Black Appraisals of Black Lives Matter: Part IV<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | October 31, 2020<\/p>\n

This multi-part series (Part I here<\/a>, Part II here<\/a>, Part III here<\/a>) focuses on the perspectives of blacks \u2014 conservative, liberal or libertarian \u2014 who appraise BLM and its agenda. The following selection of commentary by blacks from all walks of life \u2014 actors, athletes, business people, civil rights activists, clergy, commentators, physicians and politicians \u2014 demonstrates that black public opinion is not monolithic, and that BLM does not speak for all African Americans.<\/p>\n

Walter E. Williams<\/strong>, Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile no one can deny the existence of residual racial discrimination, racial discrimination is not the major problem confronting a large segment of the Black community.<\/p>\n

\u201cA major problem is that some public and private policies reward dependency and irresponsibility. Chief among these policies is the welfare state that has fostered a 75% rate of out-of-wedlock births and decimated the black family that had survived Jim Crow and racism.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep in mind that in 1940 the Black illegitimacy rate was 11% and most Black children were raised in two-parent families. Most poverty, about 25%, is found in female-headed households. The poverty rate among husband-and-wife Black families has been in the single digits for more than two decades.”<\/p>\n
