GOOD PARENTS:
The Key
To Black Progress
BAD PARENTS:
The Root Cause of

“All Vices and Virtues start in the home”
MAYA ANGELOU
The black community has never been bashful about expressing its opinion on any subject. It has protested and expressed its outrage over fatal police shootings, the Flint water crisis, Gov. Snyder, Donald Trump, downtown Detroit developments, and more. But there’s one issue you can’t pay the black community to tackle head-on. It’s bad parenting and its impact.
Black leaders and black poverty pimps are very good at talking about the problems affecting the black community. Nearly always, they blame society, the government, Republicans, the Tea Party, the police, racists, and the bogeyman of the month for our predicament.
The way some of them see it, unemployment, poor schools, low achievement, poverty, failing cities, and crime are all the result of external factors visited upon the black community.
Black “leaders” have been making the same argument for over 50 years. But how well has that argument been working for us? Not very well.
In too many cases, the root cause of much crime, unemployment, school drop-out rates, low student achievement, and rundown neighborhoods, is related to bad parenting. However, when you’ve been conditioned to think like a victim, you may take issue with that view.
But if you look at most successful people black or white, good parenting played a major role. If we don’t get this parenting thing right, our race will never reach its social, political and economic potential. It’s just that important.
