They don’t always teach textbook history.
That’s your opinion. The problems are the result of the breakdown of the family. Over 70% of black children are born to unwed mothers, and I’m certain that number is much larger for those in the inner cities.
If you wait to have kids until you’re married and have them all with the same person, you might be a considered a conservative these days.

And that breakdown is due to???
Areas for self study:
Slavery
Post Civil War - 40 acres and a mule-Johnson
Jim Crow laws
Separate but (not) equal
GI Bill inequities
Post WW 2 housing projects
voter suppression
Yep! The me generation is just that compassionate. 
As opposed to the detailed knowledge of history and political philosophies that we had when we graduated HS?
This thread is about differences between liberals and conservatives, I think we might have found another clue “unrealistic image of the past vs. unrealistic hope for the future”.

I get it now. Liberals want us to confront Russia, build up NATO and cut the military by 30%.

That sounds good, but I have read that the family unit was stronger in the 1930s than it is today. When did slavery occur? When were Jim Crow laws instituted?
Please tell me who is forcing black women, many of whom are living in poverty, to have a child without a committed husband?
