How The US Government Destroyed Black Families (Documentary)

How The US Government Destroyed Black Families (Documentary)

It’s no secret. Fatherless households are more common in the Black community. A survey from the American consensus institution revealed that 67% of Black children under 18 in the U.S. live in homes without fathers. This is a stark contrast to White children, as only 24% of them live in fatherless homes.

But it wasn’t always like that. The black family survived generations of open racism, widespread poverty, and slavery. They lived through segregation and violence. And strong family bonds used to be the norm.

Between 1890 and 1950, the marriage rate was much higher among black women than white women. A fraction of black children lived in homes without their fathers.

But everything changed with the expansion of the welfare state. This is how the US government destroyed black families.

Let's not forget crack, mass incarceration, the Vietnam War, the school to prison pipeline, the outsourcing of jobs, the breakdown of unions and union jobs.

My grandfathers wasn't having it and my father wasn't having it they made decision to work hard and stay in the home to raise their children.

As a small child in the 70’s. I remember the beginnings of the deadbeat dad campaign. It was like a new catch phrase. Almost like you were being programmed and even a kid could tell it. I was wondering where all of them were and what they looked like. They wanted those women away from their men.

My grandfather once told me a story about himself driving a rich white man around the city. He told me that the man had been looking around at all of the black men on the sides of the road and asked him why all of them were smiling. He told my grandfather, “They don’t have anything, but they’re still smiling.” More than likely the men had wives or women to go home to. A good black woman to go home to is enough to make any man smile all day. You might as well have the whole world.

I’m 51. I grew up with both parents, married, in love, in the house…. It took me years to starkly realize that I knew 0 other peers who had both parents in the home. 0!!! Growing with both parents is a SUPER POWER 💎💎💎

We need our families and we need to be RE-EDUCATED.

My dad and mom did not know how to read or write, but my mother was an excellent cook and semestress. She was extremely wise in all different types of materials. My dad taught my brothers the responsibility of taking care of their families. He was drafted in WW2, and did not want any of his sons to be drafted in a war. None of my brothers went to Vietnam. All of my brothers had sons that love ❤️ and respects their fathers teaching. All of my brothers, before they passed away teach their sons that teach their children. No matter what-Evil Rulers and Evildoers shall not inherit the Earth 😈!

This angers me and makes me feel sad. They destroy our men and families and then blame us for not being further ahead in life.

Knowledge is Power keep Exposing the Lies Abuse and Corruption

[thetarotcard]

Grew up fatherless and it was not a great outcome but now as an adult I'm changing my outcome to make sure my next gen will never go through what I've went through

[danielboston]

If yall really want the black family back first thing to do is stop listening to RAP and R&B and the mainstream hip hop and R&B stations. Stop going out to clubs and stop watching those dumb ass shows exploiting drug dealing, lust and casual sex, chasing the dollar and if he don’t have baller money he’s not worthy or if she don’t have a body like a stripper she’s not worthy. Y’all need to cleanse y’all mind.

Evil culture here that we’re dealing with. Always has been.

[switchurnotions]

Families can not be broken if individuals do not go along. There has to be participation.

I’m black and grew up with two black parents. Growing up I was the only one of my friends who’s parents weren’t split and it was easily to tell who had a father around

[eggonegg]

I relate 100% I was unemployed with a baby on the way and felt alone although I was in a relationship. My company downsized and struggled for a total of 2 years.being on temp jobs and being abused by bosses that didn't class you as worthy.till I moved to a small town and I seemed to ease the problems and finally found employment. But after 3 years now being employed the urge to build my own company has now arisen. Stay strong..you can do it.i thought it was impossible

[samjohn]

I can’t speak for every woman, but i have always wanted a family and career. Got married, had a son. I was blessed and fortunate enough to grow up with my elders who died with their spouse, or immediately after. I pray for black love, success and happiness….it’s truly beautiful and powerful, thing.

[tangievarnado]

My Dad knew how hard it was, but he and my mom did not divorce. My dad did not want another man over his children.

[pgppe]

No one has forced or is forcing black people to not marry their children’s mother, or to stay involved in the lives of the children they help create.
Hell, we have normalized having broken black families by using words “baby daddy” “baby mother”. Some how we just don’t value the creation of strong black families and it is our fault.

[paolabiselli]

The street was my father and I was very angered about it . Every child needs a father in there life . B1

[sheiladaniels]

This documentary was right. The system has brutally devastated the Black Community 😠 with drugs babies raising babies. We need to take our communities back. We have a government that helps some people but destroys others 🙄😣.
