children with an adequate knowledge of sex and safe practices, but when the parents of a population are often as ignorant as their children what do we do?

Okay, perhaps I worded that earlier statement incorrectly. My point was, would you not point drug curtailment efforts in the most targeted communities?

LBJ, Racism and the Free Market.
LBJ obviously made a husband unneeded since the govt will take care of you. But I had a long friendship with a black female professional who I shall call Mary.
Mary never married. She was very smart and very attractive. When she was in her 50s I asked about why no husband. To paraphrase:
"Zach, first you have to take out the black males who are uneducated or commit crimes or went to prison. Then take out the black males on drugs. Then take out the black males who are unemployed. By the time you get down to the rest who are marriage possibilities they are in HUGE demand (free market). They can pick and choose. They marry white women or very light skinned blacks. I'm dark skinned and will not settle."
Mary is now 66. She had a point. When I look at ads of young black couples the woman is always light skinned compared to the man. Dark skinned black women with a high IQ are in a world of hurt in the free market of marriage.

The Moynihan Report was written in 1965.
In 1965, around 20-25% of AA children were born out of wedlock. Today it is more than double that. In 1965, about 30% of black children grew up with no or minimal interaction with their father. Today that number is closer to 65%.
So regardless of the problems facing the AA community prior to the 60s (problems which were almost entirely poverty driven at that time) they grew exponentially beginning in the late 60s and 70s.

I wasn't very clear in my post. The people in charge of the Great Society did their best to make sure the lies of the Sexual Revolution (sex does not need responsibility and sex has no repercussions) made it into the black communities. They also made sure that the vast majority of abortion facilities were placed in majority-black areas. This is stuff that Jesse Jackson of all people was railing against at the beginning of his career before he sold out to get political power.
