The Impact Of Generational Poverty On Black Americans | NBC Nightly News
Honestly the result of many bad decisions. You have no car, a not good paying job, bad financial decisions, and decide to have multiple kids? A lot of these problems seem self inflicted,
So one of the answers is to convince fathers to stick around. It's called responsibilities.
Not too many men can take that loud mouth & nagging for too long!
Its not father's kent, its government welfare which says she has to smoothly get rid of dad if she want control, the kids have no idea whats going on just tell them dad was worthless! Thats how it goes, look it up!
What about just not having children until one is self supporting with an education, job, car, health insurance, housing etc. This is not just a conversation about abortion or Planned Parenthood. It is about personal responsibility and self discipline and being held accountable for making poor choices. Black people should want their children to accomplish more than they. Young people depending on the government for benefits to support babies are not ready for parenthood. Witness the number of men killing each other and the number being incarcerated for long periods. Stop with the excuses you didn't know that parenting is "hard" and costly. Men wrap it up and women take your BCP daily and our community will change in 18 years. BCPS are free and condoms prevent all types of unwanted sexually transmitted diseases up to and including pregnancy.
Lmao the victimhood in the comments. 😂
@@richellawesson3167 Welfare don't get in your business if you don't contact them.
Why do some people keep having babies they know they can't afford to support?
Should they abort them.poor women need planned parenthood for free birth control and doctor care.
Cause it's free everything til they see where their going to live after years of draining the sustem
Child Tax Credit.
@@robinlennon6248 ofcourse they should not have abortions! Every one can take responsibility for not getting pregnant. Condoms are cheap and available and they are available even if the Planned Parenthood clinic is closed.When one is in a situation that risks a pregnancy, there's always abstinence. There's no excuse for being irresponsible then using abortion as an escape plan.Sometimes I think that the concept of decency no longer exists.
@@robinlennon6248 Planned parenthood makes money killing babies,not handing out rubbers!
"my mom is a single mom with multiple children,our lives were hard...when i grow up,i am gonna be like her"
Life lesson,dont make bad life choice
Exactly , obviously her story is saddening but on the other hand her choice to bear 3 kids with her current situation is just inconsiderate
Duc Tran i say don’t have so many kids the more kids the more povery.....kids are expensive
@@melblessed145 i support 2 children for each family.but if people want to have more children when they can take care of them,then i support them as well.its their own freedom and self happiness
@@JonMow To break Poverty Cycle, One must get education. Learn how to SAVE MONEY within our Budget and don't depends on the government helps.

Stop opening up yo legs to every clown 🤡 that comes around.
Proud of Colleta. She broke the family cycle. Got a job, career and a home ❤️ I raised 4 children on my own, got a job, home. And broke d the family cycle ❤️😍
You didn’t really break it if you’re a single mom. You just have more disposable income.
I think she is referring to the cycle of poverty....
But you did have the father around. You still failed. Sorry. But great on everything else.
Don’t get it look I’m a black American with no kids but I also have three degrees and have opportunities to work decent jobs high paying jobs. How I kept my pants up, stayed away from gangs and jail. The only woman I felt with was my now ex wife and worked hard! I also grew up in on the worst hoods on the south side of Chicago.
She is a victim of her flawed priorities and bad decision making skills. Having 3 kids without the social infrastructure (i.e. a husband at best a supportive family at least.) and or resources to take proper care of them is like putting a 44 caliber gun to your own head. Having babies when young in most cases sets you up for a lifetime of McJob's! When you can afford children they are joys. When you can't afford children they are anchors / stumbling blocks to any high paying career.
My niece is a black female human without a husband. She has a kid. Both she and her kid live well. Difference she went to college and got a degree and built a good career path first. She does not have a husband but they are living a fine middle class life. I'm black I'm just finishing a career making a nice living and an ample retirement for myself. I went to college first got my 4.0 GPA in a growth career and now I can retire with few if any cares.
Having children before you have a career is too often a career killer.
you lost sight of the root cause. would you blame an infant for not being able to feed themselves?
