I wonder if 5 yr old black girls having 28 yr old Grandmothers could have something to do with it?

24/7 with those who refuse to live on the lefts’s ideological plantation (though it’s white or blacks etc really when it comes to that) being derided quite often.

Can’t have a bunch of middle class people studying poor people without some of that there inequality.

Who on earth would even come up with a surge question like this? They are KIDS!

Ghetto kids are not like middle-class kids.

Seeing people gunned down in the street. Seeing their mom "entertain" a succession of thugs in her bedroom. Having multiple siblings, each with a different biological father.

Many being molested by mama's latest boyfriend, with mama being ok with it, because giving access is perhaps the only way to keep a desirable man interested in coming over as mama gets older and fatter.

FWIW, I helped an African pastor friend plant a church in Calgary a few years ago. They were from Liberia and most of the early attendees were from Liberia but a few were from elsewhere in Africa. There were many teens among these families. What got me was that, to a person, EVERY female teenager or twenty-one thing, wore very tight, short dresses and very tight, revealing tops. They dressed less conservatively than some of the hookers that frequent the rougher areas of the city, where I drive a school bus. I eventually asked the pastor to talk to the kids’ parents, to get them to dress more modestly. Eventually, it worked. Christians are admonished by Paul, to dress modestly.

A friend of mine is a Principal at a small Christian school and has been for over a decade. Most of the kids are from Africa and the girls ALWAYS dress much less than modestly. I can only guess that they are immitating what they see on MTV, BET and the like. How very sad.

ALL girls as young as 5 years old are innocent and need protection. 5 year old girls are the very definition of “innocent”.

What crap.

Now does inner city black culture destroy a young ladies innocence? It seems to be so, with promiscuity, illigitimate births, gang affiliation, fights. I never heard of girls fighting girls until I saw all the videos of black high school girls fighting each other — real knock down, drag out fights.

So yes, inner city black culture seems to rob young black girls of their innocence. What a crime this is. What a sin. I wish I had a magic wand to fix it. No such luck.

In my practice the black girls I have met have been super protected and know nothing about things they shouldn’t.

Is your practice mostly middle-class, or inner city?

In a 2009 NIH study of "urban girls" (89% of participants black), under "age of first intercourse", 25% of girls had sex by 13, 50% by 14, 75% by 15.

I don’t completely agree that impoverished black children stack the decks against themselves.

I can’t imagine the long odds they face. Almost all have no father in the home and experience multiple men coming and going through their lives as their mothers churn through a parade of temporary new men who then disappear.

Worst of all, we are now on 4 or 5 successive generations of impoverished black mothers who were raised wrong and have no clue how to raise their children, how to instill discipline in them.

Don’t even get me started how the studious children are punished by their peer group for “acting white”. School discipline doesn’t even exist.

Blacks at one time might have been responsible for stacking the deck against themselves, but here at least 4 generations on from that, impoverished blacks really have incredibly long odds against them. I can see why many are just hopeless and have no incentive to try. So sad.

The saddest part is that black immigrants come into America and often succeed wildly with the opportunity that comes from hard work and taking the educated risk. They just have the mindframe of the go-getter who is driven to succeed.

Most black kids in America just have no hope whatsoever and therefore put out no effort since they have no vision of what their lives can be.

It will take an act of God to break this vicious cycle. The itertia is overwhelming.

As a group black children are exposed to a lot that kids really shouldn’t have to deal with and as a group are sexualized at a very early age. That boils down to parenting or the lack of it, and parenting has become a problem since the grossly misnamed “War On Poverty” began and wrecked the black family.

So, it’s not racial bias to think that black girls are less innocent, if they actually are less innocent.

Well, why not? The statistics speak for themselves.

Out of wedlock births as a % of all births by race:
White 29%
Latino 53%
Black 72%
Source: Heritage Foundation

How about another? Fertility rate in Number of Children per Woman:
Latino 2.35
Black 1.97
White 1.79
Asian 1.69
American Indian 1.40
Source: CDC Vital Statistics Report 2012

Conclusion: Blacks are more promiscuous and Latinos are?

But not all black girls are “ghetto”.

Not all white girls are pathetic victims.

#28 "It will take an act of God to break this vicious cycle."

Thanks for the very thoughtful post. All you say is true. It is not that success is forbidden them. They have been blindfolded with no one to show them the way, and even then, no one they can trust. The gate is before them, but they can not find it.

Their predicament is often compared to a basket of crabs. Your mention of "acting white" fits that analogy perfectly. The race pimps, drug dealers, hustlers, "rappers", and white liberals are their greatest enemies.

The Democrat party is happy as a clam to have their most reliable constituency living on the plantation, a constituency whose greatest hope is the arrival of the first of the month and Uncle Sam's checks.

It breaks my heart that we have so much opportunity here in America, and yet there are so many who can not find it. It is criminal that those in power in these cities allow it. It is beyond criminal, it is damnable.

We're not talking about reality. We are talking about a study by a leftist group.

Has The Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality conducted the same research in Africa, and what was their conclusion?

My experience makes me agree with the study. Sad, but true.

Amen.

Trump said he would help the inner city blacks. I hope he follows through with that promise when he said, “What do you have to lose?” on the campaign.

I just have no clue what anyone can do to help break this terrible cycle. I wish President Trump the best in taking a first step to solve this problem.

Without doubt however, as long as impoverished inner city black are dependent on the free cash and food and toys and housing keeping them enslaved on the Democrat Plantation, they will have no chance to break the cycle. It is going to take some measure of love and some measure of tough love combined.

The Democrats are 100% responsible for the collapse of black society in America. 100%.

The sad thing is that a lot of these girls have been victimized by older men.
