You supported an argument to be made, by me after you have proven you aren't sure about,
that was your statement and what you offer as evidence clearly refutes it.

According to Ricketts, this data helps us to see that the Moynihan Report was wrong to intimate that slavery made marriage worse among blacks. In fact, the “legacy of slavery,” according to the data, does not explain the obliteration of marriage that we’ve seen in the black community over the past 30 years. It is clear from the data, observes Ricketts, that 1950 is a watershed year for black families as black female-headed families grow rapidly in concert with blacks becoming more urbanized than whites. Between 1930 and 1950 the rates of black female-headed families, regardless of geographical environment, are parallel to the corresponding rates for whites.
Further, from the author:
We are then left with this question: What happened?
The author's conclusion:
"This is where the Moynihan report was right to point out the consequences of family breakdown because of welfare programs that introduced perverse incentives for men to remain committed to the families they created."
The black family, then, was delivered a devastating two-part blow during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. While black urbanization was on the rise, black men were being kept out of the jobs that could financially sustain families coupled with a greater call for more and more welfare programs to provide “assistance” to black women with dependent children. These programs, as we know, made matters worse and destroyed the potential for black urban families to flourish. What followed were generational cycles of dependence.
We can only imagine what the state of black America might be today if urban labor unions had not prevented blacks from participating in employment opportunities, and the federal government had not undermined the black family with LBJ’s “War on Poverty” programs. What are we to learn from this? One might simply conclude that social mobility is sabotaged by the twin torpedoes of social injustice and dependence on government “assistance.” The “legacy” that will be discussed in centuries to come is one defined by labor unions undermining economic opportunity, and politicians imposing uninformed social and economic visions that destroyed black progress after 1950.
You leftists are uniquely talented to produce
in the space of time beginning roughly in the 1950's.
Are you sure about those 100's of years?

You understand, 100's of years......
