My experience with blacks is worldwide from West Africa to Haiti to The South to NYC
common denominators through it all worldwide:
lack of two parent household..basically serial illegitimacy as the norm
attraction to the most flashy or best talker ..like the Hoogan or Witch Doctor or here in the US...Sharpton or Calypso Louie
prone to violence to settle disputes faster...more emotional
poor inherent governing capabilities
It is nothing more than cultural lag broadly defined by race. Every culture or race associated with it cannot be brought into equal performance in the matter of a few hundred years. Blacks sprang forth or were yanked from mostly a stone aged existence in tropical Africa just a few hundred years ago...in near total isolation from Caucazoids and Asiatic peoples...they are not the only group on the planet to lag, it's just they are maybe the most obvious since they are here in the US in large numbers and are proliferating in Africa now due to medical advance...in spite of a propensity for war and poor agricultural endeavors to feed large numbers of folks.
It's just how it is. Problems in the black community everywhere are not the fault of someone else. The fault is theirs.
It's actually bigoted to act like their shortfalls are always due to something whites did. By that measure then anything blacks accomplish is due to whites making the opportunity for them or nudging them.
Only two things whites have done to help global black race is bring many of them out of the short life span and constant warring of tropical Africa and converted them to Christianity.
after that if they rise or fall it's on them...blame or credit depending which way it goes
most white Americans know little about blacks...maybe a few here and there or TV and sports folks...I drove out west last summer and from Amarillo to Montana in a big circle from Panhandle of Nebraska to Salt Lake to Vegas and Santa Fe We saw maybe 20 black folks over two weeks once we left Kansas City till we returned thru Amarillo...except Vegas.
. In my hometown of Jackson Mississippi I see that many in 90 seconds. Folks who have lived where and how I have with black culture are under no illusions.
on black fathers...even before entitlements and civil rights legislation etc, black fatherless rated was 20-25% and white rate was about 1 in 75.
now...black rate is 70-90% depending who you talk to and white rate is 18%...and it's not your fault or mine...it's theirs...squarely
I won't make excuses for any of it. But I do think ignoring small children is very very harmful to their development...it stunts them...dulls them
Imagine growing up in a house with no positive male role models at all, and no books or anybody else in the house reading. Then get plunked down in front of a TV set to BET for most waking hours. No shock what kind of adult will emerge.
