She should be criticizing out of wedlock child births a lot men didn’t run out it just didn’t workout.
nobody cares about your personal beliefs. All that matters is facts and logic.
She is not coming With any or not much of any degree of nuance shes basically insinuating that if you get pregnant by a black man there’s a 73 percent chance that he’s going to leave her and the baby and for lot of black men that is true but a lot of black men are in their kids lives just not married to the mother. You see nuances what she should have said is why do we have a culture that accepts promiscuity, out of wedlock child births and easy access to divorce rather than coming out with the prejudging stereotype.
Damion jackson she’s talked about those issues multiple times you should check out her channel and her other videos she’s just talking about the major factor that led to the downfall of the black community even when culture was more conservative
No 1 is not father absence
To this day I can honestly say if my dad chose to leave when my mother got pregnant I wouldn’t be the man I am today. A two parent household is extremely important in the lives of a child
💯💯💯
That's why i don't Respect my father cuz he was too pussy to be apart of my life. He left when I was 3 years old.
Agreed. This single parent copout will do much more harm than good.
@@washingtongarden4078 I've also noticed how we from the Caribbean north/central/south America who have been through slavery have very dysfunctional families and a lot of self hate.
Agreed.
Quit glamorizing hood culture. All facets. There's nothing glamorous about it. Glamorizing it implies acceptance and stifels improvement.
Facts! This needs to stop. Enough scholarships exist they should be trying to get out of the hood and not staying in it. Ladies dating guys and getting knocked up needs to stop as well. I’m so glad my mother who has been married to my father for over 35 years taught me morals.
You got it
Stop talking like your oppressor. We don’t need you to parrot those points. We don’t own enough TV networks or radio stations to GLAMORIZE anything. HOOD CULTURE isn’t even the main culture as of now. Black culture now is about finding our culture and businesses. Most the 21-48 year old black people I know are doing just that. Even my hood friends don’t glamorize it. Do you have any VALID points?
@@thoughtsofthepeople6197 unfortunately 99 percent of Rappers glamorise hoid culture. 99 % of black poeple listen to rappers, and nit you , or your friends.
@@thoughtsofthepeople6197 We def glamorize hood culture, our music clearly.
"I believe there are roles, natural, biological roles for men and women...and both should be celebrated as difficult tasks". Couldn't agree more
Those roles will have you enslaved. It is not that simple and people are a lot deeper than that.
@@nope9905 they will only enslave you if you allow them too
@@bigchef3394 Agree :)
@@nope9905 What? Did your Becky tell you that!
@@4abrownafrica420 No you did and you know her way better than me...lol..
Growing up without a father affected me deeply. The way he was taken from my life was traumatizing and I can honestly say, that is when my life started to spiral down; I was 12 at the time. I knew that I did not want to be a "baby mama" because I saw the impact of not having a father on my peers and felt it too. I am very thankful and blessed to be happily married now with a baby on the way.
So you have a wonderful life even tho you didn't have a Father growing up?
So it is possible for the Children of Single Motherhood to grow up to have Happy Lives as Adults...
Im Glad you are Happy and that you are Blessed 🙏🏽🙏🏽👇🏽
@@MrLTLB She is the exception and she also had her dad until she was 12. The black community is almost destroyed for lack of father's in the home and the core values are shallow and materialistic.
Let’s hope you never get divorced and become another BABY MOMMA because Marriage does NOT make you safe from that possibility
Still married?
@@ThatAlleyCatsBack 😹💯
Black Dad's matter should be the main movement in the Black community.
I love this!
💯 that starts with addressing the removal of incentives and mindset
If there was a BDM movement there would be no need for BLM.
They'll miss the point and use it as a slogan to bash men in the community. Instead of seeing it as a wake up call for women to choose better.
All dads matter
I wish our black communities would stop normalizing single parenthood. We should start teaching young black women and men the art of building healthy relationships and the value of stability and marriage. I lost count of the number of baby showers I have attended to celebrate a young woman starting/repeating single parenthood without any guarantee of support from the father of her child/children.
Good luck with that ! Some will listen & rest won’t
We should also stop arresting and convicting black fathers at a much higher rate than any other community
Amen!!!
@@senatorsheevpalpatine3712 When men are taught that the pride they are looking for can be found in hard work and responsibility, you will then find less black men in prison.
Not only is it normalized with is almost encouraged !!
As much as I love movies like HOUSE PARTY and FRIDAY, if you take notice of the dialogue, it’s one of the reasons why “being a player” is glamorized. Look at House Party when KID tells PLAY he didn’t hook up with Sidney bc he didn’t have protection, and PLAY straight up tells him it’s her problem if she gets pregnant. I know it’s just a movie, but take notice who is motivated by these words
STds also wasn't mentioned in the movie either
Yep
It’s all programming. Movies and tv and music program the masses.
@@stealthmode1303 exactly. Each movie , entertainer , artist , actor , public figure serves to a very specific calculated agenda
@@stealthmode1303 i remember back in the early 70s they showed a lot of black exploitation movies that glamourised pimps, drug dealers and prostitutes, and that's how the world started viewing us and demonizing us including lot of black people
Listening to Candace Owens makes me realize why I’ve never fit in with the “norm”/my peers.
She's awesome
@@niamtxiv Nah she is not!!!!
👍🏿
Lol same💯
Exactly! It’s like you’re talked down upon when you don’t agree with the “norm”.
To me, I think black fathers are more valuable than child support.
Chalant Tracks facts
Dads and money for education and investing in a career....
So who will pay for the expenses?
Incorrect. You can't be an actual father if you can't even provide for your child. Perhaps invest in condoms.
@@mbloom2275 stay single and don’t have any damn kids
Why doesn’t our community want to take responsibility for the role we played/play in our continuous demise
I agre Because no one lets us, people are starting this constant thing in the black community that nothing is ever our fault when it’s no one else’s fault anymore that we have a huge percentage of baby mamas and baby daddies.
Because when you had a 20% single motherhood rate, there were still a large 80% of people who can criticize the 20%. But when you get to 80% "bad" moral choices, there's only the small 20% left to critize the overwhelming 80%. So it's way less effective, the 80% easily shouts down the 20%. So now to fix it, its the 80% who need to self reflect and critize themselves...the chances of that is unlikely. When it spirals downward, there is a point of no return.
That mirror is a mf for most
Take responsibility for your own demise.
Ask black women
There are so many options today not to have an unwanted pregnancy. It will never stop because now they have reality shows making it fashionable to be a teen mom.
Fashionable to be a teenage mom, fashionable to have unprotected sex.
Schools and cultures clashing about sex ed even though the majority of statistics show that sex-ed is linked to lowered teen pregnancies and lowered STD spread.
In Scandinavia, they also have programs that look at schools with concentrated amounts of troubled kids and then relocate them to other schools with fewer issues. This actually shows to help many kids go trough school improving grades across the board.
Some countries have programs that help parents establish their economies, switch professions if their current one is on a decline. And economical incentives for companies to hire inexperienced people.
Then again the US would have to work with a social welfare system that apparently is considered "communist" even though most of their insurance companies work on the same principles just more costly due to profits. XD
Sex is the culprit. If peopke stop having so much sex and hook ups, there will be less of this
@@Ayixlia I don't know Sex has been a big thing in society for a long time. They just don't have to be as discreet about it today. If anything peoples lack of understanding about sex and relationships is the biggest issue having very naive and overly romanticised perspectives of them. Or opposite quite ignorant and flat out disrespectful views of it. :/
Actually reality wouldn’t allow anyone that is on Teen Mom’s to receive a cent in profit. Whoever created that “Reality show“ is a horrible evil degenerate piece of trash and belongs in a landfill somewhere.
Thank you. What I don’t understand is how can a woman of age whom is sexually active not know how not to get pregnant WITH as many options in the world. And don’t give me that oh my beliefs. Especially when most beliefs stands no sex before marriage I call bullshit.
watching both of them speak makes me want to read more books.
When I was 17 years old I was not sure about what I wanted to be, but I definitely knew what I didn't want to be. I didn't want to be a single mother or have a child out of wedlock. I took measures to prevent those things. I am now 31 years old and married with no childern outside of my husband. The formula is simple stop getting pregnant with men who will not first commit themselves, in marriage, to you and vice versa.
I am so glad this is the direction you chose for your family. Although my circumstances are different than yours, you couldn't be more right.
All single moms aren't baby mamas...some of us are ex spouses....
Amen!
@@tanitrarobinson7477 Exactly. Why are there no calls to hold men accountable?
@@tanitrarobinson7477 or widows....smh
Not just "fathers" but sane, productive, loving fathers is key. It's a lot of horrible men who have no business being a father.
Agreed. A father who spends time, instills values and does things for his wife such as shovel the snow which a lot of "men" these days refuse.
While I agree with the sentiment, I disagree with the statement. If a man won't make a good father, then the woman shouldn't lay down with him unprotected.
Lord jesus keeping preaching that.
@@2MasterBuilder2 you are correct, but men and women both make mistakes when it comes to who we lay up with along with when we lay up. You have kids having babies, poor people having babies, etc. Alot of this has to do with lack of knowledge, lack of resources , people are vunerable, lack of guidance, etc. We all can make correct statements but look at all the facts.
I agree with you
It’s about educating girls on what kind of man to have children with in the first place.
Facts!
A parents job.
@RebekaLuppino WTF! You mean it's about educating our boys and girls to choose wisely? Don't put it ONLY on our girls. Let's be fair please
True
Young men need more teaching. Because they are the one who chooses to leave and force single moms to need welfare.
I love how respectful they were of each other’s views. Even when they disagree they still LISTENED to each other instead of just pushing their views and cutting each other off, like is often done whenever Candice is invited to speak
He did not listen.
It's incredible how this is valued in todays world.. once upon a time, it was nothing to be applauded.

