THE ENGINEERED COLLAPSE OF THE BLACK FAMILY
How a Nation Built a System to Break the Black FamilyBy Cedrick Carter
Length1h 12m
About this audiobook
Do you ever wonder why the Black family is dysfunctional? What if it was never broken — just deliberately taken apart?
This book is not a complaint. It is a case file. Through documented laws, declassified government records, and hard data, Cedrick Carter traces every mechanism used to systematically dismantle Black households in America — from welfare policies designed to push fathers out, to drug laws written with a racial gap built right in, to the media playbook that programmed a generation for failure.
Layer by layer, the evidence stacks up into one undeniable picture: what looks like a cultural problem is actually an engineered one.
The receipts are all here.
