Yes,it was a boom time for the one third of so of Blacks who were in the middle and entrpeneurial class but the Eighties were also the decade that the traditional black family just about vanished from the hood!

Did the black families 'vanish' because they were destroyed, or because traditional families had the strength to escape and the will to do so before they were destroyed?

It would not be hard to imagine that traditional black families would have been a stabilizing influence, and that the places they left would suffer from their departure. On the other hand, I don't know that such families would have survived too many generations in the environment of liberal hatered that would have surrounded them had they stayed.

Well,I contend that it was the Feminist-liberal created"sexual revolution"that brought down the black family-and plenty of WHITE ones as well.The black family, however,being on a more precarious footing in the first place,could not withstand the pressure as the younger generation went into the "playa"lifestyle and into nihilism.
I grew up with many white kids who were just as sexually immoral as anyone I ever saw in the hood.Yet they mostly had stable family support systems to move on into more stable lifestyles.The blacks were left with AIDS and single mothers clinging to the welfare titty.
