This is not just blaming the white folk. You sound like you're trying to defend yourself and your when there is no cause for you to do so.I'm just going to give you this, since the way I put it isn't logical to you:
http://www.gazetteonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll...16045/1002/NEWSThis is basically things that me and the other guy have been saying:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who was then an assistant secretary of labor and later would become a U.S. senator, sounded the alarm over the dissolution of the black family. He blamed slavery and racism for the problem.Slavery split up black families. Jim Crow laws that followed the end of slavery in the late 1800s heaped on humiliation and oppression -- especially for men looking for jobs, Moynihan wrote. Continuing racism in the 20th century condemned millions of black Americans to a cycle of discrimination, poor education and poverty.These forces were causing disaster for black families and therefore disaster for American society, Moynihan concluded. Unemployment, inner-city crime, welfare rates and school dropout rates were climbing as the black family in America imploded. Critics condemned Moynihan's conclusions as racist and sexist. Critics argued the black family was simply evolving, that households run by single mothers were part of an effective social system. They said an insistence on the traditional father figure was white, middle-class, male chauvinist snobbery.Diann Dawson, director of the Office of Regional Operations for the Administration for Children and Families since 1996 and head of the African American Healthy Marriage Initiative, said those criticisms miss the point.It wasn't until the 1970s that black men began in such large numbers to abandon the children they had fathered, she said. Why should women now have to raise their children alone, given that they did not in the 1950s, she asked."For those women, is that by choice? Probably not," she said.She said welfare programs in the second half of the 20th century helped erode families -- and not just for blacks. "In many ways, public policy discouraged marriage," she said.</div>This idea has been repeated over and over again, black and white analysts alike have said it. You don't have to agree, you can just sweep it under the rug like a lot of people are doing, but you can't hide the argument.So Justice, you see, the fact that slavery impacted a large number of African Americans, the so called "trait" that we speak of has been passed down from generation to generation. It is
not the same thing as your example of a white guy blaming his great bla blah for being deadbeat. Whites weren't the ones enslaved. It is the same thing as why blacks today have heart issues; we were given salted pork and fatty meals during slavery and it became a staple of our diet in the future. Genetically, high blood pressure and other heart ailments were passed down as well.
