This is not because senior Democrats believe that 7 out of 10 babies born out of wedlock and raised without fathers is a good thing; on the contrary, they know it's very problematic; they themselves didn't grow up that way and they would never want their children and grandchildren to grow up that way.
They are quite content to leave that demographic stuck with this very serious problem because that way, the Democrats' policies of entitlements, welfare goodies, and blaming "white supremacy" continues to get them votes. And they keep doing it because it has proven to work.
This is why non-underclass Democrats of all races who think/thought President Trump, conservatives, Republicans were/are people who put party over principle have no idea as to how thoroughly ironic their belief is and how utterly ignorant and naive their views are - their party has been doing the same for decades, to the very people the left deems "marginalized" and "oppressed."
This is also why liberal intellectuals defend "black identities" that include destructive traits like uneducated language usage, gangster rap, glorification of violence, disparaging schoolwork to the extent black students who try to study hard are bullied and mocked if not physically assaulted. Liberal intellectuals defend "black identities" of this type ostensibly to defend the right of blacks to be culturally unique, but they are in fact infantilizing and objectifying black people to the extent blacks are pets and mascots to their own (the liberal intellectuals') sense of moral superiority - "leave them alone, they can't help it, that's who and how they are."
Democrats are the only ones forming 501(c)3s to head off problem pregnancies among all underprivileged groups. Democrats are encouraging STEM, leadership skills, college readiness, on-level literacy, etc.
Look what demographic (voting democrats) are actually WORKING on the problem of poverty and hopelessness in the poor Black communities, rather than complaining about it.

And that's going to reduce the out of wedlock birthrate?
That's going to reduce black criminality (gangs)?
Those things may all be good and nice, but it is the Democratic Party which brought on the welfare state policies of the 1960s which destroyed the black family. If you aren't aware, you should look at black illegitimacy rates before and after the Great Society programs were devised and implemented. It wasn't the Republicans who did that.
Any comment on what I said about how Democrats exploit black people's problems for votes?
A rather emotional post. Let me see if you can refute anything I said.

ABSOLUTELY it is. I see it working right here, in my community. Get girls involved in Robotics, or any career path, put successful role models in front of them who look like them (female black business owners or attorneys, techies, etc.) and give them something to shoot for.
Middle school girls are where you start reducing the out of wedlock birthrate in the future. Teaching them they can be somebody, not just somebody's baby mama. And I'm hearing women reject that term - as well they should. A "first baby mama" isn't a position of honor, it's exactly the opposite. It's a lowly position, with no power.
So, yes. Agencies like Friends of the Children, Jeremiah Project, Robotics, etc., lift girls up who turn into young women who desire more than to be a struggling single mom.

Do they still have those midnight basketball games that were so successful?

On the grassroots level those programs are commendable.
However, the senior leaders of the Democratic Party continue to parrot the line of white supremacy, marginalization, oppression, and systemic racism. a Democrat politician who flirts with the idea of doing away with entitlements will see his/her career sink faster than a ball dropped from the top floor of a skyscraper.
You didn't address other points. Why not? Because you know it is true. On a party platform level, Democratic Party leaders will continue to keep poor black Americans hooked on entitlements while telling them they're victims. That's how they get votes.
I have made this point repeatedly this morning and you offer NO refutation of it. That's because you can't.
If I am wrong - then refute what I said about Democratic Party politicians keeping black Americans stuck in this cycle of dependence and grievance for the purpose of getting their votes.

I have no idea the answer to your question.
What I see, is Democrats are the only ones trying to find a solution out of poverty.

Do you see Democrats letting in illegal aliens?
Do you know they aren't tested for Covid-19?
Do you know many illegal aliens have raped and killed Americans?
Do you know Democrats' policies have demoralized police and caused many to quit or to retire early and that many U.S. cities have seen double-digit % increase in violent crime?
Do you know many of the victims of this higher criminality are black people who can't afford to move to safer areas?
If you don't know any of this, then you may be better off learning more about what's happening. No one can know everything, but it's ironic that people like you claim Democrats are helping minorities when Democrats have harmed them for decades.
Did you know the Ku Klux Klan lynched whites and blacks who voted Republican?
Did you know that until the 1960s, black illegitimacy was roughly as low as white illegitimacy?
No?
Why don't you know these things?
You're saying you don't know because one cannot be guilty for defending a policy one isn't aware of. And that, ClaraC, is precisely where the Democratic Party wants you: unaware and compliant. That's how a very senior Democratic Party operative described the population in an email Wikileaks hacked.
Do you know who John Podesta is? He's the one who wrote that.
You didn't know about that email? You didn't know who Podesta is either?
What I see, is Democrats are the only ones trying to find a solution out of poverty.
Right. Which is why black and Hispanic employment peaked under President Trump. Because Democrats.
