Family

Black Lives Matter is a group that started because of police mistreatment of Black males. It has recently been hurt by people in leadership positions misusing donations. One of the major positions of BLM is their understanding of what the family is all about. As they looked around and saw the number of Black children being raised in fatherless homes they decided that the father could be replaced by the neighborhood in conjunction with the state. "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable," it says on the page titled "What we believe." Instead of concentrating on how to get fathers back with their families they have chosen a system that can operate without fathers and thus the idea that the mothers who are working sometimes two jobs can ban together and create a new type of family structure based on the community working as a group. 75% of Black babies are born to single moms and 40% of abortions are Black. This devastation of the Black family started in the 60's with the Great Society where the state began the slow process of taking the place of the father.
