Nurture V/s Nature and Its Outcome on the Past and Present Black Male

Nurture v/s Nature and its outcome on the past and present Black male.

Naturally, there is more to it then understanding that the biological process is to have both a male and female parent (role models) not only to produce but also to develop a child as well. This is not to say that a family can not develop with an alternative structure. It is just that the natural structure if untampered with could produce a more common positive out-come.
However each generation once removed has an effect on how the next generation will develop.
With this being understood we must now look at the affects of nature v/s nurture.
For years researchers has taken a birds eye view as to whether this competitive see-saw is relative to how we as people develop into adults.
However it seems that researchers targets most of their resources on Nurture v/s Nature relative to how we develop gender wise I.e. hormonal/gender developing, sexual preference, sexual personalities, and other sexual related areas in the human developmental cycle.
What I think we have failed to emphasize on is how Nurture v/s Nature is capable of altering what would be our normal mental and/or moral behaviors, our societal opportunities as well as our developmental psyche.
The difficulties: is to know what our traditional roles in society would be, and what have influenced us into evolving into what and who we are today.

What we as parents teach our children and what our children learn from us are sometimes two very different lessons. Most times there are mixed messages as parents deals with difficulties in their own lives, and life lessons takes a back seat to life issues.
What we are sure of is that there are many reasons and far more influences in regards to the changes in the younger generation in the world, and particular in the advanced technical and economical developed countries.

While these changes are at a sizable disadvantage to our future, we are still at a loss as to what are the best and most effective steps to take to remedy our situations.
With the lack of male parental role models in the homes and the even larger amount of poorly influenced young men and women each generation has added to it its' own influences ( baggage) to this societal crisis
Furthermore as more and more young people are becoming parents and the generation gap continues to get closer and closer, we as society are facing more extensive crisis then ever before, with less resources.
Just a few short generations ago it was practically unheard of in mainstream society for a woman to be the sole provider, sole adult, and/or sole decision maker of a household.
If for some reason a woman was left alone due to the death of a spouse, a male family member would have stepped in. In other times young women stayed home until married. Their inheritances were passed on to their husbands or if unwed it was then supervised by Lawyers and /or Bankers. This however was never the case when looking at the minority population, in
Particularly in the Black American communities.

Coming into the era spanning from the end of slavery into the beginning of the civil rights, it was becoming more and more less uncommon for a black American women to not only be the head of the household but also the provider and very often the decision makers.
This formed a time where black Men were society's unprotected prey.
At some point during this time black male made up for nearly 38% of the deaths in American and a much larger percentage of the murder victims.
It came from Black men being unsafe in this society due to the lack of protection by the law where they could and were easily killed (beaten to death, lynched, shot and any other thing that anyone wanted to do), often dragged out of their own homes in front of wife and kids.
Quite often the shame of what he had to face in front of his wife and children along with the lack of ability to support them put a burden on the entire family that could only result in the man living out side of a household that he could never head and support. Along with this is the lost of respect from women and children that he often endured making the woman a stronger force in the household.
Quite a few households found that the women were much more able to get jobs and purchase/inherited land.
We found ourselves in times when there were little or no job resources out there for a poorly educated black American male and even less for the un/under-educated ones. Unlike the poorly educated Black American women who could get jobs sewing, cooking, laundry, doing day work, and /or child care.
When and if there was a need for Human Service benefits it was at a stipulation that there could not be a man in the household, rather or not he had any abilities to be employed. This further increased the chances that a Black American child would not only be raised in a single parent household but that it would be headed by a woman.
Thus today we suffer that lost of family structure as a society and as we add bandages to these deep mortal wounds, we find that our society is bleeding out ...

It has to our dismay become a status, the norm, the standard, even a right of passage to be a male from a single parent home in some communities. The right to say, "I made myself a man".
It is at a time when the fathers are looking up to the sons: envying their resourceful ill gotten gains.
Ten and twelve year olds out in the streets after midnight with older so call role models using them to hold and handle their drugs and guns with the promise of a few easy made dollars (more then their working mothers could ever give them) and a shorter, easier time served with someone out in the streets looking out for them (a few dollars in their accounts) if they get caught. By fifteen, sixteen they are driving cars that their (again working) mothers could never even afford. Soon they are helping with the bills at home then home becomes their hangout thus introducing the younger siblings into this fast unsafe lifestyle.
That is the siblings that are raised in the household. Quite often other siblings (most times same father different mothers) are either the older or younger male hang out in the streets together. Or enemies fighting and shooting each other.
Sometimes just because they are siblings that were not raised together, other times because the mothers or other family members have unresolved problems, then some times it's as simple as they've been raised on the other side of town. Stuck in a tuff war: because years ago it was easier for the father to have a woman on different sides of town so that they won't run into each other.
In the past two or three generations we have increasingly seem half siblings at or about the same age, children with multiple siblings that doesn't share the same mothers and or fathers.
When households changes its leaders (adults) multiple times through out a child's underage years so then does the rules of the home, the respect, the relationships, the moral beliefs, and our understanding of society and its ways. What is and is not accepted and expected in society.
What we would or could have been, done, seen or learned naturally verses what we are doing, seeing, believing, learning and becoming though the environment we were nurtured in.
