Feds dumped way too much money into the system, which flowed upwards into wealth and benefitted rich people. Inflation destroys the poors paltry purchasing power.

Uncle Sams money printer favors rich people.

I'm assuming you mean the majority of households that are single parent? That's what you should mean, because that's why. The only problem with saying policy is not a part of that root problem is incorrect. Policy absolutely incentivizes single parent households via welfare, medicaid, food stamps, etc. , etc. It's the democrats' greatest tool of keeping black people in line with their party, and it's a shining example of why democrats don't care about black people and are the party of racists.


It’s a culture issue. Yes, some policies incentivize single parent households, but there’s a reason this doesn’t affect other groups. Politics isn’t the reason my father stuck around and taught me to be a man. It was because it was instilled in him from a broader cultural basis

The "broader, cultural basis," comes from voting for racist democrats at a 90+% rate for well over half a century. Black Americans are the only demographic to ever come close to that voting statistic. Nobody else votes for the Republicans or democrats at a rate even close to that. It has everything to do with policy. Democrat policies and black America culture are intertwined like the water cycle. You can't have one without the other. Democrats are responsible for the plight of black America, black America is responsible for the democrats' political power. Unfortunately for black Americans, the democrats are maneuvering to move on without them.

Fix or abolish an establishment politician like the Republican party is abolishing their's, or wallow in the cultural rot they've both created. Noone can do it for black Americans. Problems won't be solved unless the truth is acknowledged, and that goes for all of the fundamental, as well as the complexities, of life.

It's ignorance to separate policy from the black American experience. It's ignorance to separate ANY American experience from policy, but certainly from a people who, statistically, come as close to 100% as you can get from voting for what they're getting.

Your father, like mine, stuck around because he and his baby's mother weren't incentivized at every single step to not stick around, but also weren't encouraged by a political party to blame the black man because of it.

There's no incentive for black America's ruling party to encourage independence. That's not useful for them. Period. End of story.

The excuses have gotten more popular and trendy, and encouraged. So they sit on their asses knowing they can blame other people. Then they see negative consequences. And shite gets worse. Then they blame other people all over again. Rinse and repeat.

Meanwhile white people are still going to provide for their families and prepare for their future.

White guilt is a finite resource. When it totally runs out, I wonder how black America will respond, when people stop listening?

Surely you're not suggesting that a stable family structure could have an impact on success, bigot.
Or that we have a student and professional immigration policy to bring in the best, brightest, and--most importantly--wealthiest Asians (who then steal our IP and bring it back to their own countries to reverse engineer).

The real threat isn't from poor Latinos crowding around the border entries. It's from the intellectuals and scientists we happily admit on O Visas.

Your mother and father just like mine could’ve taken advantage of the same policies that are enacted by democrats. It’s not policy that kept them around or out of wedlock. It’s cultural. You’re extremely out of touch if you think politics play this big of a role in the lives of the people making these decisions.

Most of that gap was created between 2020-present. Minority employment, entreneuership, and wage growth was up during the Trump administration and pre-Covid.

Your extremely out of touch if you think inflation and over regulation don't play a part in the economy.

I own a small business that was funded by myself. Pre 2020, I had 3 employees. Due to inflation and regulations, I'm down to myself and a part time employee. If I hire an additional full time employee that pays more $40k/yearly, I'm in the red

Politics might not play a direct role in poor decision making by poor families but it certainly played an indirect role by creating a welfare state that led to the demise of black culture. And in spite of these obvious failed policies, Blacks continue to vote overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. Meanwhile, Democrats have controlled every major city with huge poor black populations for decades.

The biggest problems for black communities are black leaders. There is a culture of exploitation and classism. Black people that move up prey on those that don't. Only by keeping other black people down can these "leaders" maintain power and wealth.

It is an old game. It is Caesar tossing coins to the plebs.

This is why the government needs to mandate all companies with more than 25 employees must have their own DEI department.

In a few years when most work is automated, we will have a massive underclass with no hope.

Thanks for your contribution and failure to think forward.

You're having a hard time with this. You're still missing the point: they didn't/ don't at the scale that black Americans do because nobody votes for a single party's polices on a scale like black America and democrats, and that enslavement dictates their culture like no other.

You're out of touch if you think policy doesn't have an effect on whether or not a mother takes on the role of a working mom, who marries her baby daddy, instead of NOT doing that, getting welfare, medicaid, food stamps etc.

Democrat welfare state policies and black American culture are like peanut butter and jelly. No other ethnicity has that unique trait of a political party dictating what their culture is allowed, encouraged, incentivized and pretty much forced to be by coercion and holding the proverbial police state carrot in front of them for political power. A black dad doesn't stick around because democrat policies encourage he and the mother to not do that, and have entrenched that cultural concept for generations. It's a simple, factual concept.

Do African Americans overall support the Democratic Party? Yes but historically so do Asians and Jews. Guess what, young asian and jewish men aren’t walking out on their families because democratic policies that benefit children out of wedlock. These policies haven’t encouraged them to do the same for generations while still voting blue. The young African American family isn’t citing political policies to govern their actions.

Asian and Jewish families while historically voting blue have only gotten stronger. Look at their culture.
