After reading every one of nearly 600 posts, that is probably the most important one in this entire thread.
We don't primarily have a racial problem in our inner cities. We have a morals problem. The same immoral behaviors that are wrecking the black family are leading to major problems in Hispanic families as well and damaging poor white families.
People who have plenty of money may be able to afford to live immoral lives. People who are financially “on the edge” can't afford the consequences of broken homes. The lifestyle of a white upper-middle-class double-income professional couple won't be hurt as badly by the bad behaviors that lead to broken homes, but that's just because they have more of a financial margin for error.
Give it a generation or two more and watch what happens to white families if trends continue the way they're going now. Broken homes still tend to lead to broken kids, even if the mom and dad have enough money to buy lots of toys for the kids.
No question at all. Look at the worst white slums/”housing estates” in the UK to see this in progress. The best single indicator of social disfunction is the % of unmarried mothers. Daniel Moynihan had it right 40 years ago. Few listened to his warnings.
You bring society’s moral corruption down to the level of the individual where it properly belongs. Society is not immoral. People are immoral.
When immorality becomes wide spread people protect their own vice ridden lives by ganging up on those who want to clean up the mess. We see this best with abortion and homosexuality.
Pornography, theft and promiscuity are precious hidden sins for countless people. The demand for personal choice as justification for killing babies and sexual deviance covers up an agenda of individual licentiousness.
These are the motivators for insisting that no laws should infringe upon abortion, government confiscation of wealth or sexual deviance. These are the motivators for gangs and thugs who will kill and destroy.
Are there far too many who will destroy to gain some personal satisfaction? Of course. There are many more who will protect themselves, their families and their communities from thuggery.
If we are to prevail we must do so ourselves. We can not rely on government to solve any of our problems. That is not the role of government.