@@jest3167 u don’t have to be married to be a dad
@@tintin5967 True I wouldn’t know anything about that being an unmarried dad of six kids..........
@@jest3167 then ur first comment makes 0 sense it has nothing to do with the original comment.
The problem is this has become normalized in the black community. We also seem to have low expectations for ourselves and for each other.
You hit the nail on the head, the biggest issue is that its now a norm, society doesn't see the issue in this and that perpetuates the problem
@@ksway8471 I'm in my 40s and when I was growing up, having kids out of wedlock was a taboo. Back then it brought shame to the family. Nowadays, it's seen as no big deal anymore. I also get the impression that low-quality men associate having a bunch of kids with masculinity & virility. Pretty pathetic.
@money bags if you are calling the men low value or quality, you have to call the women that have kids with them low value or quality. They selected those men.
@@EH-ik6rd We could in theory say that, however, these women ARE taking care of these kids to the best of their ability unlike the men who pump and dump. I'll give them value points for that.
@moneybags Cardi B and others let us know about the WAP and they accept it. But they have this thing called birth control (been around for years), selecting and only reproducing with someone they vetted, or being actual good co-parents that could resolve the issue. You get no points for causing an issue especially one that is not great for children and then trying to get glory.
Great perspective. My mother is 72 she talks about this in detail how welfare changed the dynamics of the black family.
The biggest reason for fatherless homes in the 80's is DOPE.
@Wonderland t when ppl are strung out and addicted to drugs they are not in their right mind. My auntie had 4 kids and didn't raise any of them because she kept going back to smoking crack. Drugs addiction destroyed many homes in the 80s whether it was one parent or both. For some reason that conversation has been pushed to the side.
Something I thought
First Candace Owens interview I’ve heard where the interviewer isn’t jumping down her throat. We need more like this
Umm No.. more like first time she isn’t interrupting and over talking people and TRYING to abuse false facts! FOH. And she STILL wanted to obviously. Only reason she didn’t is because he agreed with her a lot. Candace SOUNDS a lot smarter than what she actually is. She’s great at debating, talks fast, plays on narratives and no one actually fact checks her. And when they do she changes the subject. Stay woke
Well, she IS quite detestable. As much as I want to really like her, shes beyond contempt.
@@MrGoodbar9point5 this isn’t true a lot what she says is well thought out and researched you only think it’s lies because you don’t agree with it which is cool but just be truthful.
To fair she decided to be be respectful which she doesn't always do.
@@TheDesmond006 I think it’s because the energy in the room the dude is actually trying to have a conversation.
I grew up in a two-parent household and I refuse to be a single parent because I see the importance of having a man in the home. It's interesting that I sometimes get the side eye from black men because I don't have any children.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You made the right choice, most folks won't even do that
A healthy man. Only.
Same here, but from BW.
My father left my mom when I was a baby.They are still techinally married by law, but seperated. I didn't know -still don't- how a man was suppose to treat a woman because my father wasn't there to be that example. My mother always told me to not settle for a broke man and yet my father wasnt a wealthy man himself.I understand not to date broke men but that still didnt prevent my father from walking out on us. At first she was working at a good job;made good money. She payed the bills, took me and my brother and sisters out for movie nights every Friday. Those were the times but then her boss passed away and so she got layoff. She never went back to work again. She apply for food stamps and that was all.I know of him but we just don't have that bond between daughter and father. It sucks. I wished that my parents never seperated. I always wondered how my life would had turn out if they was still together. Im 26 and never dated because Im to afraid I would make the same mistake as my mother. I'm afraid I would marry a man like my father and he to -like my mother- would leave me a single mother. That's a fear that kept me from dating. Also I dont have children either. I wasn't the fast type and kept my chasity even though today its consider weird to be a virgin at 26, even as a woman. Times has really changed because at one time being a woman and a virgin was consider a blessing to guys now its consider a turn off for some.
To be honest I'm kind of shocked how this issue isn't discussed in the mainstream media every day. It has such a enormous impact, but people just sweep it under the rug.
Why when mainstream media is apart of the system contributing all of this. Sex, drugs, violence etc. are all glamorize by mainstream media
What really surprises me is that almost no one that talks about single motherhood ever mentions the sexual revolution, and the promiscuous premarital sex, ignorance of gender roles, and degradation of marriage and family that it encouraged.
7:23 Even this point, where he mentions that, during the 1920's there was an increase in single motherhood, too, can also be explained by a sexual revolution. Prior to the 1960's sexual revolution, there was one during the 1920's, where there was a loosening of tight Victorian sexual morals to the more loose sexuality of the 'flappers' of the roaring twenties.
It's almost as if whenever people have more promiscuous, premarital sex, there's a breakdown of the family, more single mothers, and more unplanned pregnancies. C'mon, this isn't rocket science. When you have irresponsible sex, you get a bunch of very serious problems.
I mention the sexual revolution when discussing this issue but I never considered the loosening of morals from the flappers and such in the 20's.
@@christopherboxford9556 Yeah, it's not really talked about much, but there actually was a sexual revolution in the 20's, too. It's really odd how invisible sexual irresponsibility is in the public conversation.
We as a society are blinded to the fact every time you have sexual intercourse with someone with a condom or not there is a chance of getting pregnant or catching sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS . God has given us the solution FLEE FORNICATION Give your body to the Lord and he will keep your sexual urges in check We are destroying ourselves and the next generation because if they are not taught with any biblical values this problem will never go away WE MUST GO BACK GOD The Black Community had strong traditional biblical values but other cultures begin to tell us lies and we fell for it
The problem is the promiscuous men dodge their culpability for that pregnancy. They had to have studied biology! Maybe im reading wrong into this but it seems you’re blaming women for daring to have sex as much as men do, as much as they want 🤷♀️ with whomever they want. See how that sounds? Ok for he, evil for she? At least the single mom stayed. Many, many men who abandon these fetus. What’s their role in the family breakdown? Women have been the scapegoat for all the ills of the world since the beginning of time.I apologize now if I misunderstood.
@@skel760 Yeah, you're reading it wrong. I was blaming premarital, promiscuous sex as a whole, both men and women. Both sides bear responsibility. Both men and women need to stop having irresponsible sex--this is what is causing single motherhood--full stop.
I’m constantly asked by black men why I don’t have any children. Better yet, first they ask me “how many kids I got”, under the assumption I have at least one. I’m 31 and just finished my BA degree. My simple answer is this: “BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE THE RESOURCES OR FINANCES TO TAKE CARE OF ONE!!!”
Imagine what's it like for Black Men who don't have kids. I'm 38 and BW give me funny looks like something is wrong with me for not falling into bastard baby making trap. No I prefer to be a father not a baby daddy ma'am.

