Welfare as I later learned in life, was designed as temporary helping hand in a time of need. Welfare was never supposed to be something a family was supposed to live off of, for years or a lifetime. People abused public assistants and later pay for it, later on in life! When you could have a had a pension, retirement plan or large savings account. It goes back to the saying. Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, he will eat for life! Too many times we think giving people a hand out is helping them. A lot times we are making them dependent on a handout.🤔
@@Iknowyoumadnow it is a trap for those who want it to be a trap. You can get public assistance, save up, learn and move on! Those who choose to stay on welfare, section 8 and in public housing are comfortable, where they are at. Choose to stay in the invisible cage! Harriet Tubman said she could have saved hundreds if not thousands more slaves, if they were willing to leave. Staying on public assistance is a choice, not a permanent sentence. 🤔
Or, the system kept making to where people needed it. Jobs going away to fatten the bottom line and other cost cutting measures. The system has been exposed. The little has always gotten the short end of the stick and there are some who don't care if he starves.
That was true for your people! What about the Blacks that worked -& NEVER rec’d any compensation for their work? So you set in your “Ivory Tower”-& talk about the version you heard about! Common sense should tell you-if Blacks were considered as property & Sub-human-they were not going to get NOTHING!!!!( but crumbs)😮😢
The good news is that the single mother rate in the black community is actually decreasing. Like the video stated, 70% of black kids were raised by single mothers in the 90s, compared to 46% today. In 2020, Black people saw the largest drop in out of wedlock birth rates of any race.
Decreasing because the men are waking up and not nutting up in them. They are raising transformers who cannot reproduce with the same sex. It is just a matter of time that all that unhealthy living, eating & lifestyle would decrease birth rates.
The overall birth rate in the U.S. has dropped since the 90s. But the out of wedlock birthrate is still high. 46% isn't an accurate number. 75% of all the mothers that I know are and were never married so I have no clue where that statistic came from. It's probably more like 60%

During the 70's as a boy my family and I went to the drive in to watch "Claudine." The main character & her children were hiding appliances whenever the case worker visited. It was disturbing to view
What many people don't mention is why black people needed welfare in the first place. If a woman is willing to forego getting married just for a check from the government, then doesn't that signify desperation? Maybe if black people were able to get good jobs and were payed the same as whites back in the 60s when great society was passed, then the women would not have been this deperate for cash.
I'd say integration did more harm than welfare did. Before integration, black communities were self sufficient. Coming off the heels of slavery, men knew how to build a community and women knew how to sustain a community. We were all on the same page, generally.
@@kimmiet1980 Maybe in the inner cities, but not in the rural south. White people owned all of the businesses down here. I don't necessarily think that we should have forced people to integrate. I do however believe that a black person should have the opportunity to go to a white majority school, if they so choose.
Thank you! That’s what’s so annoying about these conversations. It’s always framed as “black women chose welfare over the black father” where black women literally had to chose between feeding her children and a spouse that can’t support a family. It’s like what did people want? For women to let their children starve?
@@dinkyboss There were plenty! And even a few economic enclaves over time would've grown. Instead, people were convinced to want "equality" in their system rather than building and sustaining our own.
This is a great subject, but we need to have an open an honest conversation, even if it hurts; so here it goes....I disagree, welfare DID NOT ruin the black family, we did that on our own. Even though the government said that the man could not be in the household, that didn't mean he had to leave, it was a choice. A lot of these men (not all) willingly left (they were not forced out) and never looked back. The black men could have fought for his family and said "I will not leave and we will not be taking any assistance, and I don't care if I have to work a million jobs to make sure we all remain together". Instead some took the easy way out and bounced. On the flip side some of the women (not all) got with someone else and had another child and then that man left also. Now the woman has multiple children with different fathers and none of them are in the home. In other words we caused this vicious cycle, based on our own decisions. Don't get me wrong, I do feel that the government is to blame for a lot of things, but in my opinion this isn't one of them.
I always think of the movie Claudine when I think of the black family and government assistance..it best illustrated how welfare affects families..and growing up just like the one in the film...its still one of my favorites...
@@BeingKyleBusch18 Claudine is a classic 70s black film with Diahann Carroll and James Earl Jones..a single mom raising 5 kids in Harlem on welfare..she meets Jones, a garbage man, fall in love, and must decide if they get married, she'd lose her benefits..

I think it wasn’t because they didn’t need a man it was because a man couldn’t live in the house if they got welfare. If the woman needed welfare to feed her children it was most likely because the man wasn’t providing. Just saying. A lot of men back then were Rolling Stones and had a wife at home but a lot of women on the side and probably weren’t sleeping at home half of the time anyway. I know because my grandfather was one. He was alcoholic and treated my grandmother like trash. He would even bring women in the yard and in front of her face in the 1960’s. He also had three alleged kids outside of their Marriage one was even my neighbor my entire childhood and I didn’t even know we was related. But than she worked most of her life and didn’t need welfare because her parents literally lived on the same land so they helped her raise my dad and my uncle.
That is such an insult to the black male...the statistic is on public record that there were more black male supported and headed MARRIED black families than whites before the 60s. Black men weren't dogs in heat making aimless babies. They loved their children and desired to father them. I have no problem with the condition that a black cannot be in the home when receiving government assistance. But the question is how did the qualifying of the black female to receive assistance automatically put the black man out of the house wholesale?...so many black men have been hurt, denied access to their children because she lied, turned her back on him to get those crumbs. I saw this with my own mother. I had a loving, hard working father who took care of us. My mother with her agenda to be the man and in control ran him off. I never saw stark poverty until she led the household. I am so thankful for strong black women like Kendra Davis, Sharazad Ali and Love Dorsey for speaking on this. All the welfare recipient black woman did was produce generations of gang bangers because she refused black father household leadership and to make her welfare checks bigger. That type of black woman has destroyed the black community and continues to. Thank God for welfare reform where her eligibility is only 5 freakin years.

