The Family Unit is the backbone of society. Every society.
With a breakdown, the results are horrific. We are seeing and have seen that in our own society with the destruction of societal mores and glue being broken with the disintegration of the family unit. Its horrible.

Dont blame us for all the incompetence in your community, we are not the one’s constantly making irresponsible, immature decisions. If black politicians and community leaders were more concerned with doing and saying the right thing for their constituents and less concerned with being “ entertainers” , perhaps some progress would be made.

You make some great points, however, most childrens view on blacks come from the way they are portrayed in the news which shows the extremely high level of violence in their community. They also form their views by simply encountering how blacks live in their own neighborhoods and the way they conduct themselves in public. It doesnt take a 12 year old with a genious IQ to understand the level of incompetence in the black community. Blacks also tend to glorify their way of life on tv shows that young children watch. You dont need a racist parent to indoctrinate their children, blacks are pro’s at doing that on their own.

Im sure shows like the cosby show and the fresh prince were mostly viewd by whites because both shows depicted stable, traditional families. If whites are so racist, why did they embrace both shows? Because most whites related to those shows, thays why. Both shows depicted intelligent blacks usuing proper english and leading responsible lives.
Unfortunately, many blacks call intelligent speaks blacks who live responsible lives “ sell outs”.. wtf !!!!
Apparantly its a badge of honor to use incoherent grammar, rob, sell drugs, carry guns, and have babies without being married and not being able to support a new born child.
I just think the american people are sick and tired of all the excuses.

rollin if the Jews havent been kicked around, looked like inferior, locked up in camps for a 1000 years I dont know who has and look where they gotten to. So please dont try to tell me how wrong I am and look how a bad exuse you are making for blacks. Thish one you are def wrong buddy.

you do realize crime is an economic factor?

i went to highschool out of district, literally u can cross one street and all the black kids acted totally different

one side of the street was junior criminals, the other side of the street was future white collar workers, mind u everybody was black

crime occurs because lack of oppurtunities (SCHOOLS, jobs, SCHOOLS, good healthcare, jobs, etc)

you've probably never seen a town or neighborhood of 50k people that literally don't have a grocery store, and i'm not talking about a "food and liqour" joint

Cry me a river cookcounty. They can find jobs, they are out there. So they are poor and cant take care of themselves but yet they have bundles of out of wedlock kids????

I'm wrong for believing that people are fundamentally equal?

*SIGH*

How hard is it to comprehend that Out-of-Wedlock doesn't equate to "100%" absentee fathers?

In general our country ( The USA) have more than 1/3 of children born out of wedlock. Just look at the numbers people.

I watched Boyz in the hood the other night. I thought of this thread. Larry Fishburn said it best. Any fool can have a kid, but it takes a man to raise a kid. It's not just a black problem, it's all over the place. Too many people have kids that shouldn't have kids. You can be pro life all you want, but if you don't have the means to raise a kid, you should put the kid up for adoption or get an abortion and rethink your birth control methods. Tighter gun control laws because it's time. Society should not be supportive of all of the teenage pregnancies or any pregnancy where the child will not have a chance at life.

No you were wrong in the previous post, stating that only blacks have it tough, when in fact every jew has been though a 1000 times worse through history than blacks, not to mention other peoples So your argument is just an exuse.

No it doesnt but the majority of kids born out of wedlock dont know their fathers or ever see him. The father usually has other kids with other woman. The mothers usually have other kids with other men as well. Look at some pro athletes for gods sakes.

Statistics clearly show Children of unmarried mothers of any race are much more likely to perform poorly in school, go to prison, use drugs, be poor as adults, and have their own children out of wedlock. Blacks are at almost 75% ... hispanics are second at 53%..

You are again being less than truthful here. Of course there are troubled children from married couples. However, the percentage of troubled children from out of wedlock births FAR exceed those from a traditional family on a relative basis..its not even close.
Lets look at the homicides in chicago. I would bet that well over 90% of those perps are out of wedlock kids, no doubt. They are also black males: the majority. . why is that? No discipline and no consequences in the household. That is LAZY, irresponsible parenting. A single mom just cant control her kids nearly as well as a traditional family unit. Thats a fact.
The simple fact is young black males are running wild in our streets and commiting violent crime. That is undisputed.
Again, there are violent criminals from traditional families ( black and white) but not even close to those out of wedlock black males. its an epidemic and keeps getting worse because no one in the black community wants to stop it, it takes too much work.
Its so much easier to just make excuses.
To add insult to injury, these single moms give their children totally absurd names that have absolutely no meaning...
Kevar, LeVar, LeVan, Revan, Trevan, trevar, deAngelo, devanti, Lebron.. what the fuck!!! at least give them an african name that has meaning, give the kid a sense of identity and meaning for gods sakes.... what is up with these silly names? It makes them sound ignorant and they arent taken seriously. I just dont get it and never will.
Dont even get me started on the made up girls names...
It is rather amusing when they change their names to muslim sounding names but never step foot in a mosque.

I'd be willing to bet that Catholics have among the highest percentage of out-of-wedlock births compared to other religions, including atheists. And, it's for the same reason as black out of wedlock births, many of whom are also Catholic. The condemnation of contraception and abortion. Abortion is a very divisive issue, obviously, but contraception should be a no brainer. Any church or institution interfering with the availability of contraception to teenagers is part of the problem. It's also been proven that high schools with sex ed have less pregnancies than those without it. Of course, there are other factors. Schools with sex ed are typically well funded, in middle class areas, where as inner city schools are always put on the chopping block first, and sex ed would typically be one of the first things to go. The black church, very conservative on this issue, only exasperates this by actively lobbying against sex ed. The church is part of the problem. There's just no way around it. We're using 1950's methods to address a 21st century problem, and the results are disastrous.