I bet he feels good to be appreciated. Far too many men don’t own up to the responsibility. I wanted the responsibility of being a father. All the good and bad.
@@richardramfire3971 I don't know all about that maybe the people that know dont want to own up and take responsibility but you're only telling half the story tho.. everybody only speaks from their own experience never a collective
Love this. I am a single mother now who had a child out of wedlock. I grew up without any role models who remained married. All of my aunts, uncles, and even grandparents (who I never met) are divorced and are also single parents. I keep seeing comments that say why and what we shouldn’t do such as not having children out of wedlock or without a supportive co parent, be emotionally and financially prepared, etc. but I believe that the real question is HOW do we teach our children/today’s youth or single individuals how to reach this goal? What is it that broken individuals need to recognize a cycle when it is brewing in their lives and how do they prevent it (emotionally, mentally, and physically) from coming to life? Although my child made me have an awakening like no other and am a better person because of her, I believe that if I just knew HOW to get through my emotional and physical trauma, I could have looked to marriage and a healthy family dynamic as one of my goals. I would have known that I could get through my hardships without continuing this cycle. Now the goal is to have a strong and healthy relationship with her father as a co parent. Although the father of my child also comes from a similar background as me, we recognize that building a relationship with each other from a far is a step up from what we grew up with. Prayers and blessings to all of us. We will be better from these discussions and our experiences.🤍
Love this video, I'm from Brazil, single motherhood is an issue for every skin tone. Kids grow up without a regular family and become more vulnerable to be on the streets exposed to drug dealers and violence.
“Marrying women to government” very strong point.
I saw your comment right when she said that lol and yes very good point made by Ms Owens🙌
Agree
@Jazmin Dorbolo
That's how the nuclear family was destroyed.... The destruction of family created a community easier to control. Then votes can easily swayed (proven in the black democrat community).
@@SuccessfulladiesSoftLife
Yeah right.... The black American community is proof of what replacing the father with government control can do.
@Jazmin Dorbolo
That's a damn shame... Sorry to hear that happened to you. Your mom was really willing to put you in a bad situation, to keep government checks coming in??? That's selling you out isn't it????
Broken families makes crime more likely. Crime makes broken families more likely. Seems like a feedback loop. Throw drugs in and it is mess.
So true and deep.
Women dint teach children a certain to few life. Single moms teach child on how life should be if you are a woman that’s why wen men grow up and act like their mothers they don’t get the sane reaction...
In the "black community " it's not about broken families when men and women are having multiple child out of wedlock that's the problem.
Yes, but elites buy more and use more illegal drugs. Drugs aren't coming across the border to solely supply the poor. Ok sir?!
@@brandonhanner5525 Okay, good point, but I did not say what you are refuting. Evil is evil, poison is poison. I don't see an argument here.
I am glad I had both my parents.thank God
I feel so intelligent every time I hear her speak. This was really good.
@Andre Hpunkt because she's learning something
for the women who haven’t have kids yet don’t allow any man to put a baby in when they are not willing to married you and stay with you for
as long as they live.
Well said
Correct. Marriage is key.
True, and also use plan B, because you also have the power to stop
@@dmcneal08 Jesus created the institution of marriage He’s the foundation ❤️
And know the husband very well. If he has a problem addiction or mental illness, don’t get pregnant because you don’t want that kind of father for your children right? And if he has lied to you and has mental illness your child can get that too.. so we women should be careful! We choose the father of our children not our children.
At some point everyone has take responsibility...
The scary thing is that some will only take responsibility when they stand in front of Jesus Christ, to be judged.
Truth!!!!!
Im not taking responsibility for people having oow babies. Especially, since these people do so knowing it harms our kids and community.
@Neutraliser Jan -O-O- Since the 1980's we have never STOPPED hearing about BM having OOW babies. For that matter, we haven't stopped hearing about anything else wrong with them (real or imagined), either. All of that is a distraction from PERSONAL responsibility, which is what needs to happen--and it's what this original comment is all about.
Little Sones I meant what I said EVERYONE!! Keeping living those don’t that will pay the price.
People hate her because she speaks the truth!
Exactly
Love to see a great, open discussion between two very intelligent and self aware people. No fighting, just a clear willingness and desire for communication.
I'm a married woman and I don't have kids (yet). Common themes with the many single mothers I know are: had kids too young and couldn't sustain relationship with father, pregnancy from casual sex/man not interested in relationship or baby, kid with a man that wasn't properly vetted, kid in relationship without proper commitment/marriage, kid in already failing relationship. It boils down to POOR CHOICES being the rule, not the rare exception. Women can scream and cry about the men all they want but at the end of the day YOU have the womb and choose the amount of protection you provide your womb. I'm 29 and I've never had an "oops" pregnancy because I've been responsible the entire time. Women need to take more accountability for the men they pick to lay down with and the precautions they took or did not take, period.
Amen!!! Same thing for me, I didn’t get pregnant till after I got married and was emotionally and financially ready.
Men too honestly, you cannot put the responsibility on women alone. I agree that because women have the womb and uterus they need to guard it. But dont engage with a man who refuses to play his part in preventing pregnancy.
Don’t get divorced
Wish I could like this a million times 👍🏼
I agree with you. And like I said people don’t take men out of the home.
I got married early cause I got pregnant early
And my marriage worked for 19 years
That’s was my culture
You got her pregnant you marry her
And my husband and I loved each other
I don't know where i would be without my dad.