Nobody is telling poor people to have kids. I'm beginning to think that the majority of poor people are simply just unintelligent.
But then why having kids?.....they come to suffer only...educate young people do not have babies if you cannot afford them...
i am proud of the woman for managing to get out of bad situation and being able to support her family. However isnt the wider issue here more of an issue of someone not being able to rise multiple children by themselves? go back, why does she have multiple children and where is the father? and she said it was the same issue as her own mother - shouldnt this be concern? solve the root of the issue and not the consequence or cycle will never be broken. I do not know the reason for father being absent but it seems like its not a one off, i doubt all single mothers rising their children are forced into it because of tragic accident that killed their fathers - how about more responsibility from both men and women when it comes to commitment, rising children together and not screwing eachother over.
I loved how you put that together.
I guess many Black men dont want to take up responsibility for showing their oats as men.
The root cause Is Sociological and Monetary.
So invest thy Cash for better returns.
To break the Poverty Cycle, One must get education and find the right partner. Learn how to SAVE MONEY WITHIN OUR BUDGETS AND just party a little and maintain a Steady job for 8-15 years or more. That's the key....
I know Life is Unfair....
Or, just don’t have children.
@@WellBeing999 children have nothing to do with your failure in life. Don't blame on others especially little kids!!
@@machinegun2282 he's not blaming children, but if you have children without enough money to support them, then it will be very hard to get out of the cycle. That's why it's best not to have children until you get your financials in order.
@@michaelregis1015 I agree. One of the meanest and cynical things a parent can do is raise a child in the ghetto. Leading a lamb into slaughter.
@@horizontoday7874 exactly passing nothing but destitution, dysfunction, unhealthy eating lifestyle, and debt
Stop having babies until you get married
Build your successful profitable stable career first before having the first baby. Have babies only when you can give them a meaningful life using the money you make. Stop punishing hard working to taxpayers by forcing us to raise your children with public funds. YOUR CHILDREN = YOUR PROBLEM ...PERIOD!
We need fathers in the Households and we need proper money management.
You won't hear the media talk about the disproportionate amount of black fathers abandoning their wife and kids, It's too wacist.
We need fathers in the household for the right reasons. Not to just use their “babymamas” for shelter.
STHU
@@horizontoday7874Black household with two parents have a poverty rate below 10%. That is lower than the national average. The government destroyed blacks with welfare... Hopefully they can stop breaking the wedlock be prosperous again. That being said in a two person households they are most likely doing well already
Who asked her to be a single parent?
Of course white folk's throwing a rock and hiding your hand.
@@MsAllie-hf1bh It's not just white folk. Some black folk see having 8 babies as a single mom \ absent father while working a minimum wage job as woefully stupid. Sometimes facts share the same shape and consistency of rocks. Anyone can make one stupid mistake but making 8 babies with no father in sight the woman is a fool.
If u can’t afford to have multiple kids don’t have them. So many people have kids and just rely on government.... it’s not even a big question of “how am I gonna afford them?”, it’s just automatically assumed that the Gov will cut u a check to do so. Like how u gonna have 3 or 7 kids when u can’t afford them??? I had a single mom and we lived hard for a while but I didn’t go on to have kids I can’t afford. I’m careful (birth control... it’s not hard to take a pill lol) and I’ve never been pregnant. Why is that so hard for others? And if u can afford to go out drinking on weekends u can afford birth control. It’s called priorities and responsibility. Maybe it’s the lack of those two things, not generational poverty, that’s the issue.
OR just practice abstinence outside of marriage. Many don’t consider this 100 percent proven, safe, healthy option. I wonder why so many lack self control in this particular area 🤔
We all know that kids make you poor. Idk why people still decide to do it knowing they have no way to take care of them and then play the victim. Just stop being stupid and use contraception people.
Wealthy people want the poor to continue having children so they can work for them in low level jobs (25k or lower a yr) when they get older.
