Black Creators Say Fatherlessness Not Drugs Is Primary Cause of Community Dysfunction

What was said

"To me, the biggest thing to me as a young man is the fatherless homes. A home without a father is the biggest problem. Men need fathers. Women can't raise young men. That's just a fact. You take the father out of the home and what do these young boys have to turn to?"

Multiple Black creators with advanced degrees and professional parents rejected the common narrative that the war on drugs destroyed Black communities, instead pointing to fatherlessness as the root cause. They noted that drugs were available to all communities but only devastated those without strong family structures, and that the breakdown began with Great Society programs incentivizing single motherhood.
