>Talk-show host, attorney, and best-selling author Larry Elder said the breakdown of the family -- fatherless families -- is the number one problem in America, not racism or discrimination or bad cops. He added that when it comes to murder, nearly half of the homicides each year are black-on-black killings.
>Commenting on The Rubin Report, Larry Elder said there is a liberal agenda at work and "the goal is to tell black people that we’re victims, that discrimination, racism remain major problems in America when, in fact, they don’t. And they want black people to vote for the Democratic Party."
>"The Democratic Party gets 95% of the black vote, and the reason they get it is blacks are convinced that the number one issue facing the country is social justice, racist white cops, discrimination, systemic racism, micro-aggression – whatever new word they come up with – and it’s a bunch of nonsense," he said.
>The number one problem domestically facing this country is the breakdown of the family," said Elder. "And President Obama said it, I didn’t. A kid raised without a dad is five times more likely to be poor and commit crimes; nine times more likely to drop out of school; and 20 times more likely to end up in jail."
>"So, you’re far more likely to end up in jail without having a dad, than you are because of a white racist cop," said Elder.
Of course he's right. Destruction of the nuclear family was the destruction of America.
Elijah Jones
This.
Levi White
Also, to all the commiefags and socialists lurking here, tell me how leftypol will solve the fatherless problem, which is a more of a pressing problem then non existent systemic racism and Trans rights? I've yet to see any notable liberals raise this issue, which is probably America's greatest problem that affects all racial groups. Most liberals play down the issue
Bentley Davis
You're asking for a non-response. They have no answers.
Ethan Jones
He forgot to mention it was done to blacks by democrats on purpose and its what they want to do with everybody else, replace the family unit with the state.
Kayden Ross
Absolutely, the family is the foundational structure of civilization. Families produce healthy children who continue the reproduction cycle. A cadre of forces (some man-made wink wink) have thrown a monkey wrench into this cycle, and now the support beams of society are weakening and coming down.
Noah Taylor
leftists only care about their immediate pleasures and concerns and could give no fucks about posterity. Why should they care about someone in the future that they will never meet after they perish?
Lincoln Bennett
I've asked /leftypol/ something similar, and all I got was wishy-washy Utopian dreams based on 19th century anthropological conjecture
>"Well, if a tribe of hunter-gatherers are happy to engage in communal childcare of kin members, why can't mass societies with tens of thousands of people in a single urban area do the same?"
As for liberals, 90% of the responses will be "We need mo' money fo' dem programs", as if any child raised without a father would prefer to be slightly wealthier than, y'know, have a father
Joshua Reed
So basically, in their ideal world, they're going to force productive childless beta males to subsidise single motherhood and fatherless children will be raised in state run communes so the next generation could brainwashed to be dependant on the state? They have no preventative measures, just unload the problem to the guys who are the bedrock of western civilisation. Seems like their utopia is more like a dystopian nightmare. Marxists need to all die
Logan Hill
Not a single black person will listen to what he says.
Joshua Parker
I think the reality would basically be a world of depressing under-resourced orphanages where physical/sexual abuse is the rule, not the exception
Seriously these people have learned fucking nothing from the last ~200 years of mass society
Dominic Hughes
So Whites are basically a decade or two from being Blacks. Downward assimilation. Awesome.
Eli Adams
God bless Larry Elder.
Parker Cruz
The same shit was done to native indians in Canada. Kids were ripped away from their families and put in these fucked up boarding schools, where they got the shit beat out of them for speaking their own language. Brothers and sisters were separated,and brainwashed with the bible, then sent back to their parents once they aged out of the system.
Broke an entire generation of native indians, and turned the reservations they went back to into crime ridden hellholes.
Gabriel Myers
And white liberals won't listen to him as well. Fatherlessness is a pretty common phenomena across all racial groups, but everyone keeps ignoring the problem, except for a minority of conservatives. For some reason it's become taboo to discuss single motherhood, despite the fact that half of all children born today are from unmarried mothers.
Kayden Phillips
He has said this before fyi on his radio show. He's a libertarian
Austin Powell
Yet they bitch about climate change.
Xavier Jackson
Larry is the only conservative radio host I can stand now. He might not be popular here tho because he loves Israhell
I learn a new fact every day from his radio show on the way home from work 5pm central on am1280 the Patriot
Adrian Russell
Poverty also stopped going down when food stamps and the War on Poverty were introduced.
Elder is based.
Adam Bell
What incentive do beta males have in such a society to work and contribute if they are either never going to have children of their own, or if they do, they will be taken from them?
Alexander Gutierrez
>For some reason it's become taboo to discuss single motherhood, despite the fact that half of all children born today are from unmarried mothers.