Welfare was there to help in assistance while you get on your feet and better yourself. It didn't destroy black people. Once again we put the blame on everything else except us.
Black men can’t accept that bw went on welfare to support children they couldn’t. We can talk about the reasons black men couldn’t support a home but this narrative that bw chose welfare over black fathers is tired af
The welfare rule keeping the man out of the home only lasted only four years from 1983 to 1987! The only man who couldn't be in the home was a man not married or related to the mother or the children! The husband could be in the home as long as he could prove he was looking for work! The actual rule ended because a married black woman wanted her husband in the home while she received welfare assistance. She sued and took her case to the Supreme Court and won, ending the rule!
Well said. Welfare is meant to assist you while you get on your feet but some become lazy and lack vision and become content. Black Americans should be thankful that there's a system that tries to help you financially while you work on yourself. Sadly many relax and become lazy. Many African countries don't have Welfare and people hassle.
I bet if you look at the war on drugs ending the war on crime in 1969 and the mass incarceration rate with the increase of drugs in the community You will find a greater impact to the black community then the rules surrounding welfare. The Reagan administration and drugs have had a great relationship.

Thank you Comedy Hype! Let it be known that prior to the 1960's, black women were the most married demographic in the country. Now they're the least married demographic in the country. This was social engineering at its best. Along with the welfare program, here are a few more instances of social engineering that has led to what has become the contemporary BLK community... 1. The government funded crak epidemic in the 80's and 90's that destabilized our community even more. 2. The draconian laws that accompanied this government sponsored epidemic, which took even more black men out of the homes and neighborhoods thru incarceration. 3. Planned parenthood's assault on our numbers thru (abor- tion)... courtesy of Margaret Sanger the (eugeni- cist). 4. The ideological war on the nuclear family via BLM and the alphabet agenda. 5. Major corporations profiting off of our brokenness through the promotion and packaging of this (geno- cidal) drill and trap music. Basically, the liberal agenda. And all this time we thought they were fighting for us, when in actuality, they were fighting against us.
And that’s the hardest thing to forgive. The betrayal…..Yes, the black men have their problems but when you CHOSE the worst among us to procreate with. And then expect a family this is what you produce with the assistance of the Government. Feminism wasn’t to blame because black women watched white women being married and raising families. No…this was more of wanting to be HEAD BOSS, HEAD CHIEF….HEAD of HOUSEHOLD.
@@VonSly I think you may have missed the point. I'm not political gangbanging here. Nor am I trying to get votes for the conservative party. What I would like to see is our community abstaining from voting for candidates and policies that are detrimental to our own community for no other reason than we've been told that the other side is (ra- cist). That word is a dog whistle that those smarter than us have used to capitalize off our trauma, and emotionally whip us into voting for people and policies that are more harmful to our community than the ones the so-called (ra- cist) is putting forth. So are conservative policies in the political sphere better for our community... yes. In the social sphere... most definitely. Judge for yourself... which of the points did I make is supported by the conservative party, and which points did I make are championed by the liberal party.

Black women were happy to get their check and food stamps at the expense of not participating in the nuclear family. Black women had become dependent and content with the program as long as they could get their little check and food stamps and enough money to live in the projects. Sad.
It’s the same tactic a lot of western countries use in so-called developing countries. They give aid for poverty allegedly only if these countries agree to certain terms and conditions that benefit the western countries. The aid continues to keep the people in poverty in a state of dependency

Despite the title Welfare has helped countless people who don't always have the ability to "Pull themselves up by their Bootstraps" and let's not forget Welfare only became Stigmatized after Ronald Reagan & Republicans used The Term Welfare Queens to describe The Black Community.
This is true... There are more white people on welfare, than black people but white people put a black face on it, so white people can be on it, guilt free.
Well here in NYC it was stigmatized that the blacks and Latinos were the biggest community on welfare through out the 80's. But now come to find out, the Jewish community is the largest community on welfare since the 90's. And a lot of European come straight off the plane and apply for public assistance. So it has come full circle now.
@@crw3673 ur right, Charlie. BC the small hats need welfare so they can study the Bible all day. What nonsense...but nobody stigmatized them and their community for being on welfare to avoid work.
Read Cupcake Brown. It did not solve the problem. Her father was never a part of her life, mother died, he dropped her off at a relative and she was raped the same night. Mother was not on welfare. Father left because he wanted to. True story. The best parent for children is the one that wants to raise them. It happens to plenty of kids who are on foster care.
This also increases inflation. People who work they look at the priced and cutting back on portions. People who are too lazy to work just go ahead and stock there grocery cart to the top. If they decrease the wages then it will be more food left in the store.
I understand and appreciate all the historic context as it relates to this issue. That said, NONE of that matters now. The ONLY thing that has the chance for a material impact on the black American condition is marriage. Nothing else even comes close in short/near/long term impacts. If someone is talking about reparations, they’re unserious and lazy. If they’re talking about another ‘program”, they’re afraid to face the hard facts. Increasing the marriage rate and reducing the number of children born out of wedlock is the only thing that will make a difference.
Your crazy reparations will make a huge difference financially. That will get a lot of black people off of government assistance. You should study up on anthropology. If they gave reparations to black mother's who are willing to get married that would clean up the issues real fast.
The only time I got on Welfare is when I was laid off from my job I was collecting food stamps and unemployment until I had found work. Once I found work I hurry up and cut them off that was 5years ago. I just wanted make sure my 2boys had food and clothing. All I know that was the worst feeling 😭
I did the exact same thing. Had my son, went to school at night an worked during the day. Got on welfare until I finished school. Graduated in May and jot my 1st turning job in June. I called the welfare office to remove myself. They said no-one rarely does that and they thanked me for complying. They gave me free childcare and food stamps for a year...just for being honest.

