Ky person – You are absolutely correct. And it will be like this until the community wakes up and realizes that they have no one to blame for these issues but themselves. I won’t hold my breath for that realization to arrive.

As I remember, back in the early 60s, the nuclear family was the norm in the Black community. Their schools may have been segregated, but they were staffed by dedicated teachers who pushed their students to succeed. The idea that the thug and the ho would be considered role models would have horrified them.

Post Civil Rights Movement, I think the Black community was poised on the brink of success – big success.

Then came LBJ, the Great Society, the War on Poverty and welfare. It tore the family apart. Men weren’t husbands, they were Baby Daddies, women were Baby Mamas and children were sources of money. Cultural relativism won’t allow us to condemn such behavior in public since that would be insensitive.

The Great Society was a social experiment that failed miserably and its repercussions are going to be with us for a LONG time.

Most of the problems in black society can be traced to the collapse of the family unit. If Ms. Hill wants to blame something for black women’s aversion to marriage, maybe she can point to the creation of the welfare state that not only condoned, but encouraged out-of-wedlock births and made it ok for men to father children then feel no obligation to them. She acknowledges the issue, then dances around the cause, claiming no responsibility for the trend for her own race.

She can blame whitey as far as I’m concerned; as long as she blames the limosine liberal whiteys who–for fear of being labeled “judgmental”–marched lockstep with the race-baiting Jacksons and Sharptons and made the dissolution of the black family unit socially acceptable, and therefore the rule instead of the exception.

Deanna – Lord knows I was looking for that special someone with lots of ‘tude.

RT – Of course, it also doesn’t help when good women try to get with thugs in order to “change them.” News flash, ladies: you can’t change us, so don’t try. The missus knew I was a sarcastic bastard when she married me.

My best friend is an intelligent, witty, and educated African-American. She got married last year at the age of 38. I never heard her state the complaints that many African-American females in her position voice. She dated some duds (as with any race) and she finally met “the one”.

I don’t think it is a race issue. However, I think that otherwise lovely individuals place themselves among men who are not doing things to better themselves and/or exhibiting a personality that exhibits respect for females, you are going to have a lot of dissatisfied and cynical women.

Meaning: If you don’t leave the detracting elements in your past, you will not move on to better things.

You know that huge “chip on the shoulder” is a huge turn on when looking for a wife/girlfriend.

For some it is a constant fashion accessory that they never leave home without…. no matter their skin color.
