The break down in communities and the family organization has become a tool used to control an entire ethnic group. This control has worked over the decades to weld this group into an effective voting block for the progressive socialists democrats.
It might not have stared out to destroy a complete culture, but after seeing how well it worked to bring so many people into the fold of dependency on government subsistence, and therefore a huge voting block to support politicians that promise support for more subsistence but never deliver, and yet this group of people continue to vote like they are told, is a win win situation for the liberal socialist democrats.
In the face of a major brake down in the family and the over all disintegration of living standards that the black community now are facing and have so for decades, why do they continue to vote for democrats that have brought them only destructive results?

The Heritage Foundation's Index of Culture and Opportunity tracks how intertwined cultural and economic dynamics shape opportunity. Culture molds people's capacity to grab hold of opportunity, for example, a community leader can nurture a young adult's ethic and sense of direction needed to sustain self-sufficiency.
Trends in culture interact and when the family structure disintegrates, children tend to struggle with attachments to their community that create opportunities. However, this cultural decline did not emerge entirely on its own: perverse incentives created by public policies have contributed to social breakdown.
Decades of policies undermining families and communities have taught neighbors to depend on the government rather than each other, with harmful consequences for the very people those policies were designed to help.
This index created by the Heritage Foundation tracks 31 social and economic factors related to culture, poverty, dependence and opportunity. The data is organized into three categories:
Cultural indicators such as data on family, religious practice and civil society.
Poverty and dependence indicators including workforce participation, poverty rate and welfare spending.
General opportunity indicators comprise measures of education, employment, wealth and economic freedom. Experts from a variety of disciplines and organizations offer commentary to contextualize the trends observed and explain their importance because, they claim, opportunity requires a particular cultural ecosystem to flourish.
The findings point in the direction of advocating for school choice, welfare reform and stronger communities.
