The cause of massive black unlawfulness at every level, IMO, is the breakdown of the black family. What is the percentage of black births to single women - something over 70%. This sub-division of society is nothing more than a breeding bed for crime and anarchy, and destruction of every system they touch - education and government at the top of he list. And there is nothing white society can do about it, no amount of money will cure the illness. Only the black community can solve the problem, and the ones who would work to alleviate it are Republican blacks and they are being marginalized and effectively shut up by other blacks. This could grow big and take the form of the French Revolution with mob rule and guillotine justice.
Exactly. The Heritage Foundation has looked at dependency, crime, etc....and the thuggish behavior has to do with a destroyed FAMILY structure--and NOT race.
To put it another way: white people and black people become thugs, criminals, wards of the state and prone to bad behavior when their families are not intact. Mom and dad need to be home and mom and dad need to be raising their children.
The welfare state has tried to replace the family, and it cannot.
I recall reading, I believe it was a book from Dr. Thomas Sowell, that in the 1950s and 60s, before the explosion that was LBJ's stupid "Great Society", that BLACK families were more stable and there was lower criminal behavior in them than in WHITE families; Sowell was looking at particular places and populations.
The black families were whole--while the white families were not.
God's plan is for a mom and a dad to raise children. Of course it can't always be that way--but that is the ideal.
Far, far from the ideal is the government as a daddy.
The breakdown in the family leads to similar effects regardless of race.
This is one of those things that belies charges of direct racism being the culprit. It is not the poverty in finances that in general causes so many lives to go awry, but the poverty in families. While Trayvon Martin is responsible for his actions, he hardly had a chance...not because of his skin color, but because of his deprivation of family. ...at the end he didn’t have any parents at all in any meaningful sense.
“1) Here’s Williams’ roadmap out of poverty: Complete high school; get a job, any kind of a job; get married before having children; and be a law-abiding citizen. Among both black and white Americans so described, the poverty rate is in the single digits.”
Incarceration rate is pretty low too.
