These are likely the racist comments that have been claimed.
Although I would be willing to give some leeway for a hypothesis of reasoning.
You're staying as a fact that in the 60s it was welfare that created the change of nuclear black families
&
In the 80s it was gangsta rap and gang culture as the causation for change.
Id say there were MANY reasons and that these are not nearly even in the top of the lists.
In the 60sIn the 80s,
- There was civil rights legislation that was voted on in the prior 3 yrs.
- Segregation ended.
- Black voices and even celebs became more mainstream.
- Home ownership was available to blacks moreso.
- Black enrollment in schools and things like affirmative action.
- Degrees mean more money, more security and more independence.
.
- More black females enrolled and getting degrees, and more money and more independence.
- Black males are less likely to graduate vs. females.
- The incarceration rate for black males skyrocket.
- Black on black crime is predominantly a black male issue.
- The change of black dominance in sports was forged in bball and football along with trappings of those sport genre and stereotypes.
- Black culture changes by nefarious ideology and gang / jail glorification
I'm not sure rap created that, or it came afterwards but gangs filled in the void of brotherhood and protection as it has in every society in the world.
I just don't think there are one or two things, but rather many points empowerment towards single female head of household or and the downfall of roll models for males. Then there is the typical stereotyping of a group.
But back to the post. Glamour of bad boys, independence of black women, and the fact that black women feel they don't need black men since they are often both the bread winner and homeowner. White women are still underpayed for same work and suffer low self esteem if a little fluffy. Black women embrace that shit, and flaunt it no matter if white or black males like it. Generally it seems like women of color have higher levels of self-esteem and income per their same race male counterparts.