Man , this woman is smart , obviously she highly talented
I love this discussion! I’m happy you got her on your show, I really appreciate hearing her outlooks 😀
The bitter truth is that people need to stop having children they can't care for financially, emotionally, psychologically, and so on. It doesn't matter if both parents are together or not. I'm in Africa, where almost all children are conceived within marriage and things suck here way more than there. People are just procreating because they want to spread their genes without thinking about the children being born.
Noo! Be very grateful when your raised by both parents. Marriage institutions is the basis of a strong community. What your complaining of now, is poor policies and unjust leadership in Africa. Stop confusing issues. It's never okay to encourage single parenthood. You will understand this one day
People just procreating is a lack of understanding, poor education, and idleness. All in all this is an issue different from single parenthood which needs a different approach to resolve
@@edlermaro6700 And let me guess, you think the poor policies and bad leaders were raised be single parents.
I still stand my ground that people should not procreate (WETHER THEY ARE SINGLE OR MARRIED) unless they are willing and able to provide for their children financially, emotionally, psychologically, and in every other way.
No, poor policies and bad leaders is due to African collective tendency of lacking order, direction and stability. Now this can be due to ignorance, hence quality of father's needs alot to be desired. In the end Africa, like Africa we need alot of searching to get to know ourselves, our history and how to use it to our advantage to bring development.
@@edlermaro6700 If you want to be honest with yourself you will see that single parenting is not the main issue. It's unprepared, unwilling and unready parents that is the real problem, and it exists in both single parenting and double parenting.
How many financially, emotionally, mentally and psychologically stable, healthy and successful single parents do you see raising wayward children.
Let's be honest when you have all the above qualities and possess the desire and means to raise a responsible and useful child, then it doesn't matter whether you are alone or with a partner, you are most likely going to raise great child.
If two or more terrible, unprepared, irresponsible, selfish, and financial, emotionally, psychologically, and mentally unstable/ difficient people raise a child then the higher the amount of such people raising that child, the more messed up the child will turn out.
We will have to reach a point when we realize that the quality of parenting a child receives is more important than the quantity of parenting he/she receives.
I know a lot of women and even men who stay in terrible relationships and marriages just so their children can grow up with both parents. Children raised in such toxic environments mostly turn out terribly, either become toxic and abusive themselves or getting into relationships with toxic and abusive partners because that's what they grew up with.
If 50 terrible people raise a child, that child will turn out 50 times worse. But if 1 good person raise a child that child will come out 1 time better, and vice versa.
In Africa, there is an adage that says that 'It's not just the parents that raise the child but the whole community'. That's what when a child misbehaves any grown up (not only his parents) can correct and even punish the child and the parents will thank that person when they find out. This is why widows, widowers, banished criminals and other single parents could still raise proper, responsible and successful children.
It is modernization and religion that have divided and broken us here in Africa.
Thank God for self-awareness... Single motherhood was never part of the plan. I'm blessed to be able to see my daughter, who is a stamp of me but with a loving, present, masculine father by her side.
Salute!!!!!
A true rarity more valuable than a diamond
Amen. I'm married and this is what I'm most looking forward to when we have kids, raising our child who is a reflection of both of us, together. I can't wait to see my husband as a father, he will be amazing ☺
@@DarthFurie Don't get self righteous, wifey poo. Your man could be out with his side piece right now, and you'd never know. He can get rid of you for a newer model any time. Keep your bags packed!
I grew up without a father, and I had two kids in high school graduated on time. Moved from Guam to the United States just me and my two kids. I bought my own house my own car everything I have I bought on my own and it’s brand new. Now I’m married and have a total of three kids so that’s just bs. You make your decisions in your life you choose the kind of lifestyle you want.
The stats show you are "more likely". It's not an absolute. You made good choices in life and should be commended for that.
Your an outlier , your experience is not a majority. Modern people don’t have your work ethic or understanding and to be honest if they did they would more likely fail. Your a rare breed and if you have kids I hope you want them to marry them have kids
Amen!!!!!

