I think it is because they are genetically disposed to be criminalsYep, and if anyone thinks none of this has anything to do with a father being around, they are living in denial.
Because there was never a time in this country that folks like yall didn't claim most black people were criminals.....can you tell me about this magical time when this wasn't the case?
In fact, pretty much anything black folks did was criminalized - our "vagrancy" laws came about because of black people....
"As Reconstruction ended in the late 1870s, new laws targeting Black Americans were enacted in many states. For example, vagrancy laws once again criminalized unemployment and other statutes allowed for harsh punishments for even the most minor crimes."

The History of Slave Patrols, Black Codes, and Vagrancy Laws
This mini-lesson provides a brief overview of the history of policing in the early United States and then examines how laws, and biased enforcement of those laws, were used to control the lives of Black Americans in the South following the Civil War.
Nobody gave a fuck if the black man or woman came from a 2 parent home or not -- since that wasn't the reason they used back then to accuse black people of being inherently criminal.....so the question still remains...are black people just genetically pre-disposed to be criminals?
