Which is it first, the culture being self destructive in itself failing to do it’s part within the system or from a failure of the system in some way causing the breakdown of the culture? Truth be told, from what I know of a lot of these poorer places black or white they do get locked in these self destructive cycles and it’s recent with a lot of entire family units of divorced or signal mothers with wild kids hanging on a thread with grandparents being the last thing holding any stability or structure. What stability does exist is usually with the daughters and mothers who have better job security (teachers, medical industry, government) with a lack good father figures for the youth leading to gang or crime invovled, abusive absent parents which sets up the whole process all over again. Now, some argue that these communities need to be lifted out of it via external means (reparations and welfare) and others say that they need to do it themselves and that these communities won’t change till the cultural problems are addressed
I think it requires trying to tackle both with a caring hand and human dignity. The hard left don’t have the answers from a profit machine of needing the problem to exist and often trying to further deconstruct basic structures of a stable society without replacement. The right needs to address the needs of the Black community better than “pick yourself up” and that may require some social programs though not just handing money in a way that creates dependency Like Corey Bookers baby bounds idea that can’t be withdrawn from till the kid is 18, though that still wouldn’t solve broken homes and cultural issues I consider it something that could work in connection with other measures.

Peace to all
I asked Carlson about this, as his show is frequently centered on the turmoils caused by “demographic change.” He said that for decades, “conservatives just wrote [black economic struggles] off as a culture of poverty,” a line he includes in his monologue.He added that regarding black poverty, “it’s pretty easy when you’ve got 12 percent of the population going through something to feel like, ‘Well, there must be … there’s something wrong with that culture.’ Which is actually a tricky thing to say because it’s in part true, but what you’re missing, what I missed, what I think a lot of people missed, was that the economic system you’re living under affects your culture.”Carlson said that growing up in Washington, DC, and spending time in rural Maine, he didn’t realize until recently that the same poverty and decay he observed in the Washington of the 1980s was also taking place in rural (and majority-white) Maine. “I was thinking, ‘Wait a second … maybe when the jobs go away the culture changes,’” he told me, “And the reason I didn’t think of it before was because I was so blinded by this libertarian economic propaganda that I couldn’t get past my own assumptions about economics.”
