Hey rats, it's the family not the village.

Not only have the rats ruined education, weaponized the Fed against Conservatives, made us energy dependent on those that hope for our destruction, they also continue to destroy the family structure.

It isn't economics that are ruining our black children, it is the lack of family, two parent homes, responsible fathers. What rats have done to the black community is inhumane and cruel.

We’re well past the conflagrations that marked the “Summer of George Floyd” in 2020, when seemingly ever other day, street protests erupted into riots where innocent bystanders were beaten, stores were looted, and more than a few people lost their lives. But occasionally that kind of violence still breaks out in our streets, and often with little explanation. It’s impossible not to notice that the perpetrators are almost always young men, they are almost always black, and they almost always live in low-income neighborhoods.

Economics alone can’t explain the brazen lawlessness of these young people. When the average person finds he can’t make rent on the first of the month, he doesn’t gather his buddies together to go flip over a police cruiser. Something else is going on. In this clip from our most recent subscriber-only Q&A session, John is quite clear that he thinks a lack of jobs isn’t the main problem. It’s the C-word: culture. As he sees it—and I don’t think he’s wrong—absent fathers have a lot to do with the kind of culture where looting and random assault are regarded as sport. Without older men around to model responsible behavior—and with some of them modeling outright irresponsible behavior—ordinary frustration in younger men finds an extraordinary outlet.

This is why I find it maddening when progressives roll their eyes at those of us who stress the vital importance of stable, two-parent households. This isn’t prim Victorianism or a love of patriarchal dominance. When there are high concentrations of unstable families in a given area, a lack of order inside the home can reproduce itself on the streets and contribute to broader and more consequential social chaos. Of course, we do need to attend to broader economic factors if we’re going to stanch this kind of violent disorder. But I'm convinced that doing so without looking inward to the home won’t get us very far.

    The dominance where society dictates a man takes care of and protects his family. Only the left could make this an outdated norm.

    Sounds racist and bigoted

    Have some compassion