Some of y’all have clogged ears and just hear what you want to hear. She said it was one of the largest factors not the ONLY factor.
That selective hearing will be the death of some of you.
He’s an idiot.
I watched the entire interview she said it was the LARGEST factors and said it several times. She didn't say one of. She spent most of the interview talking about welfare.
She never bought up the war on drugs or anything related because it would make the republicans look bad.
It's a disingenuous debate. Owens is very aware that the war on drugs disproportionately affected black people.
She rarely makes another point. You're whipped
@@jassustar2121 No need to attack my character ma’am, I was simply making a clarification. Have a blessed day.
Why is it titled “single motherhood” and not “absent/opting-out fatherhood”?
To invoke a certain emotion & get people to click obviously.
interesting.
@Ne Ws FACT!!😊😊😊
B/c single motherhood is now praised as courageous and noble
Bruddah from single faada, the faada is to blame, they just dont care
Hey man, I mean this with the upmost of respect this is the first of your videos that I have seen. This dialogue was great and you are very well spoken and really well informed making great analogies. I’m not sure what it was but it felt like there was almost a sense of nervousness or something in your voice. Still a wonderful dynamic and a new follower :)
This is painful to hear but it’s fact. I’m a single mom that fight to cover both roles. I did not want to be a single mother but it happened. I was raised with both parent. It’s painful for me to know my son won’t have both. I can only do my best. I’m proud to say so far I’m doing well

