Gee, I wonder what systems have been put in place that have caused these issues to happen to black people...

You can't call for a nuclear family when the concept of it was hardly ever meant to include blacks to begin with.

good question

could have something to do with incentivising single parenthood by providing welfare for single black mothers that makes it logically better to divorce and collect that than make a marriage work

I hear that... but I am always cautious of the obvious disdain religion and its pungent stench shaping social hemispheres and ideals, wilfully being forced upon minorities as a part of indoctrination, breeding LGBTQ+phobias

I'd think we should at least use its inclusion as a means to acknowledge minorities within minorities being at greater risk from violence from all sides of the spectrum, slowly but surely ushering in integration. I feel as if too many people see it as a this or that concept, when they just truly aren't comfortable with their existence and often mask their disdain through otherwise, fair points. That's a different conversation entirely tho

you do realise there's a direct correlation between single black mothers and boys doing horribly in school and turning to crime right?

who cares that the nuclear family is an 'old and conservative' idea. its a fantastic idea, and every kid thats born today should hope they have a mum and dad that love them

f***ing ridiculous that i even need to type this stuff

i grew up with my single mum, and my grandma

alternative structures are rubbish

communes in the 60s and 70s resulted in child abuse, there is no alternative proven to be better

Police have the mandate of the state. They are "law enforcement". What law are they enforcing when murdering innocent people? Yet the state tolerates this. Therefore, there has to be some unwritten law, some logic under which the police state functions. That law or logic is white supremacy, the suppression of the masses and spreading fear to placate people into staying in their place. These killings are institutionalized state terrorism, not random acts of violence.

A gangster operates outside the law. He has no qualified immunity, no democratic legitimization, no badge or uniform. He lives and dies by the sword and has never claimed to adhere to any law other than an arbitrary street code. He is not tasked by the state to carry out its force.

Black on black crime is a counterpoint used by white people to justify their lack of compassion for the plight of black and brown people. Statistically speaking, white People kill almost as many white people as black people kill black people. It’s less to do about race and more to do about proximity. With that being said, it’s an issue we as a community must address. Personally, I believe we need to adopt a zero tolerance policy and harsh consequences for those who violate within our community but that’s just me.

POC solidarity doesn’t do s*** for the black community. It’s more of a one sided street because hispanics and asians will always be super anti black

I see where you're coming from and agree. However, this isn't the time, just like we don't acknowledge black violence in gangs, I'm going to ignore all phobias (not because idc) but because the work needs to be done on the police's side
Restoring our community(no more violence, phobias etc) can be done simultaneously. My issue is that it isn't.
I need to see them the same pressure on police reform than they are on community reform.
This seems like utopian dreams being played off as activism, focusing on it is taking energy away from issues that can be resolved with simple legislation
Changing print is easier than changing minds, is what im saying.

But you suggested 9 out of 10 which would imply that the majority of cops are racist which is bullshit fam

I wrote a whole thesis paper on the topic using multiple easy to find and READ resources that point out the failures of the nuclear family and how systemic racism kept black people from attaining it since the abolishment of slavery in the US.

Google is free and easy to use. You can figure it out yourself. It'll honestly only take you ten minutes.

You genuinely believe that providing welfare to single parents incentivises then to divorce?

You’d rather eliminate social security in society to force people into staying in unhappy/abusive marriages, as the only alternative could then become poverty?