The problem is welfare was designed as a temporary helping hand, not something to be used for the rest of your life. The sad thing is, many of these single parent kids grow up thinking this is the norm. Now when they become of age, the cycle repeats itself. This is how you have 2 or more generations, living in the same apartment for 30 plus years! Really sad.
That is not what happened, what you just stated is a stereotype that came to fruition because of this welfare system they created. The dismantling of the male figure in the household was a deliberate strategy used to perpetuate systemic racism and maintain white supremacy. By removing African American men from their families and communities, the welfare system contributed to the erosion of social and economic support systems and perpetuated cycles of poverty and oppression. They came to my grandmother‘s door, while my grandfather was out working during this time they were poor. They offered my grandmother $15 a month for welfare in the 40s but the kicker was that my grandfather couldn’t be in the household. So my grandfather had to go move in with other relatives and my grandmother was able to take care of her children. This was the way they dismantled the family, you can have this but the man of the house can’t be the man of the house. Because of this a lot of marriages were failing and there was a lot of infidelity. A lot of single mothers because the government offered the incentive, but they had to be single. All it takes is critical thinking, and having humility. Your statement is offputting and lacks any credible evidence. You are just perpetuating harmful stereotypes!

Willie Lynch theory has been exposed as a hoax. No white man gave that speech in 1712 like proclaimed. The words used are representative of the early 20th century.
… and yet we as Black people keep allowing it. Teddy Pendergrass’ “Wake Up Everybody” says “No more backward thinking… time for thinking ahead” and, yet, many are still stuck. We can get all the insight there is, but if it doesn’t change the mindset it’s useless.

Welfare was put in to play because of men leaving their families. There were still men in the projects and public housing when those welfare checks were passed out. Alot of them still chose to leave subsequently leave or got locked up for various crimes. Nobody got put out for a welfare check😂
I was a small child at the time,but I remember Vividly,how female friends and relatives would tell their children's fathers that they had to leave the house,in fear of them losing the checks .Alot of arguments and fights because of it. Some would try and work their way around this flawed system. Lots of the men would get disgusted and fed up with it all,and leave,never to return.
Sooo…based on this video: Black women chose short term money over their men and the wellbeing of their children. The black women made it harder on the average black man financially, which led to him committing crimes to pay child support. So black women are responsible for low marriage rates, high single parent rates, and high black crime rates? Well damn. 😳
I have the surefire way for a couple to avoid having to go on welfare. Don't have kids. Especially if you know that you and your partner are struggling to pay the utilities. Here's a harsh truth about our community: we will push pronatalism to our detriment. Too damn many of us will push each other to have children and say that the universe or a god will take care of what the parent can't do. So before we critique a government program, let's critique ourselves for having kids out of ignorance, out of selfishness and out of egotism.
Well what would all black men on welfare do? You do know that a large group of black men are on welfare when not in jail. Black women will be fine because they work more than black men. But black women need to stop birth black mens children.

Welfare didn’t “destroy the black family.” It might’ve incentivized female lead single parent homes, but it didn’t cause or lead to a major decrease in black marriages or out of wedlock birthrates. There’s no correlation in the statistics. Getting rid of those social programs probably wouldn’t solve those issues either. The truth is, things have gotten to the point where black folks just don’t value marriage and there’s no stigma to having kids of out of wedlock in the community anymore. Dysfunction is normalized, smh.
It started with government assistance. That’s the point. Everything that happens today is directly proportionate to legislation from the past. Everything that happens in America affects the black population on a larger scale. When government assistance programs go up, marriage rates go down. Years of that creates a culture of women feeling like they don’t need men. There were other factors that add to broken black families but assistance programs is 60% of the root cause.
@@iammattlucas No the root cause is people treating each other terribly. Because if we were conducting our households well and with love, we wouldn't have needed government involvement.
@@leeluv96 Like I said, other factors contributed to the way things are. Government assistance programs were suppose to help us but we misused the money once we got it.

