All the stat shows is Black people are not family planning and Black women are stuck with the custody of the kid.
And that Black people don't marry...even in the event of a child being born.
So Black kids are just being coparented. Not actually seeing a stable home or a stable relationship...and they are probably growing up like..."Well I don't need to be married and I don't need to have a kid under one roof..."
How you gonna build wealth if you ain't married...
Black people actually need marriage. Black men and women actually need to stick together and create a stable home environment because that's how you build household wealth.
Either do that or wrap it up, pop a pill, insert that IUD in your p*ssy and stop creating loose kids...
Agreed.
My only argument against marriage, is that in many cases, it's legally against the best interests of men should the relationship end up in a divorce, because men typically get royally screwed by the process and the courts...
But marriage is absolutely ideal to repairing the structure of the black family. It legally combines assets and investments and ultimately increases the family's wealth giving more and BETTER options for both parties and their children. If you have a two parent married household…chances are you'll have a dual income that will allow you to buy a better home, in a better neighborhood, with better schools in a safer environment. You'll have MORE discretionary income for whatever else you need be it for college savings, other investments, and extracurricular activities….You can legally combine assets and pass them down to your children too. You know? All that stuff that people claim black folks don't have because of racism….
How isn't that common fukin sense by now?
A dual income through a marriage provides a stronger degree of stability and family planning when it comes to basic necessities such as healthcare, homes, and education.
As long as the marriage isn't abusive and destructive it's better for everyone involved, man woman and child.
"Co parenting" is generally a bare minimum effort to provide the most basic necessities to the child. Generally speaking, assets aren't legally combined and the
primary parent is still working with a single income household. There's less money to play around with and more stress for each parent involved.
I think just about every study confirms that children raised in a legally married household fair better than those who don't academically, psychologically, physically and criminally. with exceptions. I have yet to see or hear anything that confirms a single parent household or a 'co parenting' household is better or just as good as the married one (all things being equal of course).
And I don't care what anyone says….Normally, especially with black children…you can easily tell the difference between the black kids with two married parents under one roof, compared to to those who grew up with single parents and/or those who were co-parented. Everything seems to fair worse with them…everything from their relationships with the opposite sex, to their self-esteem, to their physical health to any psychological issues or academic problems.
It's amazing how short sighted some people are about this issue.