@@horizontoday7874 And poor people are stupid enough to keep doing it.
I grew up in a house with no running water, part of the ceiling caving in, no central heat or air conditioning and holes in the floor, a mom that was abusive and a dad that was a drunk, I seldom got new clothes and sometimes had to borrow at school to have enough to buy food, I started working as soon as I was old enough to get a job, I graduated high school, went to college, and love working.....the only one holding you back is you.
Hats off to you , that's how you do it
It sounds like you didn’t have children young either. That helps a lot!
Dont have 3 kids if u cant support them
BOOM 💥
We had generational poverty on both sides of my family, also raised by a single mother. All 3 kids went to college, first generation to do so, and wow look we all got good jobs and are no longer in generational poverty. Your skin color is not stopping you from getting a good degree and a career.
Except it is
Why are black women always single parents? I don't understand
Ask black fathers. They didn't make those babies by themselves.
@@thephoenixrising4614 well they weren't wives first so it's on the women
When lack of a photo id and a bank account is an actual issue in your community, why are talking about home ownership? Someone who doesn't see the value in having those is going to get a home loan? Crazy talk
Generational poverty strikes all skin color. This story tell part of the truth. The US has a social economic problem, not a racial justice problem. But it’s easier for politicians to divide their citizens by skin color. Votes are easier gained
Say what!? How about we acknowledge that the real truth is both. The USA has both a social economic as well as a racial justice and inequality problem. There I said it. History and facts support my statement. I agree with you though that they would much rather have us Americans divided rather than united which is unfortunate and needs to change.
Rotimi , no laws (other than affirmative action sections) are written to give an advantage to a certain pigment. The race “issue” is a perceived issue. Plenty of affluent and successful citizens of all skin color to prove that. Number one problem is being raised in a broken home.. If you want equal opportunity it’s one thing, equal outcome is different.. Vote for politicians that promote family structures and school choice. A good family and a good education will provide anyone with the opportunity of the American dream
@@mcko5786 you’re wrong about no law ever existing to give advantage to a certain skin tone, or do you not remember Jim crow, voting laws, slavery, grandfather laws, the one drop rule, ownership rights, red lining, etc? Affirmative action was created for a reason you know 😒
Stop laying down with those thugs lol. Simple.
We are still suffering and stammering out of the traumas of Jim Crow and slavery. It becomes generational curses and dysfunction. It takes one person to break these cycles. Black women- we are the strongest and most intelligent , when we believe in ourselves. We can do it!!
pay close attention to what were seeing wearing nice clothes long weave yet you complain about poverty notice how all the women in this clip have in common they were raised by single mothers and we can assume they had multiple baby daddies the issue is this behavior is normalized in the black community to procreate without the financial incentive to raise children the party now worry later mindset is what keeps so many blacks in destitution
And that’s why the children they bear will either work at a security desk, call center, or retail store to SERVE the well-off.
@@horizontoday7874 Not sure of where you live, but all 3 of these jobs can help put kids through college, buy homes, nice cars and provide.....
@@thephoenixrising4614 Went over your head, hun.
3 kids, no husband, her decisions, and somehow, she's a victim.
Yes victim of her own stupidity and laziness. That is perfectly clear.
Maybe she's a victim because of the man is not there.
I’m from another country I grew up in America I work hard that’s how I make it
@@justrosy5 Everybody get helps and support from the government in America. The Poverty Cycle and it's problems are Lazy thinking concept. If ONE choose to be Strong and Independent and Free then It will be Free.
It's a will and a desire to be.
If it wasn't for African Americans and the civil rights movement you wouldn't have been given the opportunity. You benefited off black folks. Salute
@@Honestandtruth Um... No. Not everyone does. Clearly, you are not actually living in the United States. Might want to stop commenting on how things go here.
