This is evident to anyone with a brain, but nobody on the radical left possesses one.

Is a direct failure of the Civil Rights movement, unintended no doubt, but a failure none the less. A healthy number of Anglos are following suit. Failure to assume responsibility for one's choices/actions has, is and will forever be the universal common denominator

The problem is a refusal to assimilate into Western Civilization.

The minority of those that have do well, and I am happy to call them friends, neighbors and co-worker.

Family -> Values -> Education -> Trade

This is the American Way. Strong family, instill values, learn about the world, perfect a trade.

fricking -> Drugs -> Rapping/Sports/Welfare

This is the poors way of life. Not black specifically.

The left will just attack him, and call him racist names.

That will be OK because Progressive Privilege.

All of this has been by design.

I've had this conversation with 20-something black males who confided in me that they deeply regret not having their father stick around. When I ask them 'are you going to abandon your child?' The answer is a hopeful 'no' followed by 'but then my father probably thought the same thing when he was my age.' It's really sad.
I grew up deprived of a lot of stuff. But I had a dad in the house every day to show me how a man behaves.

The sad thing is that Obama, who most blacks may actually pay attention to, won't touch this subject with a ten foot pole.

Why would he?

Obama's primary goal when he was POTUS was expanding government and dependency in every way imaginable.

This is a tool for this goal for not just blacks, but poor whites and hispanics as well.

This is a winning formula for Progressives, thus the PC push to silence anyone who dares address it.

This is all true. But don't expect Dims to call it out, because you can't claim racism has caused this; therefore, it doesn't fit their agenda. White children, black children, Asian children, Hispanic children, Latino children -- they are all negatively affected by single-parent homes in the same way. That is the absolute antithesis of racism because its effects have no regard for race -- everyone is affected the same.

This is a direct result of the personal decisions one makes, and as it stands right now, a higher percentage of black people and Hispanic/Latinos choose to have kids out of wedlock than white people. No one forces them to do this; it's matter of personal accountability. And since we know Dims don't like things like personal accountability, they will never talk about it.

Correct. Ben Shapiro rants about this often in his speeches and he's right to do so.

Dr. Williams has been preaching this for decades. He fought ACTUAL discrimination in the '50s and '60s.

He's 81. Come at him, bro.

The break down of the traditional family affects all races in similar ways.
of course. it's just a crisis that creates poverty, crime, etc. which becomes a problem for everyone and creates costs for everyone. but beyond that, it's just sick that 1. the current state of black people and 2. that nobody, not one fricking person gives a flying shite about it.

I'm actually all about blaming whitey for it too. The census data is jaw dropping. LBJ and his great society just happened to be the year where upward trends dramatically became downward trends that kept getting worse; however, revisiting that doesn't really do anything to solve it. and the only time people will mention the absolute misery of it all is to use it as a comp for a mass shooting or crime with lots of media attention. Or it is used to show how racist America is...when really it's just a sad situation that needs solving and really doesn't have shite to do with anyone's agenda. it doesn't require new laws, etc. it just requires attention, awareness and work.

LSU has two monuments from Civil War also: the Frikn Cannons which started the civil war, donated by General Grant who was President at LSU. I wonder is smart recruiters could use that information to LSU's advantage?

Dr. Thomas Sowell has also written about this. It has been posted on this forum many times, but not once have I seen any of our resident lefties debate it, challenge it or even acknowledge it.

It's much easier to scream racism and tear down historic landmarks than to face the reality of what is truly killing the black community.

BTW, Sowell discovered through his research that the problems of single parent households are not limited to the black community. He found that single parentage is a common link across all races in people who have problems like anger management, anti-social behavior, dropping out of school, drug/alcohol usage, criminal behavior, and the list goes on.

The problem for the black community is that it is so out of control. It's pretty close to 3 out of 4 black children born to a single mother. There is not a community in this world that can survive very long with that kind of weight around its collective neck. Until that is turned around, the black community is doomed. Single parentage alone is doing more damage to the black community than the KKK ever could have dreamed.

Also, there are some great videos posted by black conservatives on YouTube. They absolutely destroy Democrats and other blacks who only vote Democrat. These guys have been red-pilled so hard, and they are furious at what the Democrats have done to their communities, and further angry at how 94% of blacks refuse to see it.

When you have the Democrat party calling Ben Carson a white supremacist, you really, even as a card-carrying, life-long Democrat have to stop and question what is going on.

Yall don't think Democrats already KNOW this? It's precisely what they intended to happen.
