'The proof that incarceration cannot be the culprit for the break up of the black family is that black incarceration rates didn’t take off until the 1980s. So what did happen?' conncarroll writes.
“In 2021, 47% of Black students in SFUSD that are high school juniors don’t even come close to meeting English-language proficiency," he writes."That’s 9% higher than the state average for Black 11th graders — which is also abysmal. That means for every one of two Black students leaving San Francisco high schools, they can’t read for their age.”Owens then correctly notes that people who can’t read have no chance of landing jobs that pay well enough to afford to live in the Bay Area.
First of all, how does American culture discourage multi-generational families? How does discouraging multi-generational families increase single-parent rates? And when did this discouraging of multi-generational families begin exactly? But Owens faces a timing problem when he tries to make incarceration the driving force behind the fall of the black family. Despite rampant racism and a lack of protections from the 1964 Civil Rights Act, marriage rates for young black men and women were similar to those of white men and women right up into the 1960s.
The proof that incarceration cannot be the culprit for the break up of the black family is that black incarceration rates didn’t take off until the 1980s.Well, in 1968, in a case called King v. Smith, the Supreme Court struck down so-called “man in the house” rules. These were admittedly racially enforced policies by states used to disqualify black mothers from the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program.
