I assumed that systemic oppression had caused poverty which led to increased crime rates in black US populations.
But
@RCAFDM
wrote a fantastic piece I'm just now seeing in which they find this is not the case; it seems to be fatherlessness. 1/

I wonder if there's a big difference between slave descended and immigrants for fatherlessness I wonder if some of it is a product of slavery forcibly separating fathers

Part of the experience of the slave trade was a near-total erasure of the shared heritage and historical memories from the enslaved people's homelands (by design), so I'm not sure that comparisons to the culture of African peoples will be instructive here. Interesting topic tho

@BretWeinstein and@HeatherEHeying have talked about this a bit, could be that higher incarceration rates lead to men not having to commit to a family as much since there are a lot of available women in the population, less need to settle down with a family -
Right, but I'm a little unclear on original causation here; as in, why didn't this cycle happen to high crime white communities? I'm under the impression that there isn't significant enough racial bias in the justice system to be the full explanation.

I would guess that soft cultural/social factors which are hard to measure play a big role and that the best indirect statistical evidence one might get for that would be to look at crime, incarceration, poverty and education of the parent and esp. (grand-)grandparent generation

The Theory being: abuse, crime, poverty etc. (caused by systemic oppression) leave marks in the culture of the affected group (cheating) and its individuals which in turn still are visible generations (2-5) later and compound with hard factors to lead to higher crime rates.

Good questions. Welfare is not a bad idea--men can leave women and children to sew their seed without worrying whether they'll survive (and womem will be less worried about him leaving). Fearlessness has increased in whites over the same period. Why not as much? Not sure.

Bret Weinstein’s most recent Ep on Joe Rogan podcast speaks about this. His main suggestion is incarceration rates.

Probably didn't affect white people as much because at minimum education has always been better in white neighborhoods, and the more educated you are, the less likely you are to commit crimes.

Allow me to suggest reading Thomas Sowell's "Black Rednecks and White Liberals," which traces cultural roots and examines causality.
