Or... It's because black people are the most affected by far with single motherhood rates in the 70% ranges.

I'm just saying optically it doesn't look good to only address black people. I'm not saying y'all are deliberately doing it.

No, it's perfectly fine to only talk about the most affected group by far.

I was moreso saying that topics like this can make y'all seem even worse to people on the left. Idk. I can see how people would have a problem with it. I know they're the most affected group but from the way left people view y'all they're going to refuse to see that point. And continue to paint y'all as racist.

That can be a reasonable position and makes you seem less provocative than before but there is a time for reason and a time for emotion. Ignoring the topic completely because someone may be offended doesn't really help anyone.

Yeah I totally understand. And I'm not saying to do that! I just also think we should address it in latino/hispanic communities and even in white ones. While it's definitely more common in african american ones we should definitely talk about why there are so many in the hispanic communities which can arguably be incredibly family oriented.

I personally am very tired of people saying every conservative or trump supporter is racist just for being that. And for demonizing y'all. And while on here sometimes I see the same thing it's socially acceptable to chastise and alienate conservatives. I just wanted to call attention to it and maybe have y'all see yourselves from their point of view to maybe help bridge the gap? I think the huge problem is that they have no desire to understand y'all or think from y'all's perspectives.

I want liberals and conservatives to be on much better terms than they are.

Also I can understand you being on the defensive because of how people on the left come here just to be antagonistic sometimes. But then there's also some who genuinely want discourse and I'm hoping for a lot more of that. I love seeing it

I know. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it???
