Vital Signs - The Pulse of Black America - Episode 1

This is the first video in a ten part series, in this episode Morpheus states his hypothesis about what is really wrong with Black America today. Morpheus breaks down in great detail the root causes of our problems as black people in America, and provides many detailed facts to support his hypothesis. Poor black male parenting and poor black male education are the root causes of all of the problems with black people in America today. This piece was written and performed by Morpheus, the musical score was composed and engineered by Optimus Prime.

great video,I liked your research but you fail to factor in a few things. With black women having a 78% out of wedlock rate,one must ask these question. Do black women even want husbands? and where are you holding black women accountable? men approach women but women choose men.

@whitebitchnigga First and foremost I did not fail to mention anything. This piece had everything it was supposed to have. The responsibility that we have as men to provide our culture and our families with leadership stands on its own, and does not have to be discussed in the context of our women. Who approaches who does not matter. Who is more to blame does not matter. What is important is that we embrace and accept were we are as black men so that we can begin the growth process.

Is there any way we could get a manuscript or the sources for the statistics? The information you have given is what I think needs to be more widespread so that we can change the future of Black America. Thank you for sharing this information.

[marcusjones2000]

the links to most of the sources are in the description of the video.
