People are contorting themselves in all directions trying to take the man's words out of context and put their own spin on them.
He was talking about the importance of the nuclear family and how that has gone away in a large part, in the black community. As other have noted, it was other families as well, but not the point he was making here.
The man made a speech, and suddenly the left jumps out taking his words out of context. Then the sole consumes of the media repeat the headline lines and have to twist themselves in knots to justify having fallen for the race baiting headlines.
No idea why people are in such a rush to gaslight themselves ove a false narrative, then to tell everyone lese what the candidate "really" meant. Quite the pattern.
Not that you are doing all of this, just putting it all in one post.
ACtually, he was trying more to push the idea that black fmilies were conservative and voted that way back then. His problem is that he buried his lede. HE brought Jim Crow into the discussion...no one else did. He volunteered that information. So if he wants to discuss what worked during Jim Crow he invites the comparason to what didn't work. He wanted to paint a rosey picture of life befoe liberals screwed things up with the "Great Society" . Well, he did a lousy job of it because all he did was remind people how bad things really were back then
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
