How The US Government Destroyed Black Families (Documentary)

It’s no secret. Fatherless households are more common in the Black community. A survey from the American consensus institution revealed that 67% of Black children under 18 in the U.S. live in homes without fathers. This is a stark contrast to White children, as only 24% of them live in fatherless homes.

But it wasn’t always like that. The black family survived generations of open racism, widespread poverty, and slavery. They lived through segregation and violence. And strong family bonds used to be the norm.

Between 1890 and 1950, the marriage rate was much higher among black women than white women. A fraction of black children lived in homes without their fathers.

But everything changed with the expansion of the welfare state. This is how the US government destroyed black families.
