Before the massive Democrat led expansion of the welfare state, Black America had some of the strongest family formation rates in the nation under conditions far harder than today. Segregation existed.
Yes Racism existed.
Economic hardship existed.
Yet marriage, church attendance, trade skills, entrepreneurship, and two parent households still formed the backbone of many Black communities including Tulsa Black Wall street. .
Democrats went to the drawing board and said “Let’s get more black quimbo’s that we can pay to keep these boys/girls on OUR plantations” Just as described in the book “Uncle Toms Cabin”z
The comes the Kamala Harris’s, Warnock’s, Abrams, Roland Martin’s and Crockett’s… The Don Lemon types.
Then came 6-7 decades of democrats policies that often incentivized dependency over family stability.
Lyndon B Johnson’s Great Society era dramatically expanded welfare programs while simultaneously reducing the economic and social necessity of marriage in many low income communities.
Add in deindustrialization, collapsing urban schools, soft on crime policies, mass narcotics infiltration into inner cities, cultural degradation in media, and the normalization of fatherlessness through entertainment and politics… and the result was generational fracture.
When government becomes the daddy provider, the protector, the disciplinarian, and the moral compass… the nuclear family weakens.
Professor Thomas Sowell and I have spoken extensively about this pattern.
It was exposed in the 1965 Moynihan Report that warned that the collapse of the Black family structure would lead to long term poverty, crime, educational decline, and instability if it accelerated.
People scream about “systemic racism” while ignoring the system that actually changed outcomes:
the destruction of the family unit.
Strong families create resilient communities.
Broken fatherless families create dependency pipelines, chaos, and mayhem.
And many Democrat politicians discovered that dependent populations are easier to control politically than strong independent nuclear families.
That conversation makes people uncomfortable… but the outcomes and statistics are staring America directly in the face.
