I'm a person of color so I think I have a better understanding of this then you. Plus, I can read and comprehend something you appear to lack.

If you are for the dismantling of the nuclear family and are all in on the trans agenda then BLM is a group for you. But what do those things have to do with Black lives and police brutality? Nothing. So why is it on their website? The Black community has started to figure out the BLM movement has been hijacked by the far left. When Don Lemon tells Terry Crews that it's just about police brutality and Crews calls him out on it why does Lemon double down on the lie?
Relax and don’t worry about it.
Black Lives Matter.
You think the group who has that website goes a bit overboard, that’s fine.
 
So you believe that the nuclear family needs to be done awsy with as well. Had no idea that so many of the posters on here felt that way. I wonder how their parents, spouses, kids and extended family feel.about that. You people do realize that one of the biggest crisis facing the nlack community is kids growing up without their Dads. But you guys are in support of this. Wow.
It’s not a zero sum game. I got news for you, the “nuclear family” is changing for ALL types of creeds and color. What does nuclear family mean to you? One penis and one vagina? Kids need stability and love to flourish and feel secure. That can mean two moms, two dads, a grandparent and a parent. As long as kids have a stable, constant, and loving presence in their lives, they will thrive. That’s why they say ”it takes a village”.

I think the vagina and penis were here first, just saying. I know some very loving families that have two penis's and some with two vaginas and some with whatever. The village part is what I don't like about any movement or cult. No offense, my family of four is a nuclear bomb and I mean that. One big atom of love. I dont need a village leader to come over and tell me how to run my household. Hell no!!! I will die before that ever the hell happens and so will my family.

I think you should slow down, step back, take a deep breath, and consider the possibility that the only people who buy into your interpretation of BLM are you and the guy who talked you into it.

He provided a direct quote from the BLM manifesto. You really HAVEN'T read it, have you?

The statistics speak for themselves. Mama Peggy and daddy Michelle looks bad to everyone.

Yes, fatherless families have worked so well.
 
Fatherless families don't work well in a culture that assumes all families have resident fathers, except for those families who have the resources to overcome the lack of one.



The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline. According to a 1993 Metropolitan Life Survey, "Violence in America's Public Schools," 71 percent of teachers and 90 percent of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to the violence in schools. Sixty-one percent of elementary students and 76 percent of secondary children agree with this assessment.

 
Effects of Fatherless Families on Crime Rates

1. The Root of Crime
Today, nearly 25 million children have an absentee father.1) According to the professional literature, the absence of the father is the single most important cause of poverty.2) The same is true for crime. Of all adolescents, those in intact married families are the least likely to commit delinquent acts.3) Children of single-parent homes are more likely to be abused, have emotional problems, engage in questionable behavior, struggle academically, and become delinquent.4) Problems with children from fatherless families can continue into adulthood. These children are three times more likely to end up in jail by the time they reach age 30 than are children raised in intact families, and5) have the highest rates of incarceration in the United States.6) According to Kevin and Karen Wright:
Research into the idea that single-parent homes may produce more delinquents dates back to the early 19th century…. [O]fficials at New York State's Auburn Penitentiary, in an attempt to discern the causes of crime, studied the biographies of incarcerated men. Reports to the legislature in 1829 and 1830 suggested that family disintegration resulting from the death, desertion, or divorce of parents led to undisciplined children who eventually became criminals. Now well over a century later, researchers continue to examine the family background of unique populations and reach similar conclusions.7)
The growth of the poverty-ridden family today is linked directly with the growth of the family headed by the always-single mother. Children living in female-headed families with no spouse present have a poverty rate of 45.8 percent, over four times the rate of children in married-couple families (9.5 percent).8) This modern form of family disintegration – or more accurately non-formation – has its consequences for criminal behavior. The growth in crime is paralleled by the growth in families abandoned by fathers.9)
States with a lower percentage of single-parent families, on average, will have lower rates of juvenile crime. State-by-state analysis indicates that, in general, a 10 percent increase in the number of children living in single-parent homes (including divorces) accompanies a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime.10) On the contrary, children of intact married families are the least likely to engage in serious violent delinquency compared to children of single-mother, single-father, and mother-stepfather families.11)
Along with the increased probability of family poverty and heightened risk of delinquency, a father's absence is associated with a host of other social problems. The three most prominent effects are lower intellectual development, higher levels of illegitimate parenting in the teenage years, and higher levels of welfare dependency.12) According to a 1990 report from the Department of Justice, more often than not, missing and “throwaway” children come from single-parent families, families with step parents, and cohabiting-adult families.
2. Abandoned Mothers
In normal families a father gives support to his wife, particularly during the period surrounding birth and in the early childhood years when children make heavy demands on her.13) In popular parlance, he is her “burn-out” prevention. But a single mother does not have this support, and the added emotional and physical stress may result in fatigue and less parent availability to the child, increasing the risk of a relationship with the child that is emotionally more distant. The single mother generally is less able to attend to all of her child's needs as quickly or as fully as she could if she were well taken care of by a husband. These factors tend to affect the mother's emotional attachment to her child and in turn reduce the child's lifelong capacity for emotional attachment to others and empathy for others. Such empathy helps restrain a person from acting against others' well-being. Violent criminals obviously lack this. At the extreme, and a more common situation in America's inner cities, the distant relationship between a mother and child can become an abusing and neglectful relationship.14) Abandoned mothers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes end up abandoning their own children physically or emotionally. This causes the child to think the mother’s abandonment of them is their own fault.15)
These observations have disturbing implications for society. If the conditions in which psychopathy is bred continue to increase, then America will have proportionately more psychopaths, and society is at an increased risk of suffering in unpredictable ways.

3. Abandoned Sons
A father's attention to his son has enormous positive effects on a boy's emotional and social development.16) But a boy abandoned by his father is deprived of a deep sense of personal security.17) According to Rolf Loeber, Professor of Psychiatry, Psychology and Epidemiology at the Western Psychiatric Institute in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, “A close and intense relationship between a boy and his father prevents hostility and inappropriate aggressiveness.” This inappropriate aggressiveness is an early indication of potential delinquency later on, particularly in boys.18) Furthermore, such bad behavior is a barrier to the child's finding a place among his more normal peers,19) and aggressiveness usually is the precursor of a hostile and violent “street” attitude.20) Elijah Anderson, Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, observes that these young men, very sensitive in their demands for “respect,” display a demeanor which communicates “deterrent aggression” not unlike the behavior that causes normal peers to reject and isolate aggressive boys in grade school.21) The message of this body language, of course, triggers rejection by the normal adult community.
4. Absence of a Father's Authority and Discipline
The dominant role of fathers in preventing delinquency is well-established. Over fifty years ago, this phenomenon was highlighted in the classic studies of the causes of delinquency by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck of Harvard University.22) They described in academic terms what many children hear their mothers so often say: “Wait till your father gets home!” In a well-functioning family, the very presence of the father embodies authority, an authority conveyed through his daily involvement in family life.23) This paternal authority is critical to the prevention of psychopathology and delinquency.24)
The benefits a child receives from his relationship with his father are notably different from those derived from his relationship with his mother. The father contributes a sense of paternal authority and discipline which is conveyed through his involved presence.25) The additional benefits of his affection and attachment add to this primary benefit. Albert Bandura, professor of psychology at Stanford University, observed as early as 1959 that delinquents suffer from an absence of the father's affection.26)
