The descendants of the same people who would break up black families by selling them are today the loudest talking people trying to diss the black community about single parent families.
When people start talking about race, there are just some simple realities that cannot be denied. If you are white and don't like how you are portrayed, start thinking about how unpleasant it really is for us who are not white to be portrayed as weak inferior people who got conquered by a supposedly superior race and culture. It is not a pleasant subject. For this to end we all must face the unpleasantness.
The doctrine of Partus sequitur ventrem comes from European civil law. It means; “That which is brought forth follows the belly.” This principle determined the legal status of children born by slave women in the America as well as other English or European colonies In colonial law, the
partus doctrine justified enslavement, the indigenous people of the Americas and of the Africans imported to various European colonies personal property of those who imported them.
During the time American was a colony, this doctrine established de facto and de jure slavery for all children born to female slaves. Partus sequitur ventrem exempted the father from his obligations to children he fathered by slaves thereby creating the ability for slaveowners to have their way with enslaved women. Under this doctrine the biological father had no paternal responsibility to any child born to a slave woman. Because of this the slaver was provided the right to profit from
exploiting the labor of children born to slaves. It gave the slaver the ability to sell children by taking them away from their biological parents. Partus sequitur ventrem was the doctrine that created the first family separation policy in what is now America.
Despite the claims of Africans selling each other, the doctrine of Partus sequitur ventrem does not appear to be a part of the system of African slavery.
Partus Sequitur Ventrem — The Rule That Perpetrated Slavery And Legalized Rape
This was the legal doctrine that made any child of an American female slave a slave as well. It meant any white fathers had no financial responsibility for their progeny. They were free to rape their slaves at will as there were no laws against that either. With no concern for any children that might come from the forced union. In fact, there was a market for mulatto and octaroon children who would be purchased to work as domestics. Some owners (Thomas Jefferson) used their half-white slaves as their concubines, finding them more attractive the closer they were to white. Sally Hemings was Jefferson’s wife’s half-sister, the product of her father raping a slave. Then again the master might sell their offspring to keep the peace with their wives who might be annoyed at little slave children running around who favor their husbands.
Not talked about in proper society were the children of free white women and black slaves. White women who weren’t sure what color the child might be could get a legal abortion those days. “Cottonwood” was a remedy known to slaves who sometimes refused to have children after being raped or as often as the masters would like. Some women would be forced to have over a dozen children if they survived as death during childbirth was relatively common. The rare slave would be offered their freedom if they produced enough children. Sometimes the dark child of a white woman was abandoned or given away. Usually just sold off although technically they were legally free.

Breaking News!!!!!!
Slavery ended in America ended 157 years ago. So hey.....whew.....you can relax now.....okay.
And yet it took until the late 1960's for the Civil rights act to be passed.
What do you think it was like for Blacks between the end of slavery and the time the Civil Rights Act became law?
And even after the Civil Rights act there was not this instant end to racism and discrimination
You people need to study a little sociology.
Slavery was abolished in the 1860's
The right to vote was established in the 1860's
Citizenship for blacks was established in the 1860's
It was the Democrats who tried hard for the next 100 years to control the blacks into a second class existence.
The laws were long in place but Democrats century long disrespect for Constitutional law was the main reason for blacks rights being denied.
You need to do more reading of history.
I know my history quite well
you don't seen to understand how that history still affects society today.
and really does it matter if slavery ended in 1860 if it was still legal to marginalize Blacks? Still legal to lynch Blacks? Still legal to deny Blacks housing or education?
You are a riot since you can't even admit the main problem were ******* Democrats who screwed the blacks for 100 years, with the lynching, the vote tax, the segregation and other blatantly illegal crap that were mostly done by Democrats.
The lies about preventing blacks education is stupid because even the Democrats have supported and passed laws for children to attend school. but too many times, the inner city schools are underfunded, unsupported and crime ridden places. It is the Democrats and their **** ass Teachers union who oppose school choice and vouchers that would help black families escape bad schools.
Slavery was abolished in 1868, no blacks has been a slave for 152 years, thus that effect no longer applies, your rationalization is bullcrap, it is an anchor to people whose great grandparents never experienced slavery, It is a crutch that needs to be thrown into the trash.
There are NO laws today in existence to marginalize blacks, that is a total lie YOU are promoting, here is what
post 138 shows:
The Equal Pay Act of 1963
19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Women's Right to Vote (1920)
All Americans have the following:
Vote
Full Citizenship
Quittable pay
Full housing rights law
and many more.
Stop hanging onto the distant past as an excuse, it is what slows some blacks down, trying to find a way to remain unhappy and angry, which doesn't help anyone.
like I said you need to study some sociology.
A law does not erase the past.
Now I know YOU are full of shit, I never said a law erases the past.
How come in the early 1960's the Black family were intact as they had been for many decades prior, now a shambles today in the inner city ghetto's?
Yet the further away from the indignities Slavery and Segregation the worse the black family is.

The Decline of the African-American family
By
Dean Kalahar
Excerpt:
Race in America is set against the backdrop of horrible historic realities, minefields few want to cross -- just ask Representative Paul Ryan. But if we are ever to focus on children who, for no fault of their own, are often raised in environments where a stable father is missing, violence is predictable, education is eschewed, drugs are prevalent and dependency threatens freedom; we must stand up and speak facts before another generation of children are lost.
Racism is the normal explanation for the decline of the black family, but that analysis does not hold up. Thomas Sowell has shown that “the black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow where most black children grew up in homes with two parents.” In fact, “when blacks were just one generation out of slavery, the census data of that era showed that slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than had white adults.” One would be hard pressed to believe that race issues in America are bigger today they were in the past.

The Black Family: 40 Years of Lies
Rejecting the Moynihan report caused untold, needless misery.
Kay S. Hymowitz
Summer 2005
Excerpt:
Read through the megazillion words on class, income mobility, and poverty in the recent
New York Times series “Class Matters” and you still won’t grasp two of the most basic truths on the subject: 1. entrenched, multigenerational poverty is largely black; and 2. it is intricately intertwined with the collapse of the nuclear family in the inner city.
By now, these facts shouldn’t be hard to grasp. Almost 70 percent of black children are born to single mothers. Those mothers are far more likely than married mothers to be poor, even after a post-welfare-reform decline in child poverty. They are also more likely to pass that poverty on to their children. Sophisticates often try to dodge the implications of this bleak reality by shrugging that single motherhood is an inescapable fact of modern life, affecting everyone from the bobo Murphy Browns to the ghetto “baby mamas.” Not so; it is a largely low-income—and disproportionately black—phenomenon. The vast majority of higher-income women wait to have their children until they are married. The truth is that we are now a two-family nation, separate and unequal—one thriving and intact, and the other struggling, broken, and far too often African-American.

Fact: • In 1950, 72 percent of all black men and 81 percent of black women had been married.
Fact: • In 1965, 76.4 percent of black children were born to married women.
Fact: • Every census from 1890 to 1950 showed that black labor force participation rates were higher than those of whites.
Fact: • In 2009, 73% of black children were born to unmarried mothers.
Fact: • In 2005, Black people accounted for 13% of the total U.S. population yet they were the victims of 49% of all the nation's murders; and 93% of black murder victims were killed by other black people.
The inner city black family have been in a downward spiral since the early 1960's.
It is clear YOU are not a sociologist!
You are as anti black as most white democrats are.
