The Black American Fertility rate is the lowest of any ethnic group for all individuals in that group with over a 30% income with over $30,000 in income. The top 70% of Black earners in the United States are the absolute lowest and by a significant margin.
00:02:50.740I'd like to note here how much less it was in white communities.
00:02:54.180So right now, if you look at white American kids, 28% are born out of wedlock.
00:02:58.420In Black communities in the 1940s, it was only 19%.
00:03:01.840Well, so when I think about this, it makes a lot of sense.
00:03:04.900Because when I think about historical Black communities or anything that I read about influential figures in the space, there's a lot of religion.
00:03:13.760There's a lot of very traditional views.
00:03:21.020You ought to be ashamed of yourself, dancing to the devil like that.
00:03:26.680And also, I don't know how to articulate this, but like, more buttoned up, respectful, and less trashy?
00:03:37.160Like, when I think about the time, I think also, like, even just American presidents are just like the, like, when you think about historical white figures, and then historical Black figures, the historical Black figures are just so, like, respectable, intelligent, smart, wholesome, religious.
00:03:52.600And then you think about, like, we've got Andrew Jackson.
00:03:55.460I mean, even Abraham Lincoln was a bit of a slob.
00:03:58.120Like, people were like, groom a beard, sir, please.
00:04:00.920But this is where it gets really interesting.
00:04:02.940And I want to talk about the theft and zombification of Black culture.
00:04:07.880Because when you look at the BLM movement, what was one of the things they had on their website that they were promoting?
00:04:13.400These frauds who were running this movement.
00:04:16.120This is the Black Lives Matter movement, for people who don't know.
00:04:18.280They were supposed to be promoting, like, Black culture and identity.
00:04:20.700It was that being anti-nuclear family, being anti-marriage, being pro-kids not having two parents, that that was an intrinsically Black thing.
00:04:37.660Now, the Black Lives Matter Foundation, right on their website, says that they aim at deconstructing the Western-prescribed traditional family structure, excluding fathers specifically.
00:04:49.780That part of BLM's agenda was the destruction of the nuclear family, because they saw that as Black culturally, when actually the exact opposite is true.
00:05:02.680Historically speaking, Black culture was more pro-nuclear family than white culture.
00:05:08.880They were more family-oriented than white culture.
00:05:39.680You know, the effect that it's had, we've had women for generations now saying that they don't need a man, and we have boys that don't want to be one.
00:05:48.140And you see other examples of this, like, remember the Smithsonian race card?
00:05:51.860What I'm thinking about more is the most recent historical Black community museum thing we went to, remember, was the museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which talked about the Black business community that was formed there.
00:06:05.960And that's what stands in, it's such stark contrast to me that the destruction of that community to a great extent was driven by white anger about how much that community was thriving and, like, oh, they're so wealthy.
00:06:19.880Like, how, mer, we have to destroy it because it's so good.
00:06:23.360And now, like, so we went from this amazing, like, Black capitalism and business owners and traditional families to Black Lives Matter, essentially saying that Marxist ideals are what, are Black ideals.
00:06:46.160It goes through and it talks about what white culture is, and then by, you know, extension, it's trying to say this is the antithesis of what Black culture is.
00:06:54.880So just to read it, white dominant culture or whiteness refers to the way white people and their traditions, attitudes, and ways of life have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States.
00:07:09.220And since white people still hold most of the institutional power in America, we have all internalized some aspects of white culture, including people of color.
00:07:17.860So the first thing they say that's white culture, rugged individualism.
00:08:41.540It does seem, well, and that one is really interesting because you look and you know any Black person who grew up,
00:08:46.720like if you've talked with older Black people, they're like, I was raised believing I had to work five times as hard for the same rewards and learn to be happy about it.
00:09:46.620Like, the Roman Empire was not the most pleasant of people.
00:09:49.920But I still see that we are better under civilization than we were when we would sacrifice children under new bridges that were being built to appease the gods so the bridge wouldn't collapse.
00:10:41.360But I mean, the reason I wanted to bring this up is so that we could get a better understanding of just how twisted and erased actual Black culture was historically.
00:10:52.640And I'm going to put a graph on screen here that I think shows the horror of all of this, where you can see the moment that all of this changed, which was the 1960s.
00:11:02.160It's sort of, the change began in the 1950s.
00:11:05.500You have this sort of flat line here in terms of Black women being more likely to be married than white women.
00:11:12.320And it was twice as likely to be married, by the way.
00:11:15.640Only 5% of Black women during this period were unmarried, where 10% of white women were.
00:11:20.820And then it shoots up to now like 48%, right?
00:11:23.940So the question then became for me, well, holy shiz, because you see first a slow increase from 1950 to 1980, and then an explosion after 1980.
00:11:36.180So the question is, what started to happen in a slow way between 1950 and 1980 that led to this erasure of the historic Black culture?
00:11:44.660And then happened in a big way post that.
00:11:48.600And I need to be clear here about like, what the outcome of this erasure, what the outcome of 70% of Black kids being born to single parents is.
