The fact is that most of the social pathology seen in poor black neighborhoods is entirely new in black history. Let’s look at some of it.

Today the overwhelming majority of black children are raised in single female-headed families. As early as the 1880s, three-quarters of black families were two-parent. In 1925 New York City, 85 percent of black families were two-parent. One study of 19th-century slave families found that in up to three-fourths of the families, all the children had the same mother and father.

That was quite a paragraph when all you really had to say was.......welfare state. 😜 They get paid to have kids and then never have to work. It's as simple as that.

I was on the Myrtle Beach Against Bikefest FB page today reading comments since it’s this weekend and there was a black poster complaining about all the ‘racism’. I clicked on his name and read a few posts from his page. I got to this one............
