Then we should outlaw divorce and incarcerate adulterers who have children, right?

:bigbow:

Marriage, divorce, and adultery have nothing to do with the problem. The fact is that 75 percent of African American babies are born to women who are not married and they are raised by their mother in a single parent home.

Would you support banning divorce? It creates a lot of poverty and single parent homes.

Your links were previously read. Thanks for your patient consideration. Small studies tend to be easily used for partisan purposes.

All the white folks solving all the problems for the black community.....until that attitude changes this will continue for a very long time. There are enlightened people out there, they accept interracial marriages and kids, Corporations are providing more opportunities for non-whites but we have a very long way to go...most of us will be long gone and I only hope the generations behind us will generate acceptance opportunities.

I’m amazed that any senior would follow anything Cuomo says. I bet he has a plan to reduce social security and Medicare. Send more viral infected seniors to nursing homes. I know the fed told him to do it. Interesting that he was selective about what fed guidelines he was going to follow and which ones he wouldn’t. Given his position of power and the fact that he made a horrible decision that resulted in death I’m shocked he’s not in jail. Someone else in power made a horrible decision that resulted in death and he’s in jail. In essence Cuomo put his knee to the throats of thousands of seniors - many black. Wheres the justice? Where’s the outrage? Talk about privileged. Remember Mary Jo. Same thing.

Well, you obviously have chosen to ignore this then.


"Small studies." :1rotfl:

You definitely didn't read the two links I provided, who/how they were conducted or researched for the plethora of other studies...that come to the exact same conclusions.

P.S. One of the links was from 'The United States Sentencing Commission.' :oops:

How many schools still teach the Golden Rule? They probably can’t because of PC bologney. Not only was it taught but it used to be a daily reminder and was recited more often then the Pledge of Allegiance. Treat others the way you want to be treated...the man in the mirror treatment.

So what CHANGES do you propose?

Were the police from single parent homes?

If poor black unmarried mothers are causing THE PROBLEMS then then what changes are you proposing? Did your statistical analysis yield any proposals for positive change? Forced marriages upon birth? Or stoning them to death like some middle eastern countries do. Forced Abortion? Sounds like China’s One Child Policy which has had many deleterious consequences. How about forced castration of single fathers?

We could go the other way and treat all babies as a blessing entrusted to humankind to nurture regardless of the economic cost.

The demographics of America have changed a lot. The number of blacks may already be a super-minority yet there has been almost silence coming from Hispanic leaders. Changes may come more quickly if the two minorities are really a majority.

All of your suggested solutions would involve the Government. But, I don't believe that the Government can solve the problem. The problem needs to be solved by the people themselves.

I think the Jews have a great response by supporting the Holocaust Museum and other remembrances to honor their forefathers’ sacrifices while having a goal to also never allow the atrocities to be forgotten. Much of what is taught about black history was scrubbed to portray only one side of the story but removing visible reminders may allow the reality to become doubted, like folklore.

Assertion.

Not just justice for this crime but all that have gone before without justice.

They really want something that I am afraid is impossible to give them an end to systemic racism in this country.

The church has a plan. In fact it was written in stone years ago, THE TEN COMMANDS, a lot of people don’t want to follow them, they want to take them off public buildings and everywhere else.

National repentance and obedience to the 10 Commandments. But, I don't see that as actually happening. Sin (violence, murders, rapes, abortions, thefts, corruption, lying, etc) is now the American way. It will take God's direct intervention to stop this. Feel free to slam me. It won't change a thing. This country will be taken over and destroyed in less than a dozen years based on biblical warnings and the current state of the world. If you can't see the decay in all human institutions and the complete lack of fear of God, you simply are not paying attention at all. Time is truly running short.

BLACK LIVES MATTER ????

Yeah, they do......but :

ALL LIVES MATTER

IMHO, saying that black lives matter, gives them special status.
If all the BLM protesters had ALM signs, it would begin to unify society.
I can envision a ALM protest, with people of all races involved.
At least then, they all would have something in common to start with.

The problem goes deeper than just two parents. It is basic education. Say what you want, but by-in-large, the largest majority of the sensationalized incidences involved persons of low education and low moral values. Yes, there are educated persons who are stopped because of the color of their skin but , it is highly unlikely the situation gets escalated to the point someone is hurt or killed. There are programs out there designed to work with our public education systems to fix this situation. The one I happen to be familiar with is "An Achievable Dream". I have witnessed it first hand, and it works. Children are taken from first grade through twelfth grade and given extra help to see that they succeed and graduate from high school and stay out of trouble. If they succeed they are guaranteed a free college education. Not only do they receive extra help with their studies, before and after school day; they receive education on anger management, proper manors, proper english communication, money management ...... just to name a few. On the weekends they are introduced to museums and other cultural events. These are the skills and experiences that your parents and mine taught us at home. These are the skills they are not receiving. These are the skills that help them function in society and help them make good decisions throughout life and succeed to become productive / contributing citizens.

