Question: Why do so many black children have parents who abandon them/use drugs/abuse?

And typically you don't hear these problems associated with other races. I am not making this up. 70 % of black children are born without their fathers. http:/ / pajamasmedia.com/ blog/ obama- lay- off- black- fathers/ www.cnn.com/ 2007/ US/ 12/ 11/ roland.martin/

It's not race - it's culture. Many people from the Africa, the West Indies, and South America believe in voodoo and obeah, for example. These cultures have different values that allow them to do nasty things to children. Saving their children is one of the big reasons that people take to Christianity, and always have. If you have any sensitivity at all to children, you will want to give them a Christian upbringing. Christian black people, like Christians everywhere, don't do those things to children.

Cuz their parent childhood memories saying their parent abandon, same way they abandon their children , black parent are frustrate with no job , no food , no money , so they abuse their children , cause they have little to do with their life , that why they torture their children just like other pet or domestic animal . poverty and high crime reflect the society the black ghetto neighborhood they live in , influence change people , time change people

Honestly, not all black people do that. People just assume because most of the people that live in the rough places like Harlem are black. Maybe because they were once slaves and were always put down and still seem like that till this day, though not all are.I really don't have any other answer, but I hope that helped!

Lmao at "you don't hear these problems associated with other races ". I'd like to know what you've been smoking. If there tends to be greater instance of black parents doing this, it has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with social class. Disadvantaged people tend to have sex and bear offspring earlier.

Because when the slaves were freed they were basically forced to live together in the bad area that no white would want to live in. Those areas became Ghettos now. Police did not bother to go to those areas because white people either didnt care about blacks or they were afraid which is why they tried to control them. So crime rose and drugs became more and more present. Its hard to grow up and be a different person then where you came from, and your mom came from, and your mom's mom came from, etc. Most people would tel you that youre racist for asking this question but steryotypes are made steryotypes for a reason.- because they actually exist. And your question is true and does exist. Not every black person is like that though -But you would have to be stupid to not know that already.

And you don't hear about white babies born messed up because of meth, or heroine use. You have hard nothing of white children suffering at the hands of their parents at all? I know for damn sure, there are a heck of a lot of white kids in foster care. I really don't know who you are fooling when you say these things don't happen in other races, who in the heck is going to believe that but other racist people? I have a television, a radio, I read the paper, watch the news, browse the internet. Give me a break.

Black fathers abandon their kids a lot because we blacks have a higher percentage of illegitimacy and teen pregnancy.

You definitely need to get out more and see the real world..plenty of children with white parents fit this description.
