A poster earlier this week said it was due to the oppression from white people 70 years ago

That's what started a culture that celebrates/promotes bastard children?

The black family didn't really begin falling apart until the late 60s. The subsequent 20 years tore it apart due to a combination of LBJ's social reforms, the drug trade beginning to really target young black males in the 70s and Reagan's drug enforcement policies.
The result was an entire generation of young AA males either strung out on drugs, dealing them or both, a system of welfare which allowed them to sustain themselves in such a lifestyle and a drug policy that disproportionately targeted and punished them. The effects then propagated to future generations who simply did as they saw their parents do.
The biggest thing we could do to help black America today is not to give them more financial aid but to drastically reform our drug enforcement policy.

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.
