“I think it’s long term fruit from being enslaved (families torn apart, men emasculated etc.)
You need to stop thinking like that. “
Well, I don’t know that I’m willing to quit thinking. . .I don’t offer it as an excuse.
When an entire race is enslaved for decades, I think it has some repercussions. How was the integrity of the black family, with a man providing and leading the way, maintained during slavery? They were bred, they were sold and separated, and the men were kept infantalized.
I agree they bounced back admirably well, but, they couldn’t seem to sustain it, and I think that is due to welfare and slavery repercussions. Couldn’t prove it; just an opinion.