00:12:00.920After controlling for maternal education, age, children's age, and gender, we find that the odds of being poor for Black children in non-intact families are 3.7x higher.
00:12:10.920So 370% higher than for Black children in married families.
00:12:16.220After controlling for maternal education, as well as adults' gender, age, and AFQT scores, we find the odds of Black young adults getting a college degree are 70% higher if they were raised by their own two parents.
00:12:27.720And Black children who grew up in a single family were 180% more likely to spend time in jail by their 20s.
00:12:37.280In fact, Black children from intact families uniformly do better than white children from single families.
00:12:43.680This is true whether you're looking at income, incarceration rates, or college.
00:12:47.180For instance, 36% of young Black women from intact families have graduated from college compared to just 28% of young white women from single families.
00:12:55.160Likewise, 14% of young Black men from intact families have been incarcerated compared to 18% of young white men from single-parent families.
00:13:04.340Moreover, 13% of Black children in intact families were poor compared to 33% of white children in single-parent families.
00:13:13.500There have been a series, and I'll add and post some of the names here.
00:13:17.020Specifically here, Christina Cross, a sociologist at Harvard University, who in a New York Times op-ed, The Myths of the Two-Parent Home, Cross contended that, quote,
00:13:27.100quote, living apart from a biological parent does not carry the same cost for Black youth as white peers, end quote.
00:13:33.700And then also Regina S. Baker at Stony Center on Socioeconomic Inequality at SUNY Graduate Center.
00:13:42.180Of academic, university academics, who are trying to get people to normalize to the idea that Blacks are not actually as affected as whites by being in single-parent families,
00:13:53.500and therefore we shouldn't create families to incentivize this.
00:13:57.620And it is true, they are, like, the benefits to them are slightly lower than the benefits to white people, but the benefits are effing enormous.
00:14:24.900Consider how well the average Black American would have done in a world where Black women were having kids within marriage or outside of marriage at half the rate that white women had children outside of marriage.
00:14:37.420Well, and I'm also thinking about what we touched on at the very beginning, which is that Black birth rates are abysmal.
00:14:44.980And one of the top things that helps birth rates of any group is marriage and young marriage.
00:14:50.760And if marriage is a major, I mean, it seems to be a major leading indicator of plummeting birth rates.
00:14:56.540Well, and here, the, the, and I note here, so people are like, what, are you saying that Blacks historically were not the same as they are today?
00:15:03.540Yeah, actually, and here's something where I was asking AI.
00:15:07.060The incarcerate differences between Blacks and white Americans in 1950 was lower than modern rates.
00:15:38.960And we're not saying that there isn't still institutional racism.
00:15:41.640It's just that there's, there's been a, we're, we now have 50 years of intervening, fighting against it and legislating against it and regulating against it and culturally fighting against it.
00:15:51.780So we are in a better position now, hopefully, than we were back then.
00:16:17.300It talked about Black women moving to free love, common law and transient marriages, serial partnerships, cohabitation outside of wedlock, queer relationships, and single motherhood.
00:16:41.800How did Marxism attack Black culture or take over Black culture?
00:16:47.640Well, so I think it's very much that Blacks have always felt that they can rely on one party and not the other party.
00:16:56.000Originally, it was the Republicans, and then they shifted to the Democrats.
00:16:59.760But they voted uniformly in really high levels.
00:17:03.000And we're going to go over that later in this episode.
00:17:05.180And because of that, they don't see the threats from their own party.
00:17:09.320So the Democratic side right now is ongoing an active Black genocide campaign.
00:17:15.000And you could say, no, they're not undergoing an active Black genocide campaign.
00:17:19.380Well, they did set up Black Parenthood.
00:17:21.500The founder of it, Margaret Singer, did go to KKK rallies.
00:17:25.060She did say the purpose of it was to remove unfit genes and specifically noted Blacks among those.
00:17:31.060And if you didn't have Planned Parenthood in the United States, the amount of Black people in the United States would be literally over 25% higher.
00:17:44.120And you could say, well, they don't do that anymore.
00:17:46.660And then I'm like, yeah, except for the fact that 89% of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority communities.
00:17:54.000Yeah, I used to attend Planned Parenthood for reproductive health, like to get birth control pills prescribed.
00:18:00.760And I was always the only white person in the office.
00:18:05.180It went from a world of, yeah, and that's the thing.
00:18:09.120Like people are like, well, Planned Parenthood isn't exactly trying to eradicate the Black community from our country.
00:18:13.820It's like, well, I mean, okay, I don't think that anybody who is working at a Planned Parenthood knows that's what it was set up in part to do.
00:18:21.900I don't think that they are aware of it.
00:18:24.760In all of these clan connections and stuff, go to our Planned Parenthood episode.
00:18:28.700This is all admitted on the Planned Parenthood website.
00:18:44.180They're trying to serve underserved communities that don't have ready access to other forms of health care.
00:18:49.660But it's moved from we are systemically trying to erase this community because they are lesser than other communities to we are trying to systemically erase you because we love you.
