    It takes guts to look into your ancestry, I was scared to death i'd find war criminals or inbreeding in my family tree.

For the first time in my life I felt like I was from a worthy stock of humans and that I should try to pass my genetics down for future generations.

    As addressed at the end, The most important thing is that black American families were stronger as a unit. There was no pervasive stereotypical culture of growing up in single parent households as it is today. Not a bunch of "baby daddies" and "baby mommas" who became encouraged by government politicians to either abort their children or struggle on welfare payouts. This is a new plantation to keep blacks segregated and politically dependent.
