(34,648 posts)The Eugenics movement was never acceptable to me, since it used pseudoscience to show that Blacks weren't really humans to keep them subservient. It was self serving and racist and quite ignorant. I do not give anyone a pass just because it was long ago. I hope that the future people don't give us a pass either, because i want them disgusted at the ways in which we hurt each other.
You should not discuss race until you learn more about people. You think that Black fathers leave their families and that we Black women don't have sex education and have too many kids to take care of and that's why black people are poor. You never even factored in history of slavery, jim crow, and white supremacy or the targeting of black men by law enforcement when making your statement. You sound like a person who saw this stuff on TV and think you know us. My husband read your post and was furious. He wanted to sign up and tell you off but i would not let him.
And don't try to tell me you lived in South Central, because i did too. And Long Beach. And carson. And Watts. And SFV. I do not believe you at all because if you would have said this to the kids in Compton or SC they would have crucified you. I know because i still have friends and relatives living all throughout LA and i can tell you where every gang territory starts and ends. Those are my folks.
All my friends had fathers and the took care of their kids.
You generalized a whole race of americans like you were above them.
