You mean it' not that simple to make a better choice on who you have kids with?
how?
Yes. That’s exactly what I mean.

Some single mothers make terrible choices in men that's truth. However the choice to commit a crime is the child's fault
I love Denzel, but, he's stuck in the 70's before the crack era turned us into criminals and the 94 crime bill.
Dude is a troll. Don't believe any of the shyt these geeks say about their personal lives unless they've posted proof because they come here to transform into the person they wish to be. Just read his posts and you know that poster ain't about shyt, don't have shyt poppin in real life.cacs and old ass nikkas love these threads
rented skj talking a lot of talk in this thread talking about "Im a parent" yet this nikka is about 50 yrs old and makes multiple threads a day about how all he does is chase 20 year old stirpper thots all day and fukks chicks who are married to other black men and brags about it.
Where ya kids at when u out here sponsoring whores and being a side nikka to a married chick
It wasn't less racist in the 20/ but whites used different methods to enforce racism in the 20s than they've used since then.fam. this doesn't have a thing to do with what I said
I was speaking on our communities in the early 20th century.
are you arguing that america was LESS racist in the 1920's? during jim crow?
obviously later on with lyndon B johnson it switched our whole shyt up and we can discuss that if you like.
but make no mistake about it, there was a point in time when the black family unit was extremely tight.
so again - how do you cats that disagree with denzel explain this?
What's your point? Stop being a bytch and come out and state your point directly. What are you saying?

Yup.read a book once that stated in the early 20's, black people had lower divorce rates than whites.
there use to be nobody more committed to family than the black man in this country.
were we not living under a system of white supremacy then?
I've had this discussion many times with the "there's nothing I can do because I live under a system of white supremacy." types. Their brains are just dead set locked on it.
If you look at the data, more than 50 years ago we had less of everything (income, education, financial literacy, legal rights etc etc) and yet we had lower crime rates, lower incarceration rates and less broken homes than we do now. So what gives? And that's not to say that something as vague as "white supremacy" doesn't exist on some level....but this idea that it has completely invaded the moral compass of black folks today doesn't add up to me.
My great grand parents, grand parents and parents had it significantly harder with significantly less options than I and my cousins had....yet many of us (not including myself) are far worse off than they ever were.
I often hear about "slavery" being the link to today's broken homes....but data has shown that during reconstruction in the Gilded Age of America, blacks (ex-slaves mind you) married as often as whites did in those times. The "broken homes" and illegitimacy birth rate only begin to see a high uptick around the late 60s early 70s and more contemporary times.

Let me just say this.
Anybody advocating less procreation in the black community is the goddamn Devil.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

The sentencing is lopsided against the African man but let’s not be disingenuous that dudes aren’t committing these crimes they’re accused of.
Systemically, there are mechanisms pushing the African man towards crime to survive but ultimately become a slave for the prison complex.
How many Black people do you employ?
Integration and social entitlement programs are what destroyed the African family and in part, African man, in the USA.

Agreed, although they were necessary evils to some extent, LBJ's "War on Poverty" ironically had the inconsequential effects of reversing much of what it was intended to fix, and we're still reeling from alot of that today.
It's no surprise that many of these socially engineered/experiments and programs started in the 60s and 70s...which happens to be when we see the gradual increase in fatherless homes and crime rates.
Just three right now. Why?
just curious as Black people often complain about a lack of jobs being one of the reasons crime in inner city communities is so high yet don't mind bringing more children into this system and having no jobs ready for them.
