Biden's anti crime and drug bills from the early 90s leading to mass incarceration for minorities leading them to being unemployable due to criminal records has wreaked havoc. Resulting in minorities being poor and families torn apart with parents in prison. Goes way back before that. Centuries, indeed. But ya, the war of drugs was bad

Not directly, but a history of hate and poverty sure could create a situation where someone would be more violent You don’t think racism was that big a deal I take it?

Racism was real and you’re hurting your cause by watering it down…but go ahead and diminish if it gives you some momentary pleasure. 2

WAS it a big deal? Absolutely. Will it, unfortunately always be here (everywhere in the world)? Yes... it will. Is that the reason idiots are shooting each other in the streets? No. Socioeconomics due to a direct result of single parent homes is the reason IMO (I have a sociology/criminal justice undergrad degree, clinical mental health masters). There is a victim mentality across the board in all walks of life. No one should tell someone else, based on race... ethnicity... sex.... etc... that they are victims and that they don't have a shot in life. It's bogus in 2022.

And why were black families hurt more by single parenthood? Racism. Black males not being allowed to have decent jobs sure hurts people. Having that in your history makes it part of the culture and things just do not change over night. Like I said, violence is a direct result of a group of people being segregated and impoverished.

Like I said, violence is a direct result of a group of people being segregated and impoverished. Let that happen for a long period of time and things will not turn out well History isn't all in the past Bullsh*t Pre-1960's, the single parent home for black families was under 10%. Today its at over 70% (all races are up to be transparent). What took place around that time? Welfare expansion... which took place during the JFK administration. Quote from Paul E. Peterson (Harvard professor).. “welfare assistance went to mothers so long as no male was boarding in the household… Marriage to an employed male, even one earning the minimum wage, placed at risk a mother’s economic well-being.” Infamous “man in the house” rules meant that welfare workers would randomly appear in homes to check and see if the mother was accurately reporting her family-status. He added, “estimated that in 1975 a household head would have to earn $20,000 a year to have more resources than what could be obtained from Great Society programs.” In today’s dollars, that’s over $90,000 per year in earnings. “The government paid mothers to keep fathers out of the home—and paid them well.” https://www.educationnext.org/government-subsidize-not-tax-marriage/

People blaming other people for their lot in life has been going on since the Dawn of time. It’s not unique to blacks or to the United States. Learn to tune it out. Be the best person you can be, every single day. Go to church (or get solid moral instruction on a regular basis.) Do not do drugs. Study in school. Work really hard. Do not go into debt, and if you do, sacrifice almost everything for awhile to get out of it. Stay married if you choose to get married. Do not have children if you’re not prepared to raise them.

Because black men had been denied the ability to build up human capital, family wealth and connections in the larger economy and society. Of course they would have suffered more from that trend which also hit white families. Would a black family, that could have achieved middle class status before 1960, if they were allowed real jobs, of even thought about welfare? Probably not. But having poverty forced on them by racist policies hurt them long term For instance, had a black guy who was interested in the law been able to pursue that dream, the welfare question would of been moot. Does that makes sense? Put another way. Of course the welfare polices would hurt blacks more because poverty was enforced on them almost as a whole.

Of course that going to have effects going forward in many different ways I give you the basic ‘how to’ list and you come back with this? People come to this country every single day from all over the world, and from every race, religion and creed, and in a state of abject ‘shirt on their back’ poverty. Some will succeed and others will not. Following ‘my’ llist has NOTHING to do with their past. It’s all about what they choose to do today, tomorrow, and every day going forward.
