  9. there isn't a problem leading to the disintegration of black families that can't be attributed purely to human nature. the black family is just as perplexed, culturally, as any other family in America (and should be treated as any other problem in America, an American one). the air of lament should come from the fact that people want solutions for problems that have none. curb the population growth? that's a simple proposal. but no. that won't happen. so what is to be done? lament? lament what? it was never any better than it is now, in fact, it was very plainly worse. that is the argument...you are CORRECT that that's what he thinks people think, that their referring to the good ole' days in that sense, or is it in the sense of "the good ole' days" when people were young and ignorant and thought the world made sense. it never did -- not fully. but progress has slowly been made, especially for people of color, and they need to continue to do so, not wish for the past...the past is gone, and it was never really that great to begin with. and that IS sad. but that's not what the guy was a pointing to. he was saying that "it's sad that they felt better about the good ole' days because the family was connected, unlike now" but this is JUST NOT TRUE. the families were separated, children were sold off from their parents, and they were NOT happier -- they had the illusion of being happier. and black person can tell you, that hasn't been trying to make excuses for his or her life, that life is a hundred percent better now. this is the problem. the big guy is just saying that older black folk have their rose-colored glasses on, which isn't really an accurate representation of the world. anyone without said glasses can look at history, and look at their life now, and plainly see things are better now.
