We've had some very "not so nice" posts between each other. Look,  I believe some of your posts are simply insane, and I'm sure you feel the same as mine. I will more than likely disagree with you, and you with me. At the end of the day You are a member of JTF, and I should respect you, even when I believe your opinoin is completly insane. I wanted too take this opportunity to let you know that I was always right in the first place ( sarcasm ) Be well Erica, no hard feeling ok ?

Very hard working, very strong family unit.  Growing in NY many of the old school Italian neighborhoods was such a pleasure.  Everyone was there to help each other through good and bad.

That's refreshing to hear/read, Masterwolf. Once African Americans get back to the times when family was all that mattered, we'll all probably be better off.

What do you mean "get back to the times when family was all that mattered"?  That implies that there WAS a time when family matter for Africans.  There's no indication that marriage was a particularly strong institution among Africans or is a strong institution today for them.

Exactly!

Could someone please point out the time and/or place where morallity and family values reigned supreme in the negro culture?

Screw this. I'm through. Everytime I try to bring positivity here, it gets stomped on. I sat here and typed out in agreement with Masterwolf that its great that his culture celebrates family. I can't win for losing here.

I know I said I was through but damn, I had to comment on this. There are heavily involved black families everywhere, not in the LARGE numbers you're looking for but they do exist.  There dosen't have to be a time and place. I also want to point out that America's divorce rate is at 50% now; if not more. Since you're a statistical person, why don't you tell me the ratio of divorced African Americans to divorced whites.
