In my opinion, the “family problem” you refer to is what I refer to as “Black Culture”, and it is a poisonous and corrosive culture.
It is the culture eschewed by men like Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas.
It is the culture that glorifies violence, promotes the idiotic “cult of respect” (which often results in violence) disparages those who embrace scholastics and learning, demeans women, and results in 77% of black children being born out of wedlock and growing up without a father in the house.
That is the most destructive culture in this country right now, bar none, especially when you consider that 40% of all rapes, murders, armed assaults, and felonious battery in the United States are committed by probably 2% of the population at most.
I work with plenty of hard-working, capable, black men and women, but they are fighting an uphill battle if they are contending with the wider, destructive Black Culture described above.
Yes, you have it right about what I referred to as a “family problem”. It is at its root a cultural problem. The black people that I have known in my life, high school, college and in the workforce, had overcome the negative influence of black culture. They were just like you and me.
But those guys and gals are the exception. Unfortunately I don’t see things getting better anytime soon. We have government that pays black women if they have no breadwinner in their home, lowers educational standards for blacks and puts in place programs to promote backs to universities and jobs where they do not have the knowledge or education to succeed.
If you are a Dem, this is a big plus. It keeps those blacks “on the farm”. If you are a humanitarian, in any sense of the word, it is criminal.
