[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but what does the word salad of:

"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."

in the OP actual mean in a practical sense?  Is there some policy goal that could work towards this?  If so, what is it?[/quote]

A friend of mine, who is black, recently posted on social media about adoption, and the criticism that the Black community receives for not adopting more children in need. She said we need to realize that black women/families regularly take in children in need and care for them as one of their own, outside of the legal adoption process. Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. She said so many black kids have a sibling or cousin who is not a blood relative. This is the village that they refer to.

Today in wapo there was an article about an 88 year old DC man whose father was born into slavery. That’s how close we are to slavery and the fact that women and children and men were sold away from their families and had to form communities to help one another.[/quote]

I would be asking what does this have to do with the BLM demands? What exactly are they demanding regarding the nuclear family unit? Is the nuclear family unit somehow institutionally racist, which seems to be the implication of their demands because otherwise why would they be talking about it? What exactly does BLM want here?

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