I think that there is an enormous amout of hypocrisy and lack of insight that surrounds this issue. It comes down to a very simple question. Either you believe that Black people are inherently lazy and immoral or you believe that a cultures history in large part shapes how that culture evolves.
We don't hesitate to take credit for the contributions our forefathers made to how white culture has evolved yet we deny the influence on black history of black culture today. How does that make sense?
Neither do we hesitate to acknowledge how our own personal history has influenced the formation of our values etc. then some blame the lack of decent parenting for the behaviors they see within the culture while at the same time condemning the child produced from that "poor parenting".
Does history only matter if we like the results? Shouldn't the premise that history impacts a cultures evolution remain consistent?
I think African Americans have the worst family structure in the land, that's why they're poor (speaking in terms of the average.)
Baby's daddy almost always leaves, leaving the mom to raise kids on her own. Mom works two jobs, kids are left alone or raised by grandparents.
Result is kids with no discipline. We've all seen how black children act. I know I have. No discipline. Running around all crazy, yelling, hyperactive, can't focus on anything. That comes from not having a mom and a dad to instill discipline in you.
That lack of discipline translates to later in life. You ever go to the movies and have black people behind you, talking the whole time? I know I have. Nearly got in a fight over it last weekend matter of fact because I told them to shut the **** up.
If you show that lack of discipline, how employable can you possibly be? How can you hold down a job? Hence they are poor.
On the biology side, there are studies that show that blacks are behind the curve when it comes to IQ scores, and supposedly those have nothing to do with upbringing or learning - it's genetic. Jews are the smartest, followed by Asians, followed by Whites, followed by everyone else, and blacks are at the bottom. I have no idea how to interpret that data, nor do I care. Clearly, there are outliers. Barack Obama, for example, is clearly smarter than the average person, very likely with a genius IQ. So for that reason, we can't discriminate on the basis of racial averages - it wouldn't be fair to the exceptions.
Overall, it's a complicated issue. Resolving it needs to start within the black community. The leaders need to find a way to promote the value of the nuclear family. That's where it starts.
