What cycles are some African-Americans stuck in?

[LinkxPeach]

Some African-Americans are stuck in cycles of killing each other, and having kids out of wedlock.

-Lack of heritable wealth

-Underfunded public schools

-Dilapidated, red-lined neighborhoods

-Lead poisoning in children

-Food deserts

-Predatory lending practices

-And the broader American society engaging in victim blaming by saying that the problems in the Black community are down to culture and having children out of wedlock.

I am NOT African/American... so I have no valid opinion

[Blackcupcake]

[Sarahplus2]

Everyone has kids out of wedlock

Why is it so important to get married

[LinkxPeach]

So, that people can start a family together.

[SmokinAces2000]

Marriage isn’t essential to start a family and that’s honestly a stupid idea

[LinkxPeach]

So, you against someone waiting until marriage to start a family?

[SmokinAces2000]

I’m against marriage being used as the only thing that can produce a good happy family, parents were never married together for 15 years me and my brother and sister turned out fine

[LinkxPeach]

What do you think marriage should be used for, then?

[SmokinAces2000]

It’s not a matter of should it’s a matter of could

[LinkxPeach]

Okay, like what?