You people create your own problems with your lazy degnerate nature!!! So much easier popping out countless kids you know you can't take care of and then have the government be your baby daddy.
the primary goal of the welfare system's door-to-door efforts in African American communities during the 1940s and 1950s was not to provide assistance, but rather to control and regulate the lives of low-income people, particularly African American women and their families. The welfare system's policies and practices during this time were often designed to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and reinforce systemic racism. The system's focus on "family structure" and "male responsibility" was often used to justify intrusive and coercive interventions in African American families, including the removal of children from their homes and the enforcement of strict moral and behavioral standards.
The title and conclusion are incorrect. It is not the assistance that caused the problem. It was the officials, their policies, biases, ignorance and the black communities missunderstanding and acceptance of these things that caused the problems. To state it's the benefits fault is equivalent to saying money is the cause of murder in hip hop. Please consider taking this down and make a revision.
Welfare should be used as a stepping stone. Not a lifestyle and definitely not a generational way of life. I disagree with 2,3 generations of women being on welfare.Specifically if the woman is healthy, they should be working.
Excuses. Excuses , Excuses!! This is why our race continues to struggle. Also, this is why we have introduced baby mother and baby daddies as a way of life. Broken families has lead to a rise in poverty in the black family.
After what the system did to us ! yes we needed assistance minus removing our men from our home .. the catch to government assistance was you only could get it ..if you was single.. they put the black family against the wall in choices help for you and your children or your husband /man .. they chose assistance.. men left out 😢broken 😞 homes ..
Well that says alot about the marriages because if the marriage was tight, that tiny bit of struggle money would not have been worth it at all. We have to look at the root of the problems not the surface.
To much birth control for people to keep having children that they can not afford. If you are on welfare why would you have a man that can't help your situation live with you. Self created poverty. Stop have children that you cannot afford. If you need food and and other government benefits you should not be having children. Black people ruined black families. Stop having kids that you can not afford. Food stamps and living in projects is suppose to be temporary until you get your self together. Stop bringing kids into this world in poverty. They are cutting back on affordable housing and Trump said something about giving people on welfare boxed food like they use to receive. People need to try to put themselves in a position were they can provide for them themselves. Food stamps and public housing was created for white people. White people live in public housing too, you see them with welfare cards also. There are MORE poor whites than blacks. For some reason black people like to advertise that they are poor and ignorant
I feel like its up to you to move up in the world and good parenting is vital , no matter what neighborhood you live in. I feel like some majority of races get complacent , start having kids from different people, end up collecting easy money. the kids end up becoming criminals at a hi rate because they choose that life. Never blame anyone but yourself for the life you choose.
I would say the overt war on black families from the Woodrow Wilson program, which corresponds with this time is a bigger issue. The number of race-related violence that destroyed black wealth, city planning (re-lining, highway infrastructure, neighborhood capture), and mass migration (great migration and debt peonage). The rules were likely created to ensure more disruption of middle to low-income families, but not AA specifically. They would rather us not receive anything. Some people have been trying to get rid of any assistance in America since the New deal, which includes Welfare.
Black people treat eachother worse than the government nowadays. The men need to get it together. All they have to do is stop making babies that they don't want to take care of. You can't wait till you've already made the kid.
Welfare rules applied to all poor families of all shades ... the uncomfortable question must be asked ... why did it damage (destroy the family) far more to us than any other race ?
@drwalka10 because welfare is not something America wanted to provide. If not for Eleanor Roosevelt we would not have been apart of the benefits. That's why they modified rules so people could not access them. Their primary issue is they were not robust enough to allow for people to logically transition from them in areas without economic opportunities.
Slaver ruined the black family. Never got repartition to repair our selfs . We were made to behind and it will take a centuries for us as a whole to catch up . Some families have
Over 70% slavers were jews, 3% were black, and less then 1% were white. Jews owned the transatlantic slave trade, and jews bought blacks from other black slave owners in Africa. The word slave comes from the word "slav" as in the Slavic ppls, who are WHITE. Slavery of ppl of the same race has been common all thru historicity, as different regions were made up almost entirely of separate races, and they weren't easily able to travel freely to enslave other Nation's ppls. All peoples have been ensalved.
My grandfather born in 1910 and my father born in 1935 both ran there on businesses with 8 grade educations. My family have never been on public assistance all my siblings have colleges. I have a master degree and have served in the military for twenty two years. My point is its all about the person. Stop blaming the white man and the system. Blame yourself.
This came from the the Democratic party. I remember growing up in Birmingham ,AL and how we were taught that democrats cared about us and that black people should always vote blue. I literally WOKE UP when I turned 21 and told my mom that it seems like they want generational welfare. I didn't grow up on the system myself but was still poor. My family gave me a strong work ethic. I'm not saying just vote Republican either because one is really no better than the other. Vote for what is best for YOU.
@@chasitystoudermire1126 That's the problem. Many black people believe it is better to get handouts from the govt, rather than going after it themselves. Then complain they have no power. How can you literally be a beggar and expect to have power in society? If a black person believes that welfare and the welfare mindset is damaging to black people, then there's no way to justify voting democrat.

@@chasitystoudermire1126 It's socialism. That's all. There are two types of people in this world. People who think they have a right to force others to do what they want, and people who want to be left alone. A vote for Dems is a vote for others to control your life. Control freaks know the best way to remain in control is for others to be dependent on you. As long as black people view govt help as a good thing, black people will be left angry and frustrated by their lot in life. We need independence and freedom to achieve, not Welfare. Unless we want to still remain slaves.
Welfare/government assistance has actually helped and hurt not just black families many families in general has the system been abused and continues to be abused yes of cons but that was one of the cons of laying out was it perfect in the beginning hell no it wasn't full of racist and shameful views obviously But today it is leaps and bounds not even close to what it was in the beginning.
I want you to remember something even if you remember nothing. There's never been a time in American history when America was facing a crisis and African Americans were among the first to benefit. I'm going to say it again There's never been a time in American history was facing a crisis and African Americans were among the first to benefit.

PBS showed this in the 90s. They've shown how black preachers in the Carolinas got bw to take birth control pills and sterilized em. Etc etc
Welfare as I later learned in life, was designed as temporary helping hand in a time of need. Welfare was never supposed to be something a family was supposed to live off of, for years or a lifetime. People abused public assistants and later pay for it, later on in life! When you could have a had a pension, retirement plan or large savings account. It goes back to the saying. Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, he will eat for life! Too many times we think giving people a hand out is helping them. A lot times we are making them dependent on a handout.🤔
Duh foo, it's called a poverty trap 🪤
@@Iknowyoumadnow it is a trap for those who want it to be a trap. You can get public assistance, save up, learn and move on! Those who choose to stay on welfare, section 8 and in public housing are comfortable, where they are at. Choose to stay in the invisible cage! Harriet Tubman said she could have saved hundreds if not thousands more slaves, if they were willing to leave. Staying on public assistance is a choice, not a permanent sentence. 🤔
Or, the system kept making to where people needed it. Jobs going away to fatten the bottom line and other cost cutting measures. The system has been exposed. The little has always gotten the short end of the stick and there are some who don't care if he starves.
Absolutely true! Those welfare queens!
That was true for your people! What about the Blacks that worked -& NEVER rec’d any compensation for their work? So you set in your “Ivory Tower”-& talk about the version you heard about! Common sense should tell you-if Blacks were considered as property & Sub-human-they were not going to get NOTHING!!!!( but crumbs)😮😢
This was highly informative to so many people who come across this. THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING PEOPLE!💝💯
The good news is that the single mother rate in the black community is actually decreasing. Like the video stated, 70% of black kids were raised by single mothers in the 90s, compared to 46% today. In 2020, Black people saw the largest drop in out of wedlock birth rates of any race.
Decreasing because the men are waking up and not nutting up in them.
They are raising transformers who cannot reproduce with the same sex.
It is just a matter of time that all that unhealthy living, eating & lifestyle would decrease birth rates.
It’s decreasing because black women are having less kids. A lot more women in general are having less kids due to better education.
@@dinkyboss good, you should be a bit more educated, either academically or common sense, so your kids can have their best chance
It’s decreasing because of abortion.
The overall birth rate in the U.S. has dropped since the 90s. But the out of wedlock birthrate is still high. 46% isn't an accurate number. 75% of all the mothers that I know are and were never married so I have no clue where that statistic came from. It's probably more like 60%
Clicked so fast!! Now Comedy Hype is one of the few TH-cam channels unafraid to talk about controversial topics while doing their research. You all don't pretend to have all the answers but is getting people that watch your channel to think.
True. Didn’t expect to see them do a video on this topic
During the 70's as a boy my family and I went to the drive in to watch "Claudine." The main character & her children were hiding appliances whenever the case worker visited. It was disturbing to view
I saw it too and it changed me and the way I saw things. The power of the government over black people's lives and futures.
What many people don't mention is why black people needed welfare in the first place. If a woman is willing to forego getting married just for a check from the government, then doesn't that signify desperation? Maybe if black people were able to get good jobs and were payed the same as whites back in the 60s when great society was passed, then the women would not have been this deperate for cash.
I'd say integration did more harm than welfare did. Before integration, black communities were self sufficient. Coming off the heels of slavery, men knew how to build a community and women knew how to sustain a community. We were all on the same page, generally.
@@kimmiet1980 Maybe in the inner cities, but not in the rural south. White people owned all of the businesses down here. I don't necessarily think that we should have forced people to integrate. I do however believe that a black person should have the opportunity to go to a white majority school, if they so choose.
@@kimmiet1980 that’s bs. There were a few successful towns but most black folks were still struggling
Thank you! That’s what’s so annoying about these conversations. It’s always framed as “black women chose welfare over the black father” where black women literally had to chose between feeding her children and a spouse that can’t support a family. It’s like what did people want? For women to let their children starve?
@@dinkyboss There were plenty! And even a few economic enclaves over time would've grown. Instead, people were convinced to want "equality" in their system rather than building and sustaining our own.
This is a great subject, but we need to have an open an honest conversation, even if it hurts; so here it goes....I disagree, welfare DID NOT ruin the black family, we did that on our own. Even though the government said that the man could not be in the household, that didn't mean he had to leave, it was a choice. A lot of these men (not all) willingly left (they were not forced out) and never looked back. The black men could have fought for his family and said "I will not leave and we will not be taking any assistance, and I don't care if I have to work a million jobs to make sure we all remain together". Instead some took the easy way out and bounced. On the flip side some of the women (not all) got with someone else and had another child and then that man left also. Now the woman has multiple children with different fathers and none of them are in the home. In other words we caused this vicious cycle, based on our own decisions. Don't get me wrong, I do feel that the government is to blame for a lot of things, but in my opinion this isn't one of them.
True. Whe southern black people went up north they were ostracized for being a close family unit.
Not totally true. Men weren't leaving. That's a lie that was created
So in both cases the woman picked the wrong man to procreate with.
@@dman221 and they still are PURPOSELY picking the wrong men
Exactly. There are several videos by Cynthia G about this

