All rights reserved. In John Scanzoni's study of stable black families, the majority of parents attended church a. once a month. During slavery, white people based their barbaric system of slavery, domination, and control on the belief that all black people were a. insatiable sexual beasts. The prevalence of family violence within African American families appears to be higher than in the white population because a. there are more single mothers and absent fathers in the black community. Children who are less valued by society are abused more.
Black families lack strong parental discipline.
African American children are twice as likely as other children to be abused. Abuse rates for African American children are between 30 and 50 percent. Abused children have some realization that they are being violated because of a. effective education programs about abuse and its harmful effects. Research has shown that a significant proportion of black girls are abused by their a. mothers' male friends. It's hard for me to imagine him treating you that way.
