Who is responsible for the destruction of Black America?

This is just another stupid topic trying to conflate the right wing conservative Democrats of more than half a century ago with the liberal Democrats of today.

The requisite historical ignorance to buy into this bullshit is profound, really.

Or in other words its just another day in Conservative Fable world
 
Black America is one huge clusterfuck. The welfare agenda promoted by liberals has been a monumental failure.
since you're not black, you have no clue.
The state of black America is a big inside secret I suppose.
no, just invisible to people like you .
Don't know about that. I keep seeing them all the time, especially in reference to violent crime.
that's odd because white commit the most crime of any race in America .
guess black people are more photogenic and sexier .
 
You know you've won an argument when you ask a simple straightforward question and they won't answer it directly. Just insults and hateful rants for daring to ask the question.
Since it's not straight forward and not honest there is no reason to answer it except with the derision it so richly deserves.

In other words you can't admit to the simple fact that those big cities have been run by Dems for decades and are now basically ruins.
I would but that would be false and ignorantly too simple.

To the extent that the general "African-American" community is devastated, the overwhelming cause TODAY is the rate of illegitimacy. Illegitimacy can be statistically correlated to essentially all of the major social ills infecting the "Black" community including, HS dropout rate, drug and alcohol addiction, incarceration, truancy, unemployment, and poverty generally, not to mention that children who were born to an unwed mother are five times more likely to have children out of wedlock than children of an intact family.

The secondary question is, what is the cause of the pandemic of illegitimacy? Does the "Black" community even recognize it as problematic?

Is it well-intentioned anti-poverty programs which, at one time, "punished" a family for having a man present? Programs which make single-parent familyhood, on the dole, an acceptable lifestyle choice?

The unfortunate fact for "Negro" apologists is that 3-4 generations ago, when the "Black" community was 3-4 generations CLOSER to slavery, Jim Crow, and all that, there was dramatically LESS illegitimacy than there is now. Indeed, in the 1930's the divorce rates and illegitimacy rates of white and black populations were virtually the same.

Is it race-hucksters who seemingly try to convince all "Black" people that if they are poor, unemployed and otherwise wretched, it is NOT THEIR FAULT, but rather it is the fault of the White society which excludes them? Is it the subculture itself that abandoned the shame and social stigma that used to be associated with bastardy.

Consider the lyrics of the old Supremes' song, "Love Child." The singer-narrator was refusing to engage in unmarried reproductive conduct with her male companion because she didn't want to bring another "love child" into this world. "...the name of shame I've been wearing - 'Love Child'..." Where is that shame? Why was it abandoned? Misplaced sympathy and compassion?

Is it the Supreme Court, which invented "Affirmative Action," thus convincing generations of "Blacks" that the only way they can hope to achieve some measure of success is if some positions in a school or company or agency are set aside for less-capable "Blacks"?

Lordy, lordy. Who's to say?

The modern day right wing conservative platform: Blacks were better off under Jim Crow and slavery.

We get it. We get it.

Sounds just like the old right wing conservative platform of more than 50 years ago.

The only thing that's changed is their party affiliation.
 
.

The damage done to generations of American Blacks by Political Correctness, Identity Politics and the soft bigotry of reduced expectations might take generations to heal and reverse, even if the healing started today.

Goddamn shame. They've been victimized enough in this nation's history.

But not Slavery and Legalized Racism tho. All that takes is a good ol "get over it" dont cha know

Yes, that was the first time they were victimized.

You think this is funny.

3 or 4 generations ago, with less illegitimacy, and prior to the anti-poverty programs, the poverty rate was even greater in black America than today. Blaming everything on illegitimacy and anti-poverty programs doesn't really make sense. If is obviously a complicated problem with many causes going back for many generations.
