61. I do blame ALL the recent presidents but I feel that Bill should be
to blame the most for the black community. IMHO what you stated is what has caused this high rate. Black families are hurting you guys. Some of us make it..Like myself who was raised by a single parent. But My father has died of aids. That aids prevention that some here want to talk about really didn't do its job because theres no reason for our community to be affected like it is now. Just because Bush is president doesn't mean that he's the cause of the high rate. There was a progression's. It started somewhere and IMHO the growing rate was ignored during the Clinton years. Black families are being destroyed by the high rate of men going to prison. How can black women be parents to little boys and keep them on the right track when these little boys see ballers & bling and their fathers, uncles etc going to prison. Then some think that getting an education is a white thing and not for them. Come on now people a lot of this mess started under the Clintons. They should have done more to preserve the black family. When black families fell apart that means its harder for the parents who are around to control/watchover their children. If you have to work 2-3 jobs to provide its damn hard to watch out for your kids and prevent them from pre-marital sex so that they wont have babies or contract aids.
