How The US Government Destroyed Black Families (Documentary)It’s no secret. Fatherless households are more common in the Black community. A survey from the American consensus institution revealed that 67% of Black children under 18 in the U.S. live in homes without fathers. This is a stark contrast to White children, as only 24% of them live in fatherless homes. But it wasn’t always like that. The black family survived generations of open racism, widespread poverty, and slavery. They lived through segregation and violence. And strong family bonds used to be the norm. Between 1890 and 1950, the marriage rate was much higher among black women than white women. A fraction of black children lived in homes without their fathers.But everything changed with the expansion of the welfare state. This is how the US government destroyed black families.

Stephen A. addresses the National Association of Black Journalists after receiving its “Thumbs Down” award and he has plenty to say.

In this special edition of *Straight Shooter*, Stephen A. responds directly to the NABJ board members behind the decision, challenges the accusation that he has “disparaged Black women,” and demands to see the facts supporting that claim.

He reflects on his decades-long relationship with the NABJ, from attending its job fair early in his career to bringing First Take to the organization’s convention, mentoring aspiring journalists, supporting Black professionals throughout the industry and continuing to create opportunities through his own media company.

Stephen A. also addresses his past commentary involving Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris and Serena Williams, arguing there is a major distinction between criticizing or questioning someone and disparaging them.

But the conversation goes even deeper.

Stephen A. argues that the controversy has become political, questions whether his willingness to criticize Democrats and liberals played a role in the decision, and explains why he believes the award amounted to a personal “smear job” rather than an objective journalistic critique.

Stephen A. makes one thing clear: he still supports the mission of the NABJ, its Sports Task Force and the aspiring Black journalists the organization serves.
