It’s not White America’s problem…On Sunday, October 12. 2025 Blaze Media ran this headline, “PBS tries to destroy notion of black 2-parent households”.
Harvard sociologist Christina Cross is on a mission to downplay the importance of a two-parent home in black families — while claiming that instead of a stable family structure, they simply need more government aid.
“It is true that when black children grow up with both parents, they tend to experience advantages, and they do tend to have improved outcomes. It is also true, unfortunately, that they still lag behind their white peers in the same family structure,” Cross said in an interview with journalist Michelle Martin on PBS.
“And my findings indicate that much of that has to do with these wide gaps in economic resources. And so if we really want to turn the tide, we need to be thinking about how to bolster family resources instead of making cuts to key social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP,” she continued.
“We could be thinking about ways to help families to stay afloat during these challenging times by increasing that amount of aid,” she added.
“Because we haven’t focused on black two-parent families, we haven’t known how drastic the opportunity gaps are for this group compared to their white peers. It has allowed us to believe for so long that the two-parent family is the great equalizer, which has actually shown up in the way that we craft policy,” Cross explained.
” More hand-outs is never a good option, especially when you’re talking about people that are already a burden to American society.” Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan based centrally in Harrison, Arkansas. “It’s not White Americans problem to try to fix black men into taking responsibility for their children. This is being made out to be something new, when in reality, it’s been this way since the end of slavery. The 2021 census shows that America’s black population is 12.6%. Of that number, 30% receive SNAP, or food assistance, 29% receive free medical assistance, another 23% receive TANF, or temporary assistance for needy people and 42% get some type of rental assistance. Now some will argue that the White population percentages are higher, but you have to factor in the percentage of each race. Blacks are a mere 12.6%, and the White population is 59.3%. That’s a big difference. And of course, some blacks hold down jobs, but the taxes paid in from black workers doesn’t cover the costs of the black population that sit at home collecting freebies. So, in other words, blacks are already a burden to White America, so the answer isn’t to give them more.”