You got this ❤️
My mother was was a single mom, not by choice as my father died of cancer when I was young. Let me tell you, growing up was no picnic. Our family has lots of generational trauma due to poverty.
Long story short: you gotta choose your partner wisely, a toxic woman who fights a man from seeing his kids is only gonna continue the trend, and a man who’s lazy and superficial should never be on a woman’s mind to sleep with much-more marry. In addition, older wiser men need to teach our young men about core family values and the importance of taking their time pursue self development (work) and growth before pussy.
that one again bro lemme tell you this, the psychology of a good woman when she has a child for you is that this is a blessing and this gonna make y’all relationship stronger. If she sees this anything else, she’s no good son! Either it’s a money thing to her or she tryna lock u in. But the bright side is that it ain’t the end for you, you still got the choice to stay or leave but make sure that kid knows it has a father that loves em.
You’re right. Somehow the narrative is that ALL these mothers have no flaws and every break up is the Man being irresponsible and nonchalantly walking away.
Close but not exactly imo. Its correct and wise for older men to tell younger men to focus on self development first but its not realistic to think high testosterone young men are going to remain virgins or not become infatuated with women. The thing is to reiterate the consequences, and the shame for messing up, especially to the females. When the young females aren't giving it up the battle is already won. All strong societies seek to control the young females first and foremost. Then everything else falls into place. Men will work, save, study, climb any mountain and fight any war if that society says, "you must do this to qualify for a woman". Thats why Feminism is really BS and social engineering to weaken and decrease institutions and populations.
@Goddess Phoenix Arises
Please offer proof about gen X and before. Im gen X. What I saw was women BW in my case accepting Feminism. The gen of BW that came of age in the 60's changed. My grandparents generation argued with the generations that came of age in the 60s, 70's, 80's. The grandparents got old is what happened. The generattions of young BW of 60s, 70's and 80's argued, ignored and shouted " You don't need no man on nationwide TV year after year, or they giggled in grandmas face, " Times have changed Mama". I watched this. BM didn't have any media to protest on and some old school guys slapped, shamed or even disowned their daughters. But the young women arrogantly sometimes, stuck to their new Feminist convictions.
Dog Star I think you didn’t understand what I was trying to convey my brother. What was the intended thought is that your education and self development should never be before pussy. It is impossible to ask that heterosexual young men completely forget the opposite sex bro... they aren’t robots. Besides that, self development is just as is; for one to be better and lead a better life, if a woman or women follow that’s on him. But when as a man we seek to empower ourselves we take away that bargaining chip from women especially those that wanna come along for what you worked hard to achieve and not contribute a thing.
Im from a Puerto Rican family and my father was the only one that stood by my mother...they were married 49 years before he died...Both my aunts (My mothers sisters) had their husbands leave them but Pop stayed...It wasnt a perfect marriage but he stayed...Thank you Pop wherever you are

Same story with me, but I come from a black family. God bless my father.

This topics needs to be discussed more! Good work!
Great interview. Great conversation supported by facts.
As a single father , the only thing I've realized is that it's so hard to do on your own. Either you work alot to support your family ( now no one is home ) , or you struggle financially. We need balance in our lives , including taking care of ourselves first, so we can be the best possible parents to our kids.
Your statement is REAL!!! Thanks

This was so perfectly stated I had to comment on it
I love men that raise their children alone
I’m watching Candice Owens and I’m trying to understand why the black community hates her so much? Is it solely because she supports Trump or has she said other reckless things in the past ? I find her refreshing
I actually think secular White Liberals hate her more. She is challenging their narrative that Blacks can only vote for the Dems who want control over them. There are some of the Marxist Black groups who hate her because she is challenging their narrative as well.
It's because she's full of crap. She talks only about welfare because the democrats supports it. But she never talks about the war on drugs and mass incarceration because her Republicans supported and spearheaded it in the 70s and 80s.
She's fake and her agenda is supporting those who she gets a paycheck from. That's it.
She's not helping black people nor does she care.
No one cares if blacks vote Republicans or claim to be conservative. No one has to think the same.
She makes that more of an issue then need be. Again has she ever once talked about any negatives trump or her party does? Or does she sit up there and blame the democrats for every single problem going in in the black community?
@@MikeBNumba6 How hold are you? The war on drugs started because in the 1980's, US cities were gang war murder fest. Go look at murder rates. The Crime bill that was passed in the 1990's was passed By Bill Clinton and signed with both Democrat and Republican support. The issue was not the Drug War itself and the gang wars in LA/Chicago/ an other areas, it was how low level drug offenses like possession of marijuana and sentencing laws for those type drug crimes which btw, Trump actually in his sentencing Reform bill he just passed this year actually started to address.
The Cocaine/Heroin/Crack drug part of the Crime bill were needed and were correct. Locking people up for 5 to 10 years for possession of weed was the problem where in my view you are correct. But as I said, Bill Clinton passed it and neither Bush 2 or Obama did anything to change it. Trump did.
@@palermotrapani9067 yup Clinton passed the bill. before him Reagan was going full force with it and mass incarcerations expanding on what JFK did.
Who were the people affected by it? Blacks and minorities or whites?
Unfair sentences for weed and crack. That's what truly hurt the black community. Not welfare where a shit ton of whites are on it as well.
I have no problem acknowledging Clinton passed the crime bill, but Candice acts as if the republican party had absolutely nothing to do with mass incarceration. Hell it doesn't even exist according to her
@@MikeBNumba6 Well if they were into heavy drug dealing of Cocaine or Heroin or Crack Cocaine, I could really care less. They belong in jail.
Those are not the type of people I am going to get up set about for being in jail for a long time. They belong there. Why would you defend that when this type of stuff is largely still the main cause of the out of control murder rates in the Black precincts in areas like Chicago, LA, Saint Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Atlanta, etc, etc.
It is the pot possession crimes and people locked up for 3 strikes your out for possession of pot who got put in jail for 5 to 10 years that I think were unjust sentencing laws.
On the sentencing for Cocaine/Crack/Heroine drug crimes, I am 100% in support of it regardless of who passed it.
I never thought I would be saying this but Im starting to like Candice. She actually has some great points and we actually have some of the same thinking on a lot of issues. Ive just heard so many bad things about her and just never had an opportunity to hear her talk. Shes very smart actually.
The reason why she is hated amongst the black community is because she is not scared to about the issues that are plaguing black Americans.
We as black Americans( including black people who claim to be Christians) tend to sweep these problems under the rug and keep doing the same thing over and expect to get somewhere in life.
Really good conversation. No emotions just facts and discourse. Need more of this
You can't blame the government for single motherhood. Men and Women just gotta step up, wear protection, suppress your lust and choose your partner carefully
Especially the choosing part!! Coz that can be controlled at individual level
@@wanjiruchelagat6565 💯💯💯💯
The single motherhood problem has alot to do with what the government supported. Not refuting your ultimate point of us being better but the US government supported programs that destroyed the black family. To me they don't get a pass. Your absolutely right we need to make better choice and live in honesty but these companies and organizations hands are just as dirty.
She’s saying that the government gave moms an incentive to be single moms. Even people who loves each other the most can fall outta love. So yes the government played a huge role.
Government played/plays a huge role from the labor market to housing to schools to childcare www.epi.org/blog/black-womens-labor-market-history-reveals-deep-seated-race-and-gender-discrimination/ and shes painting with a very broad brush in one area and ignoring the elephant
Last time I checked, all the single mothers had help to make their children. These children have Fathers. These fathers go on to make multiple children with multiple women. Who's talking about that?
True! But then why would the women choose to have sex with that caliber of man. Yes some men will hide their children but there are a lot of instances where the woman is well aware.
Both are to blame in my opinion.
Someone said there should be a law limiting how many bms a man can have 🤣🤣🤣 it was on a topic of abortion laws 😭

