[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this mean?  Why does the nuclear family need to be disrupted?

“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”

An excuse for the lack of responsibility. [/quote]

This: it is a push back against the observation that 70-some-odd percent of black kids are born out of wedlock.

These last two statements are inextricably embedded in the American psyche and are one of the pillars that support the nation's systemic racism.

Specifically, the statements refuse to acknowledge (or are purposely ignorant about) the legacy of this problem - slavery. That is from August 1619 (a year before Plymouth Rock) to December 6, 1865 black women, men, and children were forced and sold away from their families, at will. Interesting that today we are expressing so much concern about black babies being born out of wedlock when marriage among slaves was not officially recognized. Honestly, ask yourself what would be the out of wedlock percentages of any race of people who had to endure such cruelty?

To enslave a people for 246 years and then mistreat them afterwards is ruthless. But to also beat them up later for not carrying on in life the way you would expect is diabolical. [/quote]

Your post is basically doing what BLM is doing, blame everything else rather than themselves for social problems. Why are we pointing to 1619 rather than the 1960s, when it was the 1960s when out of wedlock pregnancies started soaring among black Americans? That's a hundred years after the end of the civil war. One of the great achievements with the end of slavery in 1865 was that the newfound freedom provided the freed slaves with the ability to build much more stable family units, as defined by legally recognized marriages, which they apparently did until the late 1960s. But something changed in the 1960s.

And what is the linkage from slavery days to the high out of wedlock pregnancies and high rates of single parentage in today's world?

Lest someone wants to make this a racial thing, let me be the first to also point out that both single parent families and out of wedlock pregnancies are also soaring among white Americans, especially poorer white Americans. Race is obviously clearly not a factor there. [/quote]
