IMMORALITY IS A CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
As late as the 60s--even right here in Joliet--the black community was not characterized by people committing, homosexuality, sex with menstruating females, suicide, drug use, pedophilia, disrespect of parents and other elderly people....and I can remember how we as teenagers condemned that as taboo. So that type of activity is not in our cultural DNA. We have integrated with a mentality that is not of us, and are following ways that are not ours.
Immorality, like AIDS is contagious. We cannot overlook the fact that AIDS started off as a disease among homosexual Caucasians--but like immorality it is contagious and it did become an epidemic in the black community.