I like her but why does she loveTrump?
@@soltaniism I dont know if she genuinely does love Trump or the fact she doesnt hate him is misconstrued as love for him. I think she just appreciates what he did for the political party rather than love him.
@@soltaniism this question right here is why so many people remain ignorant. Instead of taking the message, you worry about who she likes. If you listened to trump, you may actually like him also.
@@soltaniism because he represents the interest of the people, like her.

I used to respect her until she start spouting some bs about the Isreal/Palestine issue. They don't like Muslims clearly even though we actually live the facts their preaching anyway.
The biggest privilege I have is the fact that I grew up with both mom and dad in the house
Me too. Never take that for granted. The two people who brought you into the world should be there to bring you up in it.
same
I had neither parent. Raised by my grandparents. I do alright. Although, it would’ve been cool to have two loving parents.
My dad told me that I couldn't go on a date until I can afford to pay for us both
He’s right ..
I understand that what he was trying to say if you going on a date you should be at least able to pay for your date not you pay for yours and she pay for her, also this was in the early 90's and I was in my teens which I appreciate because it taught me not to rely on others, but feel free when you go on a date to pay for your and she pay for hers
I was raised in a single parent household of 5 kids. My dad passed away before I was born and my mom had to drag all 5of us from poor rural China to HK so she can get help from extended families. We lived in 200 sq ft government ran housing unit with a bunch of gangster just 5 units away. Although I was the only one with post secondary education, 3 of us are business owners and two of my sisters had high level management jobs. The only form of welfare my mom received is low rent and cheap primary & secondary education for the kids and that's in the 60's as well. Asian sense of families extended well beyond just the 6 of us but included all our cousins growing up. I think it really helped.
Thank you for such an honest and informative debate!

This intelligent conversation is so refreshing
Because of my dad, I graduated a 4 year college debt free and I didn’t have to struggle with student debt like most people. My dad sacrificed A LOT for us. It’s crazy.
That's beautiful!
He must have stayed single lol
Daniel Rierson no he is married to my mom. 35 years and counting. He just has always been a frugal man. Saved and piled up cash for decades and I’ve never known him to own more than a pair of shoes at a time. He is super frugal and only spends money on things he deems an investment
I grew up with a dad who was not present. It had a profound impact on my choices I made as a teenager. It took me a long time to claw my way out of poverty. At some point you have to stop playing the victim card and stand on your own two feet
Great convo!
This was awesome. I need more of this .
We live in a society that lacks fathers, not men but fathers, fathers bring stability, direction and order in society
This is why we lack order and direction and stability
This is why we need to completely dismantle the remnants from the war on drugs which splits apart black families. It's created a generation of children without father figures who then become poor parents themselves. And you can't do better if you never learned any better. We need to break the cycle. Vote for the leaders that are for prison reform, police reform, and for community programs that will help teach our next generation how to be responsible, educated, and empowered in their lives.
Completely agreed, kids tend do better with two parent households. But feminist groups and BLM want to dismantle the idea of the nuclear family. BLM’s website even states that as part of their mission statement. So odd
Right,a father and a dad is 2 different things.
Amen all men see is sex and money I’m sorry just those two entities will leave many children without fathers and dads and a man figure period they don’t think about the children first
And God=Father...
His idea for a tv show like Madmen but with a view on black America making a transition beginning in the 60s is a brilliant idea. Someone, make it happen

