im not saying don't include the men but they are not the only one at fault...blame might not be the right word so im going to use acknowledge we have to acknowledge our part in the breakdown as well,

people did what they had to do.
if you were a black man during that time would you stay even if it meant your family had to be on the brink of starving and homelessness? (which im sure was not every black family's situation, but it is true for many) You would let your pride stand in the way of your hungry kids?

If you read what she said you would see that it wasn't really that incendiary .
She talked about the importance of extended families, same sex families.

She only conceded that at the height of the feminist movement the campaigners may have neglected family.

I don't see the problem with making connections there might be more to it but connections are interesting and lead to other interesting findings
Hell air conditioners are blamed for the demise of community and neighborhood.
And I can see the connection there too

I so agree with you here Jasmine. This is the main reason these topics get boring. Family means both parents. If there is a change in family structure it is up to the both of them to adapt and raise their offspring to the best of THEIR abilities.
