The breakdown of the black community in order to maintain slavery began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river.
I even believe if you're killing a team you shouldn't stop. You should respect your opponents enough to play 100 percent the whole time. And by the same token if you're getting killed by the other team you should never quit.