I think it's because practically everyone is complicit. Even for those of us raised with two parents that stayed together, how many have other family relations or friends that have separated from the mother/father of their child? There's always some (often justifiable) reason for not shaming the one closest to you. And then there's the whole victim-blaming aspect, where proglibs chimp out at even the slightest concern over single motherhood because YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO RAISE A KID ON YOUR OWN etc etc
For a bit of history, I was reading a biography of Cyril Smith (the UK MP that was outed as a pedophile a few years ago) chronicling his upbringing in a small, industrial town during the Great Depression, and apparently local shops would refuse to serve his family because he and his siblings were bastards (no-one in the family even knew who his real father was). Can anyone here imagine that happening in a Western nation?
Mason Adams
It's ironic though. Leftists are outraged when minorities like native Indians have their children raised in state run indoctrination centres yet their socialist manifesto aims to do exactly that to all children once they realise their dreams of a communist/socialist takeover. The leftists are either evil or have severe cognitive dissonance. They love calling us destructive nihilists, but their vision of the future is just plain dystopian and depressing.
Jack Jenkins
Because both sides pander for the women's vote, and since women are the majority of the electorate, this won't change any time soon.
Adrian Martinez
He's right
Charles Clark
>What incentive do beta males have in such a society to work and contribute if they are either never going to have children of their own, or if they do, they will be taken from them?
IIRC E. Michael Jones (Catholic fundamentalist kinda-nutter, but general /ourguy/) mentioned this being attempted in parts of the early Soviet Union - and ultimately collapsing for the same reason you argued (i.e. men didn't want to fork out their meager earnings to support fatherless bastards that probably weren't even theirs).
This is of course remembering that your average Bolshevik was much, much, more socially conservative than your average Western commie now, so it wasn't hard for them to do an ideological 180 and support two-parent households for glory of communist Russia
Adam Wright
Yes, I've read about how Stalin had to undo some of the early policies catered toward women's rights, like easy divorce, because it was causing a breakdown in their society. You'd think leftists today would see that as a sign that their current approach towards the family is not sustainable.
Owen Thompson
I doubt the result would be any different. Childless Men are wired to not want to raise another man's child. They'll have to start planting brain implants in men to control the desire to have a progeny and not to rebel against the system, if they want to create such a dystopian vision of the future.
John Bennett
No shit he's right. Go to any forum that's mostly blacks and you'll see them posting the same shit on Sup Forums about jews jewing it up and how the family dynamics is the cornerstone to having a successful life.
I see it all the fucking time. Even on the most niggered up forums.
Connor Perry
And this is the rationale behind reversing women suffrage. If we don't do it, then we will end up with society full of broken families which will increase crime, decrease labour participation and productivity and will eventually lead to the destruction of western civilisation. Women cannot prioritise the welfare of society over their own desires. They're just not as invested in the long-term welfare of society as men are. I would like to be proven wrong for a change, but I've yet to see a female raise concerns about the single motherhood epidemic without claims for more gibs, which will only incentivize mire destructive behaviour. They're short term thinkers, like liberals.
Brayden Harris
They've already tried in Israel. State run communes, children belong to the commune, not to his parents.
The shit was as horrific as you can imagine. There was documentary on that.
Elijah Walker
He has black callers on the show daily who agree with him but ok. I'm into the bell curve graphs and shut but you're just wrong here.
Lucas Howard
It's not because women are at fault, they are searching for a solution. The problem is modern men of all creeds.
Jace Gutierrez
It's one of the main goals of cultural marxism. The destruction of the family leads to dependence on the state.
Parker Cox
>Judging single mothers as being incapable of raising able productive adults of society >OMG THAT CISGENDERED SEXIST SHITLORD IS SAYING SINGLE MOTHERS CAN'T RAISE KIDS
Oh boy THAT can of worms, but he's right though and there's nothing that can or will be done to fix it. No-fault divorce and premarital relations with the break down of the moral framework to support those rules and positions now gone there is no reason to impose these rules upon people. They'd think you sadistic for trying to stop them form getting their moments of pleasure and bigoted medieval shitlords for trying to impose ancient customs on they who are infinitely more enlightened and educated (so they think)
You can't win that argument goy its too late to save that society.
Ethan Anderson
It's a well known community called the Kibbutz, and it's been downplayed and ignored by the left, because the conclusions of that social experiment went against every liberal theory about gender roles and the states role in family. Read this.
Kek. Where are these women searching for a solution for the single motherhood crisis? Most women centric publications outright ignore, downplays or even make it seem like a great thing that 40 percent of children are being raised by unmarried mothers. And the gynocentric MSM loves to demonise anyone who ever suggests that giving more gibs to single mothers may not be a viable solution. The men who discuss the single motherhood problem are also demonised as sexist virgin dirtbags. Women can never admit they may have fucked up when it came to destigmatising single motherhood, and now you're seeing the results. This is what happens when society is unable to criticise women for their bad choices and instead become willful enablers.
Austin Foster
Bring up Larry Elder on any normie tier social media, and watch how quickly they call him a fucking Coon or an Uncle Tom. This is the supposedly anti racists by the way, who seem to think Blacks are supposed to have uniformity of thought because of their skin. You can't get more retarded than this.