Welfare and Public Housing gave Women a False Sense of Accomplishment and it made them feel as if they didn’t “need a Man”…
I think it wasn’t because they didn’t need a man it was because a man couldn’t live in the house if they got welfare. If the woman needed welfare to feed her children it was most likely because the man wasn’t providing. Just saying. A lot of men back then were Rolling Stones and had a wife at home but a lot of women on the side and probably weren’t sleeping at home half of the time anyway. I know because my grandfather was one. He was alcoholic and treated my grandmother like trash. He would even bring women in the yard and in front of her face in the 1960’s. He also had three alleged kids outside of their Marriage one was even my neighbor my entire childhood and I didn’t even know we was related. But than she worked most of her life and didn’t need welfare because her parents literally lived on the same land so they helped her raise my dad and my uncle.
That is such an insult to the black male...the statistic is on public record that there were more black male supported and headed MARRIED black families than whites before the 60s. Black men weren't dogs in heat making aimless babies. They loved their children and desired to father them. I have no problem with the condition that a black cannot be in the home when receiving government assistance. But the question is how did the qualifying of the black female to receive assistance automatically put the black man out of the house wholesale?...so many black men have been hurt, denied access to their children because she lied, turned her back on him to get those crumbs. I saw this with my own mother. I had a loving, hard working father who took care of us. My mother with her agenda to be the man and in control ran him off. I never saw stark poverty until she led the household. I am so thankful for strong black women like Kendra Davis, Sharazad Ali and Love Dorsey for speaking on this. All the welfare recipient black woman did was produce generations of gang bangers because she refused black father household leadership and to make her welfare checks bigger. That type of black woman has destroyed the black community and continues to. Thank God for welfare reform where her eligibility is only 5 freakin years.

Thank You.
It's lack of rehabilitation while on welfare.
Black men can’t accept that bw went on welfare to support children they couldn’t. We can talk about the reasons black men couldn’t support a home but this narrative that bw chose welfare over black fathers is tired af
If we stop killing ourselves selling drugs to our own then maybe things can change
The welfare rule keeping the man out of the home only lasted only four years from 1983 to 1987! The only man who couldn't be in the home was a man not married or related to the mother or the children! The husband could be in the home as long as he could prove he was looking for work! The actual rule ended because a married black woman wanted her husband in the home while she received welfare assistance. She sued and took her case to the Supreme Court and won, ending the rule!
Well said. Welfare is meant to assist you while you get on your feet but some become lazy and lack vision and become content. Black Americans should be thankful that there's a system that tries to help you financially while you work on yourself. Sadly many relax and become lazy. Many African countries don't have Welfare and people hassle.
Welfare became farewell to Black families !
I bet if you look at the war on drugs ending the war on crime in 1969 and the mass incarceration rate with the increase of drugs in the community You will find a greater impact to the black community then the rules surrounding welfare. The Reagan administration and drugs have had a great relationship.

