Daniel Patrick Moynihan Predicted the Future of the Black Family But Too Few People Actually Listened
January 17, 2013 by Jamila Akil
The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, the 78-page report written by a then 38-year old Daniel Patrick ‘Pat’ Moynihan, an assistant secretary of labor for policy in the Lyndon B. Johnson administration, was never supposed to see the light of day.
The Negro Family, which later came to be widely known simply as “The Moynihan Report,” did not even originally have Moynihan’s name on it’s cover–the document was only meant to be distributed to high-ranking members of the Johnson administration in order to spur discussion regarding what policies could be implemented in order to assist the Negro family with the task of fully integrating society.
But, Moynihan was also issuing a warning. The Negro family was already suffering rates of familial disintegration, poverty, and out-of-wedlock pregnancy at rates far higher than white families; if something was not done soon, he warned that the problems of lower class blacks (i.e., a “tangle of pathology”) may well become self-perpetuating, if they had not become self-perpetuating already.
Excerpted. Go to the link to see what a Democrat Moynihan predicted re the dire results for the Blacks in America after living in the War on Poverty.
The solution to Chicago violence is simple. Just give every citizen the same level of personal protection enjoyed by the mayor. He does everything in complete safety, all the while enjoying a very good life. Why wouldn’t he want every one of his constituents to enjoy equally good lives?
I believe you’re largely correct regarding the correlation between our nation’s rejection of God and the destruction we see all around us. This is what God threatened Israel with, and we read of that threat carried out again and again in various ways. And it’s what Paul describes in Romans 1 - not limited to Israel, but (I believe) merely God’s natural law at work.
I question your proposed solution, however. It’s reminiscent of the reformations ordered by Josiah and other kings, which looked good on the surface, but which God assessed this way:
“And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh unto me, and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught them...”
Because in the 60's, you had a justice system that was sure and swift. You had a death penalty that was used quite frequently.
You talk about the usual suspects coming out. Well your side, the God squaders always come out squeeling about the death of children and innocents, (gang members ages 14 to 20) even though the killings are almost always about drugs and the territory needed to sell them.
Your bunch is the group that started to undermine the justice system with calls for mercy and the end of the death penalty in the 60's and were used as allies of the leftists.
And you're still lining up with the leftists every time one of you moronic bible thumpers comes out wringing your hands about "GUN VIOLENCE". Making it harder for me to obtain and keep firearms is going to stop Rasheed and Quintel from shooting each other.
Look in the mirror if you want to see where the problem lies.
