1) African-Americans who don't intentionally integrate, self-segregate because they feel more secure in a culturally African-American majority area. 2) African-American society was viciously, ethnically cleansed by matriarchal welfare policies. 3) Dem. support among African-Americans depends on whether or not a person is employed in the govt. or non-profit sectors; when Black people work in private business or are self-employed, their tendency to be more traditional than other groups will re-assert itself.
1) Self-Segregation. Dr. Ben Carson, speaking with authority as HUD Secretary, says that 52% of African-Americans live in the suburbs. Suburbanites who might not like living in a majority African-American area, tend to be rather obsessional about proving they're not prejudiced, they 'like' living with African-Americans, they tend to go out of their way to be 'welcoming'. (In 'The King of Queens', the protagonist's resolutely normal 'best friend' is Black.) We, who ran a pregnancy-support charity for 7 years with a majority of poor Black & Latina mothers, know that African-Americans 'of modest socio-economic background' (real-speak: they're poor) who live in majority black areas, are exhibiting a kind of traditionalism in having a strong preference for 'being with our own kind'. Self-integrating (vs. self-segregating) African-American people are motivated by other values.
2) Welfare Matriarchy. Before the media lined up all its ducks on gay marriage, they let slip that Black people across the class spectrum (that's racist, you can’t even say that phrase) are more supportive of traditional marriage than European-Americans ('whites'). The issues in the great non-profit foundations (Rockefeller, Ford, Population Foundation) setting the policies of LBJ's great society, were a complex of ethnic cleansing and what Ralph Nader calls 'gonadal politics' (turning human sexuality against people as political manipulation). Anti-Father policies ('Papa Was a Rolling Stone') of President Lyndon Baines Johnson's 'Great Society' were ostensibly designed 'to stop "them" from making welfare a domestic business' but had the additional 'benefit', from the Foundation perspective, of destabilizing Black families to ensure leftist voting, break down Black traditional social mores and ensure easier social control.
Prior to the proliferation of contraception in the 1960s, the actual situation was that Blacks had higher rate than Whites of biologically intact families, father present in the home to make Boyz 2 Men, and lower rates of divorce than Whites. Having been thrown out of the poorest work in the Depression, Blacks had higher rates than Whites of small-biz self-employment (Quincy Jones' classic bass-harmonica, Sanford & Son music theme is titled 'Street Beater'. And yes, small-biz owners can generally act like they want, including Redd Foxx's "Fred Sanford" behavior, because When You Own The Biz, You're Your Own Boss, that's precisely what elites hate about small biz, self-reliance and independence, immunity from centralized control.) During Democratic NY Mayor John Lindsey's administration there was the open call, 'quit your job, close your barbershop, go down to City Hall to get FREE MONEY', a cultural Trojan Horse with the cost of terminally destabilizing Black society, rendering ordinary people in their communities highly prone victimization of crimes perpetrated by fatherless, rootless young men. (You can't say that, that's racist.)
3) Govt. Employees Vote Dem. Employment in the public, non-profit and education industries is a strong predictor that African-Americans will be resistant to the Trump offering of a level playing field, because those occupations, even at the lowest level, are elitist, anti-competitive and monopolistic, not requiring any accountability to enterprise proprietors and customers. Strong church attendance, private sector and self-employment are strong indicators that African-Americans will hold more traditional values of self-reliance and work diligence, since ‘the only way you can eat’ in those employment sectors which run on accountability and merit is ‘to work hard’. (That's racist appropriation, you can't talk about Black peoples' class.)
That's Racist. When Black Pro-Lifers put up billboards about Planned Parenthood targeting the black community for extermination (Margaret Sanger’s own term), they were called racist. (Huh, we want black people to have more children, so, ‘we’re racist’. How stupid do elites think people are? ) The bad news for Dems is that traditionalist Black people are more likely to vote than public sector employees. Hence vote-jimmying schemes from the Clinton Administration through Pelosi’s mail scam.
She gave me that look and said "Yeah, but I enjoy doing it!" I just smile and her and keep my mouth shut when she does it now.
4.) Crime stats.
I grew up in NE blue city where most of the African Americans were transplants from the South in the 1940s and 50s to get industrial jobs. All the pathologies of the ghetto were on display and that was grabbed on to by Democrats as the official narrative of black America. Its the stereotypes that I learned as well.
Later in life (but still several decades ago) I lived in the South, where AA society was very different. Family identity was so important and family reunions were yearly, multi-day affairs and had dozens of attendees. There was a clear traditional hierarchy based on age. Grandpa and Grandma (especially) ruled the roost. People were rooted in their neighborhoods and their local church.
Post-modernism, progressivism and the nanny-state have destroyed civil society overall, but its been particularly hard on the AA community.
I am reminded when I lived in a city that was basically 50:50 minority and white, and predominantly democrat. I would go into the polling place and announce I was a republican.
john lindsey was a pub....
“Anti-Semitic” writer E. Michael Jones had to do deep research, found that the normal black migration up into Detroit & al. in WW2 was manipulated by leftist elites to break Catholic political power (Spencer Tracey, “The Last Hurrah” 1958). So when MLK came up to Detroit to “march” against traditional Catholic Lithuanians, he was hit on the head by a rock, but Black ministers in Detroit told MLK to go home, he didn’t know what he was talking about, there was no overt discrimination in Detroit, just normal ethno-centrism functionally the same as Blacks wanting local majority—but the breaking of which was the precise point of “urban renewal”, and, hence, ‘racist’.

IQ distribution. It explains pretty much everything we see regarding races.
**IF** you can find a copy, read the book that caused Dinesh D’Souza to be “canceled” YEARS ago - The End of Racism.
The long knives came out, with prejudice.
In a free, rational, natural rights country, blacks are not allowed to commit crimes just because they are black. That would be black privilege.
I found it and I also found this review of it...
“D’Souza argues that the end of racism will only come about once laws like affirmative action, media sensationalism, genuine racists, and race-baiters stop separating and dividing Americans. He further argues that maladjusted behaviors must cease, everyone must take responsibilities for his own actions, and notions of political correctness will never overcome stark reality. Discrimination will end only when people have no reason to discriminate.”
D’Souza gets close but he still doesn’t dare to go the final step. Adopting his recommendations will absolutely not end the animosity between blacks and whites. In fact it is the genesis of that discord, the genesis of all the anti discrimination laws.
Here is the fundamental reality...
“1.Two groups of people who have significantly different AVERAGE IQ, AND...
2. Whose members can be easily identified as belonging to one group or the other...
can never peacefully coexist together.”
I’ll be glad to provide the rationale for this conclusion if you’re interested, It boils down to simple deductive logic.
I was just about to say...
Also forbidden, even on FR, Culture is downstream from Race.
Then along came the Liberals to "help" them.
You can try, but it will still sound ignorant.
If you REALLY want to read PC heresy, try The Bell Curve by Herrnstein and Murray.
“Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life” <— goes directly to your first post.
I’ve read it. It pretty much explains everything you see about races.
I see you’ve already reached your conclusion before even hearing it.