And when the presenter (like this young sista) or narrator has the ability to correctly pronounce all of the words written in the script, unlike before.
Thank you Comedy Hype! Let it be known that prior to the 1960's, black women were the most married demographic in the country. Now they're the least married demographic in the country. This was social engineering at its best.
Along with the welfare program, here are a few more instances of social engineering that has led to what has become the contemporary BLK community...
1. The government funded crak epidemic in the 80's and 90's that destabilized our community even more.
2. The draconian laws that accompanied this government sponsored epidemic, which took even more black men out of the homes and neighborhoods thru incarceration.
3. Planned parenthood's assault on our numbers thru (abor- tion)... courtesy of Margaret Sanger the (eugeni- cist).
4. The ideological war on the nuclear family via BLM and the alphabet agenda.
5. Major corporations profiting off of our brokenness through the promotion and packaging of this (geno- cidal) drill and trap music.
Basically, the liberal agenda. And all this time we thought they were fighting for us, when in actuality, they were fighting against us.
Do you believe the conservative agenda is better
And that’s the hardest thing to forgive. The betrayal…..Yes, the black men have their problems but when you CHOSE the worst among us to procreate with. And then expect a family this is what you produce with the assistance of the Government. Feminism wasn’t to blame because black women watched white women being married and raising families. No…this was more of wanting to be HEAD BOSS, HEAD CHIEF….HEAD of HOUSEHOLD.

That word is a dog whistle that those smarter than us have used to capitalize off our trauma, and emotionally whip us into voting for people and policies that are more harmful to our community than the ones the so-called (ra- cist) is putting forth.

Just give fathers equal custody and access to welfare that women have, problem solved.
Read Cupcake Brown. It did not solve the problem. Her father was never a part of her life, mother died, he dropped her off at a relative and she was raped the same night. Mother was not on welfare. Father left because he wanted to. True story. The best parent for children is the one that wants to raise them. It happens to plenty of kids who are on foster care.

This also increases inflation. People who work they look at the priced and cutting back on portions. People who are too lazy to work just go ahead and stock there grocery cart to the top. If they decrease the wages then it will be more food left in the store.
I understand and appreciate all the historic context as it relates to this issue. That said, NONE of that matters now. The ONLY thing that has the chance for a material impact on the black American condition is marriage. Nothing else even comes close in short/near/long term impacts. If someone is talking about reparations, they’re unserious and lazy. If they’re talking about another ‘program”, they’re afraid to face the hard facts. Increasing the marriage rate and reducing the number of children born out of wedlock is the only thing that will make a difference.
This right here^^^^^^^ is the most accurate statement
No they need reparations. you hate blacks just say it.
Your acting as if blacks never experienced slavery.
Your crazy reparations will make a huge difference financially. That will get a lot of black people off of government assistance.
You should study up on anthropology.
If they gave reparations to black mother's who are willing to get married that would clean up the issues real fast.
The only time I got on Welfare is when I was laid off from my job I was collecting food stamps and unemployment until I had found work.

Both knew that was the best way to keep welfare. To look poor and desperate on paper, but be fully able to be self sufficient.
Welfare did ruin black families.
That is not what happened, what you just stated is a stereotype that came to fruition because of this welfare system they created.
The dismantling of the male figure in the household was a deliberate strategy used to perpetuate systemic racism and maintain white supremacy. By removing African American men from their families and communities, the welfare system contributed to the erosion of social and economic support systems and perpetuated cycles of poverty and oppression.
They came to my grandmother‘s door, while my grandfather was out working during this time they were poor. They offered my grandmother $15 a month for welfare in the 40s but the kicker was that my grandfather couldn’t be in the household. So my grandfather had to go move in with other relatives and my grandmother was able to take care of her children. This was the way they dismantled the family, you can have this but the man of the house can’t be the man of the house. Because of this a lot of marriages were failing and there was a lot of infidelity. A lot of single mothers because the government offered the incentive, but they had to be single.
All it takes is critical thinking, and having humility. Your statement is offputting and lacks any credible evidence. You are just perpetuating harmful stereotypes!

Yeah because black men couldn’t support a household. Someone had to feed the kids. And a black man with no money is just another mouth to feed.
But we still need to hold the men that left accountable
This all stems from your upbringing and oneself worth. If you think collecting a little free check, is more important than going out and earning your own money. Shame on you! You are only hurting yourself in the long run!
Black men were already leaving their family's in record numbers. Hence the reason welfare was even needed. Come on....
@@mojadah10 negative! The black family was strong up until the mid to late 60's. Then in the 70's with drugs flooding into our community, it all went to shit!
Thanks for this info. No wonder it has less views. Truth is always silenced. Salute CH.
Welfare rules applied to all poor families of all shades ... the uncomfortable question must be asked ... why did it damage (destroy the family) far more to us than any other race ?
@@drwalka10 Those that set it up targeted certain ppl. When u don’t have opportunity and restricted on so many levels, former slaves… what do you expect? Give them something “free” call it help, with hidden agender. Watch how things crumble.
My sister was on welfare for 2 children while one of the kids father was in their life working, my sister got so f ing comfortable that it ruined her relationship with one of her daughters and her baby father becuz her daughter and boyfriend have Ambition to go out an work both, wasn't happy how my sister was just sitting around house waiting for a check every month and now my sister is having a hard time keeping a roof, food ,light on...the other sister is comfortable sitting around.....I will say use the system so it can help to get back on your feet don't make it a lifestyle and ladies get that nonsense out of your head saying I'm independent, independent put on stress, health issues etc, blessings to all
How much was your brother earning?
one was working what was the other one doing?
@@ashasun6620 sitting around get big, didn't want to work
@@silvercat6425 If he was making enough she wouldn't have messed welfare. y'all BM need to take accountability for failing
The father baby wasn’t making enough? Why did she need welfare if he was making money?
Couldn't have a substitute father in the home, which means no free-loading men, or boyfriends.
Where were the actual father's of the children???
Welfare and crime
Because it incentivies single motherhood by not allowing men in the home and taking away the fathers importance in the home
WHO WAS KNOCKING UP ALL OF THESE WOMEN
That man who jus walks the block all day gets all the women
Just to wrap this up in a ugly package, their playbook came out of the Willie Lynch papers..... the how to destroy the black family and cause the vision between the black man and his black woman.
Willie Lynch theory has been exposed as a hoax. No white man gave that speech in 1712 like proclaimed. The words used are representative of the early 20th century.
… and yet we as Black people keep allowing it. Teddy Pendergrass’ “Wake Up Everybody” says “No more backward thinking… time for thinking ahead” and, yet, many are still stuck. We can get all the insight there is, but if it doesn’t change the mindset it’s useless.