This is getting old everyone needs to work
Exactly right brother 💪👍
No they dont
how can everyone work if they no one is given a job?
minimum wage jobs will do nothing
Nothing against the people in the story, but there are so many better stories about generational poverty of black Americans who don’t rely on government assistance to have kids that they can’t afford that would better demonstrate the effects of structural racism. Like it or not, the people that they picked for this story are literally walking stereotypes of what conservatives hate. If your thesis is that generational poverty holds back black Americans, then why would you show people who rely on government assistance to have kids that they can’t afford at young ages? A conservative can easily make the argument that it was bad personal decisions rather than generational poverty and structural racism that caused their predicaments. If you showed somebody working 80 hour weeks at minimum wage to support their kids and spouse who has cancer and can’t work, it’d be a lot more powerful in advancing the thesis, which I personally agree with; I just thought this didn’t do a great job presenting it.
Agreed!
There's no such thing as a single mom, unless the father is dead. Divorced mom's still get child support.
That's not always the case. Look, its hard for every person in the family when you grow up in any type of single parent home. Single mom, single dad, etc etc.
@@Sci-Fi_Fan296 I agree bro
All kinds of BS people everywhere. Good, bad, ugly and nasty people....
No they don't.very few do.
I guess my question would be for these baby mama's, if you couldn't afford a first child, why didn't you abort? Also
why pop out two extra kids? This is ignorance and dumb decision trying to pass as bad luck.
And two things will be the final result in most cases: Going back to the plantation (prison) or work at low level jobs to cater to the wealthy.
There is birth control and I am not just talking about birth control pills.
Red Summer of 1919.. When Black generational wealth was crippled..
1. Graduate High School on time.
2. Don't have kids till 21 and especially don't have them out of wedlock!
3. Work full time, any job you can find.
4. Ill add another, learn a useful skill.
5. Learn to save, invest and buy life insurance.
Black women seem to love raising kids alone, full authority, full control, so she thinks!
Their husband is the taxpayer.
That's why majority of black men end up with other races and they are happy and don't leave.
I hate how these people take taxpayers money and use government resources without paying any axes ...They should spend money on education rather than having more kids
Government Census 24 million poor white, 8 million poor black, and 12 million poor Hispanic in the United states. You won't hear them use numbers just percentage.
Wow.. Millions of people are collecting our hard earn tax payer money
Love those poverty rates! What about Native Americans, guys? Almost half live in poverty, that would be your highest rate. But you just make them invisible... How convenient!
not that native americans are poor. they just live their fourth world moments like they did hundreds of years ago.
Great report 👏
BS Generational poverty did not force her to have children with no money and with a man that doesn't have his life together and doesn't want or know how to be a father.
All young students should have after completing HIGH SCHOOL Graduation the Government should give every USA students a $2500. cash/credit card for graduation. TO choose how to use this money. This will help them become better USA community members.
I would vote for you for president. Excellent idea!
And how will you guarantee that students will use that money wisely? I'm not gonna pay high taxes just to support individuals that weren't taught how to be financially responsible.
Government is too greedy and needy for itself,if they did that to students,then they would have to pay taxes as well.
That's a terrible idea.
The idea is to get the kids motivated to learn and to reach their goals and earn their money. We are not going to spoil our kids but to teach them the best competitive education like from other nations. The idea of giving moneytary gifts is that to give kids who works hard to achieve a boost in their lives..the more you learn or receive credit s the more cash they get on graduation. Show class and achievement not stupidity.
The minute a person gets on gov. Assistance they should stop having kids.and that doesn't mean keep screwing then just abort if nessary
There you go, you fixed all the world problems.
Do the world a favor, go back to English class.
To tell someone to abort is cold and callous. Think before you write.
If people in this 8 kids on a minimum wage job pay situation had that kind of rationale stregth, personal responsibility and personal discipline they would not be in this situation anyway. Education costs money and effort. Stupidity is free especially if you are bone idle lazy!
