Family
A weakened Black family emerged from slavery. The destruction of the family unit through the slave master’s intrusive sexual exploitation of women and other evil designs evolved into a volatile moral code for black people.
As a consequence, today over 70 percent of African-American children are born to unmarried women in America.
That number is an astonishing residual effect of slavery. Such large numbers children born to single mothers is clearly the wrong model for a stable, secure future for black people, as there is a direct link between an absent father and an increased chance that a child will drop out of high school and have a criminal record.