Welfare more then working . Net 70,000 year . Come on New York who going to work
welfare is not the problem. other communites do not abuse welfare like ours do. we should ask why are our women willing to do these criminal acts while other women don't.
Now it’s 10 percent of GDP social security is 8.
Social Security is paid into by workers and employers for decades. It’s not like food stamps at all.

This is the most informative video on this issue I've ever seen. I know the focus of the video is the welfare system, but has anyone factored in the anti-man femenist movement of the 70s?
The whole thing seems to have culminated the trope 'I don't need no man'
Welfare was not created to help us at all check history
Kevin Samuels pointed this out and held women accountable for this fact and he was wrong even though he was right.
His honesty was brutal..but true! People need to be real about things & stop getting offended when someone is brutally honest about things. I love straight foward folk.
He was wrong he was just giving you one side of a very jaded and a very narrow narrative view

How was this even possible when Elijah Muhammad was on the scene?
Back then, he was telling melanated people to get away from Caucasians and become self sufficient in their own communities.
I mean…it’s been done. There were plenty of thriving melanated communities like Negro Wall Street and Wilmington, NC.
Was just talking about situations like this days ago
Welfare was put in to play because of men leaving their families. There were still men in the projects and public housing when those welfare checks were passed out. Alot of them still chose to leave subsequently leave or got locked up for various crimes. Nobody got put out for a welfare check😂
Bych that's a lie because the women were leaving the men
I was a small child at the time,but I remember Vividly,how female friends and relatives would tell their children's fathers that they had to leave the house,in fear of them losing the checks .Alot of arguments and fights because of it. Some would try and work their way around this flawed system. Lots of the men would get disgusted and fed up with it all,and leave,never to return.
You don't know what you're saying. Many,many men got Put Out for them checks.
@@vanessapete1091 Your tryna get scooby snacks from dusties. You dont know what your talking about.
@@chellejohnson8880 This ISN'T about ME.I wasn't the one on Welfare. I'M just saying what I witnessed from Older relatives.Aunties ,Cousins,etc.
5:00 - 5:07 and that right there is the EXACT reason that destroyed the black family and STILL carries true to today.
Sooo…based on this video: Black women chose short term money over their men and the wellbeing of their children. The black women made it harder on the average black man financially, which led to him committing crimes to pay child support.
So black women are responsible for low marriage rates, high single parent rates, and high black crime rates? Well damn. 😳
I have the surefire way for a couple to avoid having to go on welfare. Don't have kids. Especially if you know that you and your partner are struggling to pay the utilities. Here's a harsh truth about our community: we will push pronatalism to our detriment. Too damn many of us will push each other to have children and say that the universe or a god will take care of what the parent can't do. So before we critique a government program, let's critique ourselves for having kids out of ignorance, out of selfishness and out of egotism.
What if Welfare was stopped
Tomorrow! what would black women do?.
Well what would all black men on welfare do?
You do know that a large group of black men are on welfare when not in jail.
Black women will be fine because they work more than black men. But black women need to stop birth black mens children.
Remain more employed than black men and continue to close the gender wage gap.

