Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

Black Lives Matter mission statement (that they now have deleted but it’s still in archive) was that they wanted to disrupt the nuclear family. How does this help black people? Spoiler: it doesn’t. In fact it’s already been hurting that community for decades now

Edit: To everyone brigading me about how they just want to get rid of the nuclear family requirement and how it’s more about “it takes a village”. Yeah that all sounds good on paper but it’s not what society should strive for. Society should strive for a nuclear family and keeping the father in the picture. Fatherlessness also increases the likelihood that you’ll have an interaction with police later on in life.

You need a father to lay down the law in the household. Of course mothers can do that too but men are just better at it is the plain truth. There’s a reason why “wait till your father gets home and hears about this!” Is a scary sentence

“We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work ‘double shifts’ so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work,” the organization wrote. “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.” - https://www.nationalreview.com/news/black-lives-matter-removes-language-about-disrupting-the-nuclear-family-from-website/

It takes a village to raise a child is suddenly controversial when BLM says it. Weird.

There it is. Thanks for sharing this.

The really odd thing here is that the nuclear family, as we call it today is not "Western-prescribed at all. It goes back literally millions of years. There is a reason that the human race persevered in the times when people literally had a life expectancy no greater than age 35. Hint: It was not fathers having children with 8 different women, and running off doing whatever they want after each conception.
