CNN says Jones got 96% of the black vote!! THERE IS YOUR RACISM

cawacko said:
Bro, his words were quite clear. Saying there were many reasons families were torn apart does not justify or come close to equaling family members being sold.

And it's no wonder Republicans can't win black votes when we say things like this. Besides being flat out wrong it is completely tone death.

I've seen different versions of his quote. I'd like to know which one you are citing.

Saying that because some slave family members were sold, does not negate the importance of family during slavery.

At a Roy Moore rally in September, one of the only African Americans in the audience asked when Moore thought America was last “great.”

In response, the Republican candidate for Senate for Alabama acknowledged the nation’s history of racial divisions, but said: “I think it was great at the time when families were united — even though we had slavery — they cared for one another…. Our families were strong, our country had a direction.”

Our country has a direction during slavery? Help me out here. If I'm black what direction did our country have at that time?

I think that it is quite clear from that quote, that Moore is acknowledging that Slavery was bad.

As I'm sure know, even Frederick Douglas, acknowledged, later in life, ... that the U.S. Constitution was not a Slave Document. As you know, it provided for an eventual ban on the importation of new slaves. The "direction" was one that would lead to the end of European slavery in the U.S..

I have never heard anyone else say they felt families were strongest during slavery. I love the South but haven't lived there for years. Is that a familiar phrase he was repeating that I'm unaware of?

And the question was asked by a black gentleman. There was no time after slavery that was better for black families than during slavery?

I have not heard it before either. Without further context, I can only assume that Moore feels families were stronger in America during it's founding.

I don't think Moore was speaking only about Black families just because the question was posed by a Black person.

Let me add, Moore's point is that families used to be stronger in "the past". He does not give us a specific date ... such as prior to 1958.

Why mention slavery then? I'm not all that familiar with the guy buts it pretty clear why he hasn't even won a statewide election in Alabama if this was the type of response he offered.

I think he was referring to the Antebellum South in general, did he actually mention slavery or was that something attributed to him?

I assume, it was because he was a Black person was asking the question. Otherwise, he would have never mentioned it. IMHO.

Yeah, the whole Moore thing is done and over. But I wanted to give you the respect of responding to your question to me.

I don't know much about him either. I believe Moore equates family with religious faith. I'm sure his comments are related to the demise of the traditional family ... more than anything else.

I appreciate the conversation and that it was done in a respectful manner.

Moore never gives us a specific time period ... only that that period also includes the antebellum period.

Right, so he was saying that, even despite slavery, family structures were very strong back then. Surely that cannot be any surprise to anybody who has made even a cursory study of that era.

Anyone who's made a "cursory study of that era" knows that black families were not stronger back then. Children of slave women were regularly sold or bartered away. Moore was talking about white families, which in Alabama (to the racists) are the only ones that count.

Beginning in the early 1970s, there was a drastic increase in the number of bastard births. That's just a few years after a major increase in the number of social welfare programs. When the government takes upon itself to take the place of the father in the household, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the number of illegitimate births increases.

Many Liberals today want to blame the deterioration of the black family on slavery and the legacy of slavery. Unless it skipped a few generations, that's a false claim. Today, the illegitimate birth rate among blacks is almost 75%. Just less than 100 years ago (1920s), 85% of black families were two parent. It was 14% by the 1940s and 25% prior to the onset of social welfare programs.

The illegitimate birth rate among all races is bad. When the overall total is over 40%, that's horrible.

The black illegitimate birth rate was far less when segregation was in place. Blacks can't claim slavery or the legacy of slavery is the cause of the almost 75% bastard birth rate today among blacks unless they're willing to claim it skipped several generations when discrimination against blacks, including but not limited to, segregation was in place. When the federal government creates programs where the government takes the place of the father when it comes to supporting a family, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the illegitimate birth rate among ALL races is not 41/100 births.
