The decline in black America's family and social structure has nothing to do with white oppression, as it occurred mainly AFTER the Civil Rights Act.Not that I don't agree, but just b/c the deterioration started after CRA doesn't mean it's not the result of white oppression. In that case, why didn't the decline start WAY before, when oppression was at its height?Personally, I think the decline in family is due to the Great Society entitlement programs. Yes. Feeding poor children is the root of all evil.Googler, you do know that a great many welfare parents are white, don't you?Yes, stealing money from people to give to another is still evil, even if it's being done with the blessing of the government.It's absolutely true, that the black communities have been destroyed by these programs. Why bother waiting until you're married to have kids when you know the government will send you a check?
