That is not the implication at all. The decline of family among black Americans parallels that of American society at large, arguably compounded by cultural pathologies stemming from racism (See the work of the late Nigerian-American Prof. John Ogbu, among others). One simply cannot hope though for some magical cosmic rebalancing that undoes ancient harms done to black America at the expense of white America. The remedy for such hurts is not to nurse old grievances but to find the lesson, heal, and set a true course going forward.

By saying that it’s not the implication ‘at all’ is pretty arrogant and tone deaf when there is an obvious pushback to these comments from lots of people.

By shifting the conversation to America as a whole, you’re avoiding what was actually said. And if it’s something that goes beyond just the black population, why bring up Jim Crow and how it was better then? Did Jim Crow keep white families together too?

The entire premise and the way t was presented was offensive and stupid.
