In many parts of the world nuclear+extended family is the norm.

I don’t know of any part where single parenting is the norm and preferred family type unit. It’s generally looked on as a hardship worldwide.

Single parenthood is the norm within the Black community. Children raised in a 2-parent household are an exception. The argument made in the past about single parenthood has been that there are too few marriageable Black men since many are incarcerated. That being the case, why should Black women rule out parenthood due to the lack of a suitable mate?

I think the nuclear family model needs to be revised to take care of extended family. I think it needs to not put pressure on people to have more than one child. I also think it's damaging for children to have a dad who doesn't live with the family. We all need to do better. That can start by giving all women everywhere the ability to easily choose if and how many children to have. That would solve about 90% of the world's problems.

I think pretty much in all cultures and societies globally the basic family structure is always the two parents with children. The difference is that more traditional societies also have extended larger families of aunts and uncles and cousins forming an extended support network. This was also much more common in the US till probably the 50s. Actually, it still is among may people. The weakening of the extended family network seems to go hand in hand with rapid industralization and modernization because people become more global and move around much more often. To use as an example, my mother grew up in your standard whitebread American family and through the 1960s she lived in a neighborhood along with her grandparents, several sets of aunts and uncles and cousins and second cousins and their families. Nowadays, everyone is scattered across the country.

I lived in the Middle East for years and was always impressed by the extremely strong extended family network among Middle Easterners (note the emphasis on family, which is not akin to a collection of strangers or complicated partnerships among adults forming a "village" for the children) and I do think many people in the US would benefit from having that kind of extended family network as there's a lot of loneliness in the modern West. But the BLM attack on the nuclear family is clearly meant to try to shift blame away from personal responsibility and to pretend that the high out of wedlock pregnancy rates isn't part of the problem especially for poorer African Americans. While I initially had sympathy for BLM at the onset, it's pretty clear the movement has morphed to blaming all cultural, economic and social problems on everything else to avoid accepting any element of personal responsibility as part of the progress needed.

+100!!!

In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan demonized Black mothers in his (in)famous report on Black America: “A community that allows a large number of men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to make authority...that community asks for and gets chaos.”

Fifty-five years later, Black women raising children outside of traditional definitions of a nuclear family continue to be subject to demonization, criminalization, and damaging stereotypes casting them as “welfare queens” and “unfit mothers”.

That’s bullshit.

Black women are the strongest, most resilient, most self-sacrificing hardest muthafcuking working women on the planet and they should be respected not looked down upon which is what all y’all are innately trained to do. If you truly give a shit then how about discussing how to better uplift these beautiful Black women and praise their effort and dedication to do what they do despite the fact that their family doesn’t fit the patriarchal model deemed as the norm.

BLM is a Marxist organization.

An important principle of Marxism is to diminish the importance of the family structure and replace it with The State as the primary structure to which young people relate.

They can then be counted on to inform on and intimidate their families, acting as an arm of State authority that extends into each and every home with a far better and deeper penetration than would ever be capable by a government run program of surveillance and intimidation.


A fundamental goal of Marxism is maintain control of the population. That is accomplished through fear and intimidation. That is made possible by the threat of children informing on their parents, which can only happen if children are raised by the “the village” (The State) rather than by their parents.


It’s Marxism.

Didn’t any of y’all study PoliSci?

Japan, China, India - Atleast all that I have seen when visiting and expats from these countries take nuclear families very seriously.

Much moreso than “whites” in the west .

Since when has the nuclear family been western?

China? Really?

EVERYONE should rule out parenthood if you cannot afford to raise children. Single or married, no one cares- as long as you can afford to have kids and give them a stable home life and educational support so they aren't running on the streets getting into trouble and continuing the cycle of property and crime

EVERYBODY should grease a community and work place that supports all types of families. If you can’t afford to do that don’t start a company. Nobody cares if you can afford it. Parenting is more important than whatever your company does, structure it to support the family!

They may be hardworking, but they haven't been able to raise their sons to avoid prison and get married.

Not all but “happily married” white couples can’t keep their kids from shooting up schools and never getting married so I guess no family structure is totally infallible is it?

It's just a dumb thing to put into a BLM framework and shows that the organizers are not very smart or focused - or that they have entirely other intentions. "Black Lives Matters." You'd think it would be something to rally around. Not really, because instead their ridiculous list on the website rambles all over the place, about ciswhite, trans people, women's rights, men-centered environments, nuclear families, western culture, and god knows what else. It's like someone through darts at a "wokeness" dartboard and whatever hit was copy-pasted onto their organizational goals. Good luck with that!
