Aite man where did we go wrong?

Feminism is the main reason. Once society demonized and took away the traditional role for women in favor of 9 to 5 shit, things fell off. Women are the backbone of communities, so that went away. And kids started raising themselves since both parents where working and not really involved with their school or daily activities like before.

Crack played a role, and drug money that led many into paths that led to getting locked up too. But none of that would have matter if families were strong.

Bingo.

I was just about to say nobody wanted to say this part out loud. That dayum Feminism is what all started this nonsense.

Black folks were together during slavery, jim crow, segregation, that Feminism movement is the one I would put blame on

No you gotta stop acting like it's not. There is no benefit to forcing most women into the workplace. Only people who benefit form that is corporate America. Meanwhile women who brought life to our communities are taken away, and people wonder "what happened".

The feminism message went from equal opportunities which I think all want, to forced roles which goes against nature. Women don't really have a choice now
 
You can't single out women going to work as the DEATH of the black community.

The economy of this country was never sustainable.. Housing and college was cheap as fuck back in the day. You could have a livable wage for an entire family doing a job that's barely minimum wage back in the day.

The economy has been fucked up for a while. Capitalism has poisoned the country for a while.

Women having to work isn't the cause , it's a consequence of a broken system that doubles down on it's mistakes.

Profit is more important than progress. That's why we've been fucked.
 
It started when people stop asking how you got your dollar and started asking if you got it.

You gotta look at black people as the kidneys of America. Most often then not, before you experience the symptoms of an illness. Your kidneys are first affected and then the body starts to experience symptoms.

What happened to the black community was what was going to happen to America. We just experienced it first.

I mean look around America, everything that decimated us…is now affecting others.

Drug epidemic
Health epidemic
Homelessness epidemic
Education epidemic
Financial epidemic
Senseless gun violence

The only difference between us and the rest of America is that we’ve never experienced an overall high side to level things out. It’s not a black issue, it’s an America issue. It just affected us first

Soon mass incarceration is coming for them if it keeps going the way it is .
 
Say over the next few months,

Gas nationally drops down to like .25 a gallon
Houses cost like $500 on average to buy
College is like $100 a year
Cars only cost like 80-90 bucks

Everybody keeps their same wages.... But the cost of eveeything else goes down dramatically. You can spend $25 bucks in the market and feed your family for a month

It would be a utopia....

until our grandkids gotta pay for it

That's capitalism and cost of living going up. Not feminism. Especially in Black families where women for the most part did work outside the home

Black people moving from rural to urban ruined the community feel. Cities can be nice and neighborly but usually when you think about the big city it’s about getting money looking out for self. At least that’s how it seems. Minding your own business.

And a small town or small city people will be in your business you do something foul everybody knows and they know your folks.
 
I also think people have a romanticized idea of just how united all communities were in the past. There was alot of fragmentation and disagreement back then too on serious issues. Like for example the majority of Black folks did not support alot of the boycott and shit that was going on back in the day. It was all love like people wanna believe

How is my wife having income hurting my family? This would make more sense if in the 70s most black men made enough money to hold down a whole household. Welfare not allowing a man in the home was definitely a problem because they assumed he worked but it wasn’t that easy for black men.


Now if we talking about broken homes a lot of folks blame drugs but broken homes existed in the 40 and 50s as well not to the same level.

I feel like a lot of yall think feminism is just women asking for equal pay and saying men are disposable

Unless you were getting crazy overtime, no you couldn't. Full stop.

In the 60's and 70's, minimum wage was only a hair more than the poverty line for a family of three. Add just one more kid and now you're fully in poverty. College tuition also doubled in the 70's so there goes that "cheap as fuck" education. The media price of a home damned near tripled from 1970 to the end of 1979.

The shit ain't even close to what you think it was.
