Do you think that black women are destroying the black community?

[hellionthesagereborn]

Not completely responsible. The problems within the black community stems from fatherlessness and while we can and absolutely should hold those black men responsible for abandoning their families, the fact is black women CHOSE those men. In fact many black men from what I have heard complain that if your not a thug, many black women want nothing to do with you.

So black women chose the worse men they could which resulted in those men abandoning their families and itself resulted in the disfunction we see today. However those black women were doing this in the sixties when this all started, and thanks to the very screwed up welfare system, they would be rewarded with welfare money only if the man was not there thus encouraging these women to actively choose these men (in other cases it only acted as a safety net so that these women who would otherwise would have passed on the attractive man with questionable character felt like they could take a chance on him since they had that welfare safety net (plus the rise of the "sexual revolution" that suggested that casual sex had no negative repercussions (which was obviously incorrect)).

So yes, they were to blame in the sixties when this started as they were the ones with the final say (they were the ones risking pregnancy and barring rape were the ones who decided who got to reproduce and who did not, the man could encourage it but she had to go along with it). That said, almost all of those women are not alive currently and as such we cannot claim that the current women are to blame as they are as screwed up from the fatherlessness as men AND we cannot state that black men did not play a part in this as well, they absolutely did and a large part of it (and continue to do so just as the women do).

At best you can claim that their was a 60/40 break in responsibility originally (simply because women are the gate keepers of sex), but at this point both parties are equally responsible for the past generation of fatherless children and thus need to be held accountable for their actions.

No one person, person type, sex, condition or anything else is "completely responsible for all the poverty and brokenness in the black community." That's as honest as honest can be. That said - - -

Black fathers- or more correctly, the absence thereof, is a greater cause of the dissolution of black families. According to statistics about fatherless homes, 90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes; 71% of pregnant teenagers lack a father figure; 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes; 71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes; and 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions have no father. Furthermore, fatherless boys and girls are twice as likely to drop out of high school and twice as likely to end up in jail.
The majority of black students- by a wide margin- score "below basic" in reading, math and science. “Below basic” is the score a student receives when he is unable to demonstrate even partial mastery of knowledge and grade level skills. How much can racism explain this?

To do well in school, someone must remind a kid do his homework, get a good night’s rest, have breakfast, mind the teacher, etc. If these basic family functions are not performed, it makes little difference how much money is put into education, the result will be disappointing.

Thomas Sowell, a world-renowned black economist and professor with degrees from Harvard and Stanford, has argued that “The black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.”

The bottom line is that... today's discrimination cannot go very far in explaining the problems faced by a large segment of the black community. (emphasis mine)

No, I think systemic racism is responsible for that.
According to surveys, black people with a college degree are still paid less than their white counterparts. What do black women have to do with that?
The system is built this way in order to favor white people

Black woken aren’t destroying the black community stop being racist

[RolandCuthbert]

Er. . . no. There is a rift developing. "Black" men are beginning to blame their issues on "Black" feminism. They think they will be able to join up with "White" supremacist fruitcakes incels. Racism doesn't work that way. Racists do not share power with anyone. Even if they hate the same things.

[EWillke]

The government is destroying the black community with policies that replace the fathers with a welfare system and a societal propensity of incarceration.

[jasco]

Personally to a extent i do think they are, but black men are also at fault. Black women are no longer picking good boyfriend's or husbands and are also no longer teaching there children very well. That's for this generation, not the older ones. Black men are becoming man whores and are no longer being a good role model to others

[BCRanger10]

No. Pop culture, news media, and white liberals are.

[Anonymous]

No, I think black men are just as responsible for it. The problem is that the black community doesn't take responsibility for any of their problems and just plays the victim and blames everyone else.

[leahzrc]

I am white so my opinion on this isn't technically valid but from my perspective, black women are very uplifting and progressive for society in general

[Gwenhwyfar]

No. Why would I think that?

[MsClareM]

How's this come around? Or just here say?

[Ripper_E]

I'll believe it when I see proof.

[Dinklex3]

I haven't destroyed shit yet.

[User2300]

Nope , it might be the other way around.

[Anonymous]

No I don’t

[Anonymous]

i think that is the opposite of what people think
