What Happened To The Two-Parent Black Family Structure?

What Happened To The Two-Parent
Black Family Structure?

It's a well-known fact that when both Black parents are in the home and the two of them are morally sufficient, and very committed to raising a very successful family together, there's very little conflict between the two of them in the home. As a result, their children tend to do much better as well. There are fewer emotional issues, fewer behavior issues, better health conditions, and much better economic conditions.

During the 1950's and 60's the two-parent Black family structure played a major role in the overall success and well-being of the Black community as a whole. Black men back then were very hard-working, totally committed and better suited to marry the woman they loved, while Black women had far greater domestic skills and abilities than they do today, and were much better regarding the choices of men they wanted to marry and raise a happy, healthy family with.

Back then, 86% of all Black homes had
both parents living in the home, and Black children had a much better chance of being nurtured and disciplined (balanced-out) by both parents than they do today. By that I mean, it's a well-known fact that fathers tend to be very soft on their daughters and extremely hard on their sons. 

Likewise, mother tend to be very soft on their sons and extremely hard on their daughters. It's a natural balance! If both parent are in the home, everything should workout just fine, simply because, there's always that one parent to discipline and the other to nurture, which again, in almost every case, helps to BALANCE-OUT Black children.

With the lost of one parent, Black children stand a much greater chance of growing up very imbalanced, making them for the most part, unfit for relationships, marriage and quality Black parents altogether. 

For example: Without a quality Black father in the home today (which seems to be the norm today), young Black females are not protected and validated, and don't usually have a good example in the home (if any at all) to follow in terms of how they will learn to judge and co-exist with a man. 

"Will Someone Please
Notice Me!"

The above is exactly why multitudes of our young, Black sisters out here today (including the ones 21 and older) are looking for love and attention in all of the wrong places, with all of the wrong males, for all of the wrong reasons.

They can be found all over the internet posting half-naked bathroom selfies of themselves, leaving nothing to the imagination, perhaps for no other reason than to solicit attention and validation from males....Then have the audacity to cry, fuss and complain about being objectified, fetishized, disrespected and perused by very doggish, sex-crazed, misyganistic males....including the non-black ones.

Likewise, fatherless Black males today who are/were pampered and spoiled by their mothers usually turn-out to be very lazy, slothful, good for nothing males, unable to support and sustain a family of their own. 

Proud Mommas Boy!

They are usually classified as being "Momma's Boys", or grown ass, immature males who have NO qualms about sitting at home all day playing video games while their Baby Mommas are out working two, to three jobs to support them. That's what his Momma did for him long after his 18th birthday....So he has absolutely NO problem with a woman making all of the family's critical discussions, nor does he have a problem with being completely taken care of by a woman.

To be fair, I must conclude that all of the above dosen't apply to every male or female who comes from a fatherless, or single parent home, however, we can not deny the fact that a vast majority of our brothers and sisters raised without both parents in the home are mentally, emotionally and psychologically affected in the ways mentioned above.

So What Happened To The Two-Parent Black Family Structure?

Unknown to many....At the height of the Civil Rights Movement in 1965, when a quarter of all Black families with children were headed by females, Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote in a report to President Johnson that this growing matriarchy was an important cause for poverty within the Black community.

Daniel Moynihan, then a White House aide, created a public report, that was accused by many of blaming the victims for their own distress.

Today, some 55 years later, more than half of all Black families here in the U.S. are headed by young, inexperienced, single Black females, while at the same time, more than half of all Black babies are born here in the U.S. are born out of wedlock.

With that being said, many Black men and women of the Conscious Community, myself included, strongly believe that one of the biggest components to play a major role, if not the biggest role in the total devastation of to the two-parent Black family structure is the WELFARE STATE! 

Because of the WELFARE STATE, 62% of our Black homes today are being headed by young, inexperienced single Black parents....

Because of the WELFARE STATE, the divorce rate among

Black males and females (with young children) are soaring in record numbers, as a very large percentage of married Black couples with children are said to be struggling through their first 3-5 years of marriage, including Black couples in the church.

As a result of the WELFARE STATE, Black children are faced with a greatest risk of growing up without both parents in the home than any other race, or group of children there is today.

Because of the WELFARE STATE, there continues to be a growing number of Black males and females in our society today who are mentally conditioned and socially engineered to believe that marriage and the "two-parent" Black family structure is "OVERRATED" and completely "OUT-DATED"....

In conjunction with marriage being considered overrated and completely out-dated by multitudes of Black males and females today, the modern-day Welfare State continues to instigate, support and promote single parenthood, especially among young, inexperienced, single Black mothers.

The Welfare State as Black people have come to know it today has for the most part "reduced the financial need for marriage within the Black community." By that I mean since the beginning of the Welfare State young, inexperienced, single Black mothers (including the ones 21 and over) have increasingly become married to, or "totally dependent upon the welfare system" and to the U.S. taxpayer dollar rather than to the biological fathers of their dependent children. 

As a result, for many young, inexperienced, single Black females today, the financial benefits associated with marriage and having a husband to help provide for their dependent children are NO longer required. 

For example:

The following controversial video sparked public out-rage as young, inexperienced, single Black mothers created the (music) video, bragging and boasting about how they're able to cheat and manipulate the Welfare System, and what they're actually doing with tax-payers money.

WARNING: The video below contains content that is NOT suitable for children 17 years old and under. 

Viewer discretion advised: 

         

With that being said, if the divorce rate among married Black couples with children continues to soar in record numbers like they are today, and if young, inexperienced, single Black mothers continue to prefer the Welfare System over working-class Black husbands, namely the biological fathers of their dependent child(ren), it is estimated that by mid-century, or the year 2050, the "two-parent" Black family structure will no longer exist....

Sadly today, 73% of all Black children born here in the U.S. are born out of wedlock....

So whether this growing crisis within the Black community was strategically engineered by mainstream white society and the Welfare State to totally eliminate the "two-parent" Black Family Structure in order to keep our fatherless Black communities very poor and totally dependent upon them, or whether this growing crisis within the Black community today coincidentally derived, as a result of individual choice by immature, reckless single parents, the sad reality of it all is that; "Black children had a much better chance of growing up with both parents in the home "AS SLAVES" than they do today!"