Thank you
I had two different friends that had 12kids they said they did it for gov. Asst.they would get tax returns for 20,000$ each yr. And 2,400$ every mo. For food and all kinds of other benefits.they didn't work either.its wrong
I didn't see anything wrong with this story to be completely honest and in fact I actually saw this as a positive story filled with hope and inspiration for anyone else who could relate to it. I would much rather see stories like this of how some disenfranchised individuals are taking action to better themselves and to break the cycle of poverty in their lives and for future generations. As a black business owner I stand with those who are taking action to change the outlook of their lives by God's grace and mercy. Remember people: Generational poverty is a mindset. It is a way of life for a lot of people. However, there are those who say enough is enough and take action to change things. May God be with them no matter what race they identify with.
They shouldn't wait til they have 4 or 5 kids before they say oh I need to do something,
Hello I am Jonia. Amen! thank you for your kind words, I enjoyed sharing my story and hope to encourage many woman, I am in the process of opening a non profit to support and give knowledge to young women facing this struggle. The goal is to educate ALL woman, who lack the knowledge and support. I do appreciate your kindness! God bless you
Chris Vittetoe also I worked since I was 15, through all of my pregnancies I worked but unfortunately for young minority woman in my community we lack resources. God bless y’all
Stop having kids if you’re poor!!!
If you have 7 siblings and a mom making slave wages aka minimum wage suffering is baked into the equation. Children can be prevented by the correct use of condoms and physical barrier \ spermacides \ oral contraceptives. Having children when extremely poor is a choice. I raised one male child to adulthood. Sent him to private school then to college. I brought him a car when he graduated high school. You can do these things when you have fewer children.
It is an equation. Have one or two children and give them awesome lives filled with joy and ample opportunities or have a dozen children and give them lives of crushing poverty and pain. You made your choice dearie STOP WHINING NOW & DEAL WITH IT!
I bet those kids...all three of them are from three different fathers.
Where's the father in the picture? Oh wait...
The taxpayer.
I won't care until they stop washing chicken with bleach and dish soap. CHIRP and for the love of god change the batteries
The best way for families to break the generational poverty is to obtain professional degrees like MD, DDS, JD -- instant wealth and respect.
And over 100k in debt in student loans!
@@flyguy4211 You're not going to care about student loans when you make $400k as internist and >$1 million as orthopedic surgeon
The best and EASIEST way to keep poverty at bay is to just remain child free. Unplanned children are the main cause of poverty - worldwide!
Feeding and housing one person (yourself) is much easier and requires less money, time, and effort than feeding, supporting, and housing several small vulnerable people. Duh!
@@WellBeing999 But then your bloodline will die out. Much better to have 2 parents caring for kids they can afford
who told you a degree makes you instantly rich??
Don't have them out of wedlock on purpose.
Sad that some think this is a thing. Life is a culmination of choices. I came from a poor, broken home. Single mom raising 3 of us without child support or government assistance. I learned that hard work and good choices paired with sensible spending got me to where I am today. Started off at $5 an hour flipping burgers. I now work in an office making 70k annually. No favors, no whining, no cutting corners. Every job I took I learned more from and never took a job that made less than the last one. Now I have a home, car, good credit,etc. Break all cycles and stop resting on the crutch of excuses. You can do it!😊
Absolutely! People come here from all over the world worse off and make it here!
@@TheJohnbjuniorthe Civil Rights Movement wasn't a joke -- neither was Reconstruction. When you have the Government, Jim Crow, and the KKK discriminating against you... You are ignorant.
Don't play victim. Make good decisions.
Why are the poor always having children? Single moms and its perpetuation.
It was hard to support herself so she chose to have 3 kids… 🤔
You ppl smmfh
@@dontbmadjusbcareful you people?! How about put blame where it goes. Poor blacks LOVE making kids. Child abuse. It'd stop if we kept paying for all their mistakes as tax payers. Imagine. They would shut off their holes when they don't get a dime.
Oh please. America is the land of opportunity. My husband’s Filipino family came here in the 70’s to flee their third world poverty conditions and they slept 20 people on a floor In a studio, each working 3 jobs. Today they are successful. This is such bull. It’s a culture of bad lifestyle choices and a poverty mindset. I myself am biracial and grew up in poverty but worked my butt off in school to climb my way out.
