A long time ago.
Also, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Alan Keys, Thomas Sowell, Allen West, and others. And I'm fairly confident our own BHP.
All good men. I e-hug them all.

Every news program needs to lead off with this set of facts.
Then they need to sign off by repeating this set of facts.

The Black Family Is Struggling, and It’s Not Because of Slavery
The sad thing is that Obama, who most blacks may actually pay attention to, won't touch this subject with a ten foot pole.
The sadder fact is that not once during his tenure was he ever publicly asked about this set of facts.
No DEM has ever been asked about this set of facts.

Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell are giants among men. When they depart the scent there is nobody of their quality in the black community to replace them. Others may have the same message, but are just not as articulate in expressing it.

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?
You must mean General W.T. Sherman.

This does disproportionately affect black families, but the number of families of other races is impacted is increasing.
The welfare state is intended to grow and get more people addicted to handouts. It's a feature, not a bug.

I filled some medicine the other day for a black lady with 5 different kids with 5 different last names and all on Medicaid...
While fatherless children are a problem.. it takes 2 to tango and these welfare queen moms aren't helping the situation either .

Shame used to limit women from having 5 kids with 5 different men.
When that is no longer shameful we are lost.

Everyone needs to listen to the Freakanomics podcast episode titled "When helping hurts". It lays out how al these feel good policies actually fail miserably

Shame also used to be a motivator to get off food stamps. And while it may still be for some, that number is quickly dwindling. You don't feel shame over something you feel you are entitled to.

Agreed. And I should include that shame used to be a thing with men fathering 5 kids with five different women.
Shame has been vilified and now acceptance is used in its place. Results are as expected.

Yep. There is absolutely no reason for families in this country to be on food stamps/government assistance for multiple generations.
Unless people are legitimately handicapped/disabled, ALL welfare should be on a time limit. I think two years is beyond reasonable to find a job.

Yup, and I don't want to hear that BS about how the dads are being unfairly targeted and discriminated against under the law. That they're being ripped from the arms of their loving families and thrown in jail so they cannot provide. Yeah fricking. Right.
True story: I work in staffing/HR. When one of the employees for my company gets a court ordered wage garnishment (and it happens...a lot), I handle it. A few years ago, I had one new employee, a middle-aged black guy, who got about 4 or 5 wage garnishments over a three-week period for unpaid child support. All for different kids (ranging in age from 16 down to 1 year of age) with different women. I normally don't pry, but I asked this employee what this was all about. He essentially said he didn't care about the kids, wanted no part of their lives, didn't want to pay a thing for them, and all those "greedy arse hoes" talked and found out he got a job so they all went after him to collect. A week later he quit. The reason he gave me: If I don't have a job, I don't have to pay their asses a dime. I'd rather sit home and collect than work and payout.
Not saying he's the standard and that all black men act/think that way at all, but it was definitely an eye-opening experience for me. Oh, and frick him for sitting on his lazy irresponsible arse on my dime instead of being a man and taking responsibility for his shite.

Honest question. Did Barack Obama ever challenge young black men on this issue? At the time of his election he was probably the most influential person to African Americans in history. I seriously think one generation could completely change the fortunes of black America

He did not. He ingratiated himself to the Jessie Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world, instead of shining the light on the real problems. It's easier to blame someone else than accept responsibility for yourself.

The undeniable truth is that neither slavery nor Jim Crow nor the harshest racism has decimated the black family the way the welfare state has.
As the Progs systematically fight to have all statues, schools, streets, buildings, etc removed/renamed that they deem racist, maybe we should begin erecting statues and naming streets and buildings after Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell.
There's no way the idiot Dims/Progs would protest these two great Americans......., would they?

However, two-parent black families are rarely poor. Only 8 percent of black married-couple families live in poverty. Among black families in which both the husband and wife work full time, the poverty rate is under 5 percent. Poverty in black families headed by single women is 37 percent.
I think quality of character is the causal vector. It takes a LOT of character to be married (!).
It would seem that character is far better indicator of success than skin color. I am not surprised.

Most of the Academic black know this to be the case, but are scared to state the facts. Professor Williams has long stated this position.