Welfare didn’t “destroy the black family.”
It might’ve incentivized female lead single parent homes, but it didn’t cause or lead to a major decrease in black marriages or out of wedlock birthrates. There’s no correlation in the statistics.
Getting rid of those social programs probably wouldn’t solve those issues either.
The truth is, things have gotten to the point where black folks just don’t value marriage and there’s no stigma to having kids of out of wedlock in the community anymore. Dysfunction is normalized, smh.
THIS!!!
It started with government assistance. That’s the point. Everything that happens today is directly proportionate to legislation from the past. Everything that happens in America affects the black population on a larger scale. When government assistance programs go up, marriage rates go down. Years of that creates a culture of women feeling like they don’t need men. There were other factors that add to broken black families but assistance programs is 60% of the root cause.
@@iammattlucas No the root cause is people treating each other terribly. Because if we were conducting our households well and with love, we wouldn't have needed government involvement.
@@leeluv96 Like I said, other factors contributed to the way things are. Government assistance programs were suppose to help us but we misused the money once we got it.
@@iammattlucas well you said, it started with the foundation of the programs. But I wouldn't say that the funds were misused. Because if they were, people would have been removed from the program already. I would say that both sides, government and resources recipients, have pushed the program beyond the limits and have gotten away from the goal of getting off the program.
Yes and no but it was not black family it was the family in general Aaron Russo pointed this out years ago.
Claudine the movie! with James Earl
Jones and Diane Carroll!.
She didn't say anything?! She didn't mention that "man in the house" rule was for all races not just black and that it was only in place for 4 years.. and why not mention why aren't the men bringing in enough money or stayed long enough to make a difference. Also "kicked" is such a victim thing to say...yall do know nobody came around and "kicked" anything...the women were poor even on welfare but they couldn't just have nothing...yall blame anything on the wm 🤦🏿♀️
You people create your own problems with your lazy degnerate nature!!! So much easier popping out countless kids you know you can't take care of and then have the government be your baby daddy.
the primary goal of the welfare system's door-to-door efforts in African American communities during the 1940s and 1950s was not to provide assistance, but rather to control and regulate the lives of low-income people, particularly African American women and their families.
The welfare system's policies and practices during this time were often designed to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and reinforce systemic racism. The system's focus on "family structure" and "male responsibility" was often used to justify intrusive and coercive interventions in African American families, including the removal of children from their homes and the enforcement of strict moral and behavioral standards.
The title and conclusion are incorrect. It is not the assistance that caused the problem. It was the officials, their policies, biases, ignorance and the black communities missunderstanding and acceptance of these things that caused the problems. To state it's the benefits fault is equivalent to saying money is the cause of murder in hip hop. Please consider taking this down and make a revision.
Welfare should be used as a stepping stone. Not a lifestyle and definitely not a generational way of life. I disagree with 2,3 generations of women being on welfare.Specifically if the woman is healthy, they should be working.
Excuses. Excuses , Excuses!! This is why our race continues to struggle. Also, this is why we have introduced baby mother and baby daddies as a way of life. Broken families has lead to a rise in poverty in the black family.
After what the system did to us ! yes we needed assistance minus removing our men from our home .. the catch to government assistance was you only could get it ..if you was single.. they put the black family against the wall in choices help for you and your children or your husband /man .. they chose assistance.. men left out 😢broken 😞 homes ..
Well that says alot about the marriages because if the marriage was tight, that tiny bit of struggle money would not have been worth it at all. We have to look at the root of the problems not the surface.
To much birth control for people to keep having children that they can not afford. If you are on welfare why would you have a man that can't help your situation live with you. Self created poverty. Stop have children that you cannot afford. If you need food and and other government benefits you should not be having children. Black people ruined black families. Stop having kids that you can not afford. Food stamps and living in projects is suppose to be temporary until you get your self together. Stop bringing kids into this world in poverty. They are cutting back on affordable housing and Trump said something about giving people on welfare boxed food like they use to receive. People need to try to put themselves in a position were they can provide for them themselves. Food stamps and public housing was created for white people. White people live in public housing too, you see them with welfare cards also. There are MORE poor whites than blacks. For some reason black people like to advertise that they are poor and ignorant
I feel like its up to you to move up in the world and good parenting is vital , no matter what neighborhood you live in. I feel like some majority of races get complacent , start having kids from different people, end up collecting easy money. the kids end up becoming criminals at a hi rate because they choose that life. Never blame anyone but yourself for the life you choose.
I would say the overt war on black families from the Woodrow Wilson program, which corresponds with this time is a bigger issue. The number of race-related violence that destroyed black wealth, city planning (re-lining, highway infrastructure, neighborhood capture), and mass migration (great migration and debt peonage). The rules were likely created to ensure more disruption of middle to low-income families, but not AA specifically. They would rather us not receive anything. Some people have been trying to get rid of any assistance in America since the New deal, which includes Welfare.
Black people treat eachother worse than the government nowadays. The men need to get it together. All they have to do is stop making babies that they don't want to take care of. You can't wait till you've already made the kid.
Welfare rules applied to all poor families of all shades ... the uncomfortable question must be asked ... why did it damage (destroy the family) far more to us than any other race ?
@drwalka10 because welfare is not something America wanted to provide. If not for Eleanor Roosevelt we would not have been apart of the benefits. That's why they modified rules so people could not access them. Their primary issue is they were not robust enough to allow for people to logically transition from them in areas without economic opportunities.
Slaver ruined the black family. Never got repartition to repair our selfs . We were made to behind and it will take a centuries for us as a whole to catch up . Some families have
Over 70% slavers were jews, 3% were black, and less then 1% were white. Jews owned the transatlantic slave trade, and jews bought blacks from other black slave owners in Africa. The word slave comes from the word "slav" as in the Slavic ppls, who are WHITE. Slavery of ppl of the same race has been common all thru historicity, as different regions were made up almost entirely of separate races, and they weren't easily able to travel freely to enslave other Nation's ppls. All peoples have been ensalved.
My grandfather born in 1910 and my father born in 1935 both ran there on businesses with 8 grade educations. My family have never been on public assistance all my siblings have colleges. I have a master degree and have served in the military for twenty two years. My point is its all about the person. Stop blaming the white man and the system. Blame yourself.
This came from the the Democratic party. I remember growing up in Birmingham ,AL and how we were taught that democrats cared about us and that black people should always vote blue. I literally WOKE UP when I turned 21 and told my mom that it seems like they want generational welfare. I didn't grow up on the system myself but was still poor. My family gave me a strong work ethic. I'm not saying just vote Republican either because one is really no better than the other. Vote for what is best for YOU.
Yes, the republican vote is better, and supporting the right ideals can actually improve the republican party.
@@candorsspot2775 Neither one is better. Just vote for what is best for you and you alone
@@chasitystoudermire1126 That's the problem. Many black people believe it is better to get handouts from the govt, rather than going after it themselves. Then complain they have no power. How can you literally be a beggar and expect to have power in society?
If a black person believes that welfare and the welfare mindset is damaging to black people, then there's no way to justify voting democrat.
@@candorsspot2775 You're right to an extent because this was by design. It's a totally different story growing up and all you have is ignorance in the household with no guidance and only dangerous opportunities. It's way deeper than you think. More are starting to be made aware about things like this and they dismiss them by calling it the "Woke" agenda.
@@chasitystoudermire1126 It's socialism. That's all. There are two types of people in this world. People who think they have a right to force others to do what they want, and people who want to be left alone.
A vote for Dems is a vote for others to control your life. Control freaks know the best way to remain in control is for others to be dependent on you. As long as black people view govt help as a good thing, black people will be left angry and frustrated by their lot in life. We need independence and freedom to achieve, not Welfare. Unless we want to still remain slaves.
Blsck women will fight to the death for their EBT.

Been saying this for years
Black men are always victims.
It's a Western phenomenon, not uniquely American. The exact same situation is manifestly evident in the UK🤯🤯🤯
Welfare/government assistance has actually helped and hurt not just black families many families in general has the system been abused and continues to be abused yes of cons but that was one of the cons of laying out was it perfect in the beginning hell no it wasn't full of racist and shameful views obviously But today it is leaps and bounds not even close to what it was in the beginning.
Would rather offer welfare than pay reparations 🙄

Ah...I see. Looking forward to your report on Gangsta Rap and C. DELORES TUCKER because Black families were *thriving* in the 90s. 💅🏿
They were also thriving in the 80s.
It was used to separate us. Black men weren't useful unless they were slaves ,but they weren't many(#) we all have to survive. Some black women thought of it as reparations. Don't forget GENERAL ASSISTANCE, which many men applied for and lived off it.
If "welfare hurts black families," then why didn't they excel when Regean was in office in the 80s his cuts to social security surley would have at least helped?
That still doesn't mean that welfare did not hurt black families. And we still have welfare. It was not cut.
The late Patrick MOYNIHAN WAS 💯 right!