How much does weave cost?
Lol, that isn't even weave
White folks gone crazy. Stay thirsty my friend.
Part of that poverty comes from people reproducing at a rate that the economy doesn’t support.
yup.
You mean reproducing at a rate that THEY cannot support
It's not just the blacks tha tf are poor I know white folks who have to live in campers and some with others family some white families have no car to drive walk everywhere to get what they need for dinner do without at Christmas where Hammie down clothing out of style and oh yea dinner time are slim for most white families too not just black families who have it hard we all do
The difference is white folks dont blame hard times on anyone we dont go loot stores and riot we pick up the broken pieces and keep moving on we pray for peace hope for the best in 2021
This video does not address black male poverty, nor elderly black poverty.
They're erasing black American male contributions to building this place
I just watched a CZcams video about poverty which featured white women..the differences in the comments on videos where white women are displaying their lives as single moms in poverty vs black women as single moms in poverty is DISGUSTING.
Yup, these people are very hateful to bw. This is why we stay to ourselves.
Try showing them how easy it is to manage their resources and educate their families with current technology, and you'll quickly find out why these people experience infinite poverty.

@@AUTISTICLYCAN You're the trailer park resident, which is why you don't understand my comment. There's a real barrier, wake up and smell the oppression.
You think that living through the situation herself would dissuade her from having kids to put through the situation.
Track Black Americas history and its easy to understand why they are in that spot. Like LBG said in 1965
"But freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please.
You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, “you are free to compete with all the others,” and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.
Thus it is not enough just to open the gates of opportunity. All our citizens must have the ability to walk through those gates."..............
..........too many American look at Black Americans as undeserving and the American political system (both DEMS and REPS) never really followed in his foodsteps.......if so these wouldnt be the case in 2020.
Black Americans have been TRULY "FREE" for LESS THAN 60 years......how far could they have gotten with all that has and continues to hold them back?

@@xxxxxx-kk7mh having children you can’t afford is though. And I believe it’s the number one reason for poverty worldwide believe it or not.

If you see your mother as a single mother struggle with multiple kids. When you are old enough to make decisions you take a similar path. My family grew up poor literally couldn't afford food for 6 kids, because we were new to America and barely spoke English. We are finally ok now and took 1 generation. I think it is a culture. May not always be where you start. But with a better start we hope our kids go further.

@GDB Riot I agree. I visited Detroit while ago...and its a nice city but its so empty. Its sad that's its bankrupt I hope there will be more jobs opportunities there in the future...its ironic when you mentioned the car business in Detroit in the past because when I was driving the highway to the city and back home I've seen at least 5 cars in the flames ( on the side of the highway) that apparently broke down , and that's the only time Ive seen it, was crazy 🤪🔥
@GDB Riot I agree, I do think Detroit have good vibes but also Michigan is a beautiful state with lots of nature💚...Every year downtown Detroit there are music festivals during Memorial weekend and I really want to go there and spend few days with my hubby (after covid-19 nightmare) I hope soon🙏

No one is talking about the elephant in the room. Races tend to stick together (asian, black, latino, white, jewish, middle eastern, etc) The ones with not just higher education, but higher IQ tend to better for them selves. And no, the whites do not have the highest IQ over all. It's asians, jews, indians, and then whites, then latino, and at the end african americans. The difference is like 20 pts, which is HUGE. Not sure why that is, however in a free market economy the effects are greatly amplified. Look up govt stats on races and IQ. They need to be handled differently to be successfull. You can't just put them in a typical HS room. Debate me on this if You want. Start there though.

NBC has done segments on white collar workers who are impoverished and hispanic Americans as well. Some of the segments on rural whites who were living in generational poverty was quite compelling in fact.
@@Salmiyaguy1 Thank you! I bet you you didn’t see many comments such as the one above on those videos either. Seems like anytime black people in particular talk about their (legitimate) struggles that may be attributed to history someone always gets offended 🙄