00:19:25.26075% of young black men are unemployed.
00:19:27.800So remember that book I mentioned, The Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, right?
00:19:33.000So it mentioned that black women who were employed had a hard time finding men who were employed, the ratio being something like 10 to 5 or something close.
00:19:43.060And this is something you actually see.
00:19:45.040So now we're going to talk about why their fertility rate is so low.
00:19:47.700It's in part that black women just have a really, really hard time finding black men, and black men have a hard time locking down black women.
00:23:34.280Yeah, I feel like there's, I almost feel as though modern society in highlighting that black groups face discrimination.
00:23:45.700And that there has been historical and still some present systemic disadvantages, especially against blacks in the United States, especially those who descended from slaves.
00:23:58.560That now that we're elevating the fight against any remaining systemic racism, we're saying these people are discriminated against and therefore not as high status, right?
00:31:27.260but in a way that is much more dramatic than any other cultural group within the U.S.
00:31:31.060because it was explicitly targeted to try to turn black culture
00:31:34.840into an entirely reliable democratic voting bloc.
00:31:38.660So you think that that's what it was, is that ultimately it's not just progressive culture.
00:31:46.440It's also progressive culture plus one political party ultimately saying,
00:31:52.160OK, we're now going to say that we speak for you and that you belong to us and we are going to try to control you.
00:31:58.840Well, yes, they have literally hijacked black identity.
00:32:03.500I mean, think about the line you that Biden literally said while running for president that didn't like end his candidacy immediately.
00:32:10.440If you don't vote for me, you aren't black.
00:32:12.620If you don't vote for me, how did Howard Dean get disqualified for an enthusiastic utterance and yet Biden can say things like that and still get elected?
00:32:23.980This is because everybody knows that mainstream Democrats think this way, that they think that they own black culture.
00:32:30.240It's so bad that there was an undercover reporter that we're dealing with right now.
00:32:34.360And one of the things that they got on us, quote unquote, got on us, is us saying that,
00:32:40.600well, we try to elevate the voices of POC women within the movement because it's better than, you know, hearing about demographic collapse from a white guy.
00:32:49.460And they're like, oh, this is so insidious.
00:33:32.000When they make up all of these things about black culture, when they say that being black means you don't have a work ethic, being black means you're not family-centered, being black means you don't like numbers.
00:33:42.740It's because you don't believe in numbers or the value of time.
00:33:46.460What they need to say are these are things that I as a progressive believe, and because we have stolen black identity, we are supplanting them upon black identity.
00:33:55.220And it is very, very, very important if any faction of healthy black identity is to survive within our country that they see this.
00:34:05.720And what I would say is, and this gives me a lot of hope, is first, it's important to note that there are three core black groups in the U.S.
00:34:13.360that are as culturally distant from each other as, you know, I might be from a Russian-American.
00:34:21.940They might be as I am from like a Chinese-American.
00:34:24.360Specifically, this is the African-Immigrants, a completely different cultural group, often really looks down upon the Native American black community.
00:34:36.600Like, they are, of the people I know, the most outwardsly racist.
00:34:41.320Even more racist than Asians, because they know that they can get away with it and they seem to, like, get off on it a bit.
00:34:46.700But especially, like, my Igbo friends, like, oof, they love baiting me because they know that, like, I get really uncomfortable when I hear somebody say something that's racist.
00:34:54.460And so they just have fun because they know they can get away with it all they want.
00:34:57.780And I just have to sit there and, like, okay, guys.
00:35:00.000Yeah, actually, no, I'm having this internal montage of people that we've encountered saying really racist things and then watching your face.
00:35:10.880Like, that one person who will not be named who referred to of our employees like this.
00:45:13.820So if I go to country music, and country music is actually kind of hard here, because the problem with the country music charts is when I go through it, it'll have Post Malone as the top song.
00:45:29.880And I'm like, these are not country music.
00:45:32.300Well, I also don't know if for rap or country, we can really look at charts, because there's a whole rabbit hole year.
00:45:39.700But the entire world of mainstream, quote unquote, successful music is a complete scam and very contrived and manufactured and not actually based on consumer based demand for the most part.
00:45:53.060I'm not looking at the songs by like Post Malone.
00:45:55.720But anyway, I pulled it up on here on Perplexity.
00:46:00.200And it says, take your time is the first one.
00:46:03.400It's on love and relationships, explores the nuances of taking time and romance.
00:46:07.480So consider this like one's about I'm the greatest person ever.
00:46:10.760The other is take your time in a relationship.
00:46:14.220Sunshine and whiskey captures carefree moments and enjoying life.
00:46:18.080So it's not about like drinking at a bar, sunshine and whiskey.
00:46:20.140Next is is games discussion is the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship.
00:46:26.200The next is homegrown celebrates rural life and pride.
00:46:30.520The next is on to something good focuses on resilience and optimism after setbacks.
00:46:35.760The next is I remember everything pointing at look back at past experiences and relationships.