The program is available for ALL races. The less likely an identified child is to succeed in life the more likely he or she is to become a candidate for the program. It cost the child and his family nothing. The cost is raised in the community through local business sponsorship and charitable contributions and is funneled into the school system to supplement the the teachers salaries and activities. It is a good investment. It breaks the cycle of illiteracy and teaches moral decency so we can live in peace and harmony with our neighbors. IT WORKS ! Check it out.

:ho:

I was widowed at age 40. I was left to raise our four children on my own. They are all adults with children of their own. I think they turned out just fine without anymore problems than children raised in a two parent home.

If you want to really see why statistically - whites are at 25% single parent families and blacks are at 64% . ( American Indians second worst at 53%

If you really want to do something about race relations and the betterment of all - put anti fertility drugs in the water or preach abstinence and marriage for 21 years minimum .

REMARKABLY the rate of single parents has remained the SAME at 35% for at least TEN years.

And what they watch on tv...

Book stores not looted 😆😂👍

Did you ever think that MEN are the source of this problem instead men are blaming single Moms?

Which parent is the “single parent” who continues to struggle with parenting and which one is absent?

Very few females are directly involved in these law enforcement problems on either side.

Fake news. Looters did not practice any discretion. Mayhem & destruction were the goals for many rioters.

What a great list of ideas and suggestion and remarkable inputs to this overwhelming condition in the US and in a number of cases in the world. It's impressive to see some real concern and ideas to start to attack these terrible conditions. It would be interesting if all of the comments and inputs would be reviewed and categorized? Whether you agree or disagree with some of the ideas or comments you have to be proud to live in a community which is not afraid to express their views and a mechanism (TOTV) which is available to provide them to others for review and consideration! I know I am!! :ho:

REMARKABLY US fresh water supplies now have alarmingly-elevated levels of female hormones from massive birth control pills being excreted in urine. It is suspected to be causing low testosterone levels in males. Are you aware that birth control hormones are a Class One carcinogen? There have been tens of millions of abortion infanticides and more black babies are killed than any other segment of our population.

If you want to see real change look at the man in the mirror & ask him to change his ways.

I’m sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing. Your children were & are blessed to have you.

Thank you for your thoughtful message. I totally agree. There is not a simple solution to a complex problem. It requires more intricate careful plans and we are not seeing any steps toward that.

I totally agree. I get tired of hearing this as an excuse. I may be wrong, but I believe Ben Carson was raised by a single mother. Better a one-parent family filled with love and guidance than a two-parent family filled with bitterness and hatred. I feel for these single parents who get disparaged constantly.

I’m not sure you’re correct about academia not teaching critical thinking skills. Especially in math, and in all subjects, kids bring home things that we may have learned by rote, the basics, and are being asked to explain how they got to the answer of 10 + 25, rather than just adding it as we did. Some parents just don’t get it, either. There are others whose brains just can’t conceptualize. It’s their parents fault?? While many teachers tend to teach to the middle, since there’ll always be kids who learn at the top, (despite having some horrible teachers), the ones at the bottom are lost. Some of them are dumped into remedial programs and/or special ed classrooms where the teachers teach to the lowest— unable to grasp conceptual critical thinking— while those that may have the ability To are held back from improving them, Those are the ones that YOU refer to as LEMMINGS. That’s real narrow minded, which is often just as bad as lacking critical thinking skills

After much time to apply my critical thinking skills, I Respectfully disagree. Facts DO matter, I’m sure even to some radical liberals, but since the so-called facts are even skewed, or not the only things that should be considered, (a little too black and white): and people aren’t thinking the way you are, they’re LEMMINGS?! I’m hoping that I misunderstood something your post.

Poverty can be avoided, by all skin colors, if you follow only 3 steps when you are young. Follow ALL of them and you have a 98% chance of avoiding poverty.

What are the steps? Finish high school, work full time, and ‘marriage before carriage’ (wait til you are 21, and marry, before having kids).

2 percent of persons in families that followed all three norms are poor, whereas 76 percent of persons in families that followed none were poor

Three Simple Rules Poor Teens Should Follow to Join the Middle Class

As a liberal, white woman, professional (Attorney and Surgeon), married parent of 2 sons and foster parent of 6 black children, I am aghast at some of the hateful or ignorant opinions/solutions I read on this thread. My sons were teens when we began fostering (northern state) and we were blessed by their lives. The local police, however, were after these kids from the day we invited them into our homes. (They were not the only black kids in our community)- Questioning them on where they were going, where they were coming from, how did they get those shoes, why are they walking into this person's drive way, why are they standing out in from of the local theater (along with my bio sons), why are you walking with this (white) girl, frisking their pockets? My hubby and I spend a lot of time at the police station trying to stop this behavior. Everyone should foster a black child so see what it's like and what these kids are up against. Thankfully our neighbors treated the kids with respect. It was the greatest education of my life time and we're still close to each of the kids we fostered. An yes, we put them through college....yes, we gave them free stuff. I'm so disappointed in my fellow whites who think they know the failing of everyone but themselves.

So let’s shut down Planned Parenthood. That certainly helps the situation - not.

Dont give those people any ideas.
