I am sickened at the state of the black culture (loose use of term). We have some very very close personal friends who are black and are great people. I have had conversations with at least 3 members of that family about “black family structure”, how it has evolved, the poor judgement calls that insure it stays like it is. My friends cannot tell me why, but are equally frustrated with the impact.
Very very sad situation.
The family I discussed this with are unique here, the father was in private business and respected by all members of the community. That is largely absent in most black families. A terrible loss to black and to whites for it to be this way. But it is.
Good comments. This is the Black I am proud of. Against the tide, they see things as they are. Kudos to them.
