Elder is definitely a coon.
However, his points about the destruction of the Black family attributed to the lack of Black fathers in the home are very valid.
Elite capture. Fatherlessness is a repugnant talking point. The destabilization of the family is real, but it is not due to the lack of fathers. This is more of an underhanded attack on black men. The analogy is the welfare queen attack on Black women.
After the voting rights law past in '64, the black vote had the potential to dictate electoral politics (b/c the white vote was split between dixiecrat & repugnant). The white nationalist solution was to subvert & undemine black political power. One way of doing this was to sabotage the black community, at the heart of which is the family.
Others things done to weaken black political power:
1. Attack public education
2. Redlining
3. Gerrymandering
4. Attack Social welfare
5. Voter suppression measures
6. War on Drugs/mass incarceration/New Jim Crow...it wasn't enough to criminalize the Black movement, they would go on to criminalize the people themselves.
7. Make coonage a profitable career
8. affirmative action/anti-affirmation action...an inadequate solution & it's blowback
9. Send US manufacturing overseas...tremendous impact on black workers. White workers cut off their nose to spite their face.
10. Attack democracy through the judiciary (local to supreme court)
11. Concentrated Wealth inequality...crabs in a barrel easily controlled & defeated.
12. Label any type of economic equality socialist madness
There's more, I'm sure, this was just off the top.
all of these things have grown to impact the nation as a whole, and now they reap what they have sown. In the dismay, charlatans swoop in for the good eats.
