But the assault on black families that arose with slavery has always persisted in the African-American community. Men were conditioned not to stick around hence the 70% illegitimacy rate in the black community. This results in a culture of violence and deprivation.... and traces back to slavery.
Reparations may be an empty gesture and worthless quest if its impact has disappeared. Unfortunately, its impact is all very real.
