I have tried in every way to stay out of this debate over race in this country, but the argument has become so skewed we have somehow lost focus on it. Even with all the hype from the media about race we have yet to address what the real problem is. But I will get to that later. But for now I have researched the data on this and this is what I have found: In 2009 there were 342 Blacks killed by Whites. Also that same year there were 4.094 blacks killed by other blacks. In one weekend in chicago March 16-19 41 people were shot, mostly black. And in the census from 2000 to 2009 1.361 out of every 100.000 were being incarcerated. Now the statistics do not lie and the majority of the crimes committed against blacks were committed by other blacks. And don't think I have forgotten about the White crime rates. They are equally as bad. So you have to ask yourself what has changed in America so dramatically to have gotten us to this point?
I have done the research and what I have seen on the New American Family is astonishing. Unfortunately, the growth in the number of children born into broken families in America--from 12 for every 100 born in 1950 to 58 for every 100 born in 1992 --has become a seemingly unbreakable cycle that the federal government not only continues to ignore, but even promotes through some of its policies. Today, the economic and social future of children in the poor and the middle class is being undermined by a culture that promotes teenage sex, divorce, cohabitation, and out-of-wedlock birth. This is a trend in all races.
So I think we should take a better look at the bigger picture. A damaged society is a result of damaged families. Parents have been taken out of the daily lives of their children by unjust laws and by Psychologist who with a little schooling have it all figured out. Humans know how to be parents all of us know the difference between right and wrong. We do not need to fill our children full of dope to calm them, we just need to allow the families to take some of their personal responsibilities back.
Children marry to young because they figure their parents have nothing left to teach them. And most parents fall away from their childs life when the child reaches a certain age. And at that point the child has to in-turn fend for themselves.
I do not see race being the problem as much as the breaking up of the American family Black or White. If we concentrate on fixing the American Family from Education and the Family Unit I believe we could solve this problem as one people not as groups. This is not a black or white problem it is American problem.