yes amazing :D
I love Candace & it’s refreshing to see others from our community give her space to share in their discussions. Salute.
Indeed
This was such a beautiful interview/convo. We need more of this. I agree with you.
She scapegoats to the racist crowd too much. She takes everything negative from the black community and try to make money out of it.. Have you ever seen Candace speak up against racism or say anything positive about the black community ❓ She thinks blm is a terrorist organization... What world are you guys living in❓
that is not what I see on personals ads, it is ALWAYS a white woman with a black man. black women are simply not as beautiful, starting with nappy hair, as white women so they use white women instead.
Great debate and even though i lean right i wish we could all have these kind of debate/ discussions! Well done 🙏
I love that we are discussing this it’s shedding the light on real issues that need to be talked about that we avoid. I am a single mother and trust it was not by choice
Hey sista! It's even worst if you love your black women but with single mother hood being so high. 75% the odds are against us that love sistas but come on this makes Becky a better deal and that's sad.
Also African-American families were very religious, back in the 60s as well. That Also could be another reason...😔
Aren’t they still?
DeathsXMistress i’m a member of a Baptist church, and no, not as much, over the past 40 years. Pretty much goes for all Americans in inner cities not as much religion as they used to be
Today we are more pagan
I agree. That foundation in God holds families together as well as teaches some basic ways of being. Thou shalt not kill or steal etc. these aren’t teachings in the home anymore, for anyone not just black families.
Today our children are receiving their morals from filthy music and videos.
Imagine being a kid with two parents who obviously hate each other, or are in an abusive relationship and are only staying together to avoid the social stigma of divorce. Unfortunately that kid is not seeing a great example of marriage.
I think we need to make sure our children have great influences in their lives, so if there's 2 parents, they BOTH have to be good parents to make a difference
I agree. It's not just welfare that changed the family dynamics of black families. Black women became fed up with being abused so they kicked their men out or left.
Exactly. I was going to comment this until I saw yours. Thank you! This doesn't get addressed often. People forget there were no laws on the books for domestic violence until the early 1980s. Domestic violence wasn't illegal...it was considered a "family issue". A man could do whatever he wanted to his wife and children and the wife had no recourse legally. I grew up hearing so many instances of husbands beating their wives. It disgusted me to know these women couldn't do anything. You have to remember that back in the day there were no shelters and women had lots of kids. Back in the day, you had families of 8, 9, 10. That was common. Women didn't leave because there was nowhere to go with 6, 7, 8 kids. So, I think those kids grew up to not be interested in wanting to get married. That part is understandable. Unfortunately, the problem is that these people still had kids...but just didn't get married and that didn't help the situation either.
@@lavernaphifer159 EXACTLY!
A lot of that happened in the 50’s, 60’s, and during Jim Crowe. It has a major affect on what people are willing to endure just to say they’re married.

Im loving your chanel, very good opinions i think you trully see or talk about the full picture, and when im saying this is because i saw today 3 of your videos so, keep doing that, pretty good
As a mother who happens to be single (that’s how I refer to myself). I was married to my child’s Father. Right after I found out I was pregnant I realized I created life with a person that I was not best suited with. After therapy, a lot of forgiveness and healing. I have come to realize that a lot of us are making decisions trying to heal the broken places and we are so focused on the end goal of what we think we need to fix what is broken, that we forget all the other variables like the person we are doing it with. I think men and women want to be loved and we take that desperation and make such reckless decisions. I urge anyone who thinks marriage & having children will fix something or make you happy to seek therapy first. Once you heal in therapy and realize you have everything you need to be happy, you will attract people into your life who you are meant to love and create a life with.
I agree with Candace that there is a ying and a yang and both should be equally celebrated in each roles that men and women have. There is a disruption in this balance.
Rugga dipset keeping you lifted in prayer, clearly you are disturbed. Have a blessed day.
I feel you, it’s self love at the end of the day and we as black folk struggle with that for systemic reasons. It’s all good we all trying to be better and do better for our children.
I couldn’t agree more, we have a lot to overcome because of generational curses.

@@Solaris501 Too many soft men in society that can't just say NO sometimes. Yes men. As the saying goes, hardship creates strong men, strong men create good societies, good societies create weak men and weak men create hardships.
A lot of discipline that was necessary which we hated but now see the value of. Those times even my mother or grandad will insist I study instead of watching a movie or going out to party at night, now I can download every single last one of those movies including those that were made long before I was born.
Now I sit in my well airconditioned house (every room), single man, enjoying my household while my colleagues are out there, working in the sun or waking up very early every day to go to office. All I do, is power on my computer in my home office, sit for a couple of hours doing an entire day's work in matter of hours and having the rest of the day to do all I want.
My heart breaks for the people who grew up without a father. That would break me, even as a grown man - I can't imagine how that would affect a child.
Thanks to this convo, I'm subscribing. This is how to solve problems - by respectfully hashing it out and clarifying things. I guarantee both parties walked away with more knowledge.
Anybody that grew up with parents in the 60s know this. Many women were in miserable relationships they just didn't break up.
Society conditioned women to preserve their image of continuing the homemaker status irrespective of how harsh they were treated.
The 'keep her barefoot and pregnant syndrome'. It gave men all the power to do as they pleased and still be labeled 'a good man' because he was in the home with his family.
Anyone old enough to remember the sitcom Murphy Brown? It marked the start of looking at single motherhood as something brave and to be celebrated instead of something sad and to be avoided.
Does tacitly approve of fornication.
I thought same thing yesterday
Murphy Brown was a masculine looking and behaving white women. "Baby-Boom" was a movie but again these were average-looking white women that were already fairly well-to-do becoming mothers after amassing wealth. These types of shows and movies don't compare because these black women aren't high earning when they become mothers.
@@mbloom2275 exactly. Single parenting is so glamorized in the media. Women with nice homes and perfect figures saying oh how busy they are with a big smile. Well adjusted kids who want for nothing. The realities are far different. We are currently facing a generation of teens who were born to teenagers at higher rates than ever in history. We are about to see exactly how that turns out. Maybe then women will cool it with the sleep around like guys can crap.
I was raised by a single dad. People often overlook the other side. I can see why though.

My home girl was too i actually never heard her til this day talk about her mom ever
single parents are a problem, but on the other hand. Being a child of parents that constantly fight is problematic as well. In history married people werent always happy with the relationship, but divorcing was wrong and people would feel ashamed of it. So most of the time people stayed in unhappy marriages.
