Slavery of Africans began way before the United States was ever known to exist. Don't blame this country for its origins. And some blame belongs to the African sellers of their own kind, no?
In the minds of a white supremacist gynocentric society, black men are just up and leaving their families. But in reality, more females are choosing the government and replacing husbands/fathers. And they're silent of the types of men these females tend to choose rather than decent ones.
It is easy to blame men and only men, especially Black men. With the "I don't need a man" brand of feminism, that has hurt alot of men.
Slavery went on from 1619 to 1865
Jim Crow 1877-1965
Blacks have only experience some sense of freedom for a bit more than 50 years.
Most black Americans are descendant of slaves.
It is not the same thing to be the son of a slave than to be the son of a merchant, a farm owner, a businessman, a doctor, a lawyer, a police officer, a school teacher, etc, etc.
Blacks started at ZERO and had ZERO education or training. They had no one to look up to as the families were broken apart.
American Blacks have done phenomenally well given the original position from where they started. And 51 years is not a long time since the end of Jim Crow.
Most people of European heritage like myself can look back for 500-1000 years of successful heritage where families were together and values were passed down. Blacks could not pass anything down because there was no family.
Some American blacks found a way to somehow have a family and those folks have done very well and surpassed many whites.
Oppression from 1619 until 1965 created a generation of people that was overtly sensitive to perceived racism. They have lived in stress for hundreds of years and that explains the hypersensitivity to cops and authority.
Because racism isn't dead in the US. Anyone who thinks so is either naive or delusional.
So you think that all black children are raised in bad, unsupportive families when they are born out of wedlock??
I was born out of wedlock and I have a great family. I knew my father (and still do and am a "daddy's girl.") I know my entire extended family and even grew up with 3 of my great grandmothers, and two of my great grandfathers throughout my childhood. I know cousins who are the children of my great great grandparents and we are a very close knit family. This is the case for a majority of black people. We are very family oriented no matter the circumstances of a child's birth.
Your link which has been debunked numerous times does not negate what I stated.
FWIW, this will by my only response to you because you always post the same things over and over and rarely provide any sort of interesting discourse in conversations. And I only responded to state that the link has been debunked. There were indentured servants in America who were white, not slaves. FWIW as I also already stated, the first black people brought to Virginia in the 1600s also were not slaves, they were indentured servants. Slavery was not established as a tradition until the mid 1600s and it was not institutionalized until the late 1600s/early 1700s in the American colonies.
Then you should have no trouble thriving, opening your own businesses and succeeding then. Good to know. You will not be needing to bother anyone else since everything is working smoothly.

Nope I don't...
I actually did have a thriving part time business and I work in a highly sought after field, I am college educated and I am doing wonderfully in life, as I have stated in this thread.
Not sure why you even quoted me since I don't fit your stereotypical narrative of a lowly black person looking for handouts from you.

More Black females are choosing the government to support their child-rearing over husbands/fathers for their children? What does that say about Black females' opinions of Black men? Looks like the Black population's en masse vote of "No Confidence" in Black men to me...

I agree. Eliminate welfare program benefits for unwed Black mothers and their babies since they're supposedly doing so well.

White females are catching up there as far as turning to the nanny state. Also a lot of them have convinced black females to turn against black men, and it worked.
why is race an issue???? because many people are more interested in what others think and do vs. just focusing on themselves and their particular lot in life!
