On The Demise of Fatherhood
First Things ^ | Jun 17, 2009 | Andrew Peach

It is news to no one that, in the Western world in general and the United States in particular, the call to fatherhood is being heeded less and less. Anyone unfortunate enough to pick up a newspaper is painfully aware that one-third of American children live without any father and that, in many inner cities, the out-of-wedlock birth rate exceeds seventy percent. Also well known, though rarely acknowledged, is the devastation that such a lack of paternity has wreaked on children and society more generally

And the reason? The left became the black nations “father” by confiscating trillions from taxpayers for the purchase of the black vote. Of course, this can’t be said in PC company.

I'm not so sure I believe this fully. In speaking with blacks, listening to them in the media, etc. I've come to the conclusion that their vote was already bought simply by 'color'. This phenomena mostly goes for uneducated, undereducated, and the educated.

The confiscation/taxation/giveaway carrot was put out there to get the non-black vote. Those welfare/union mentality, whites, and the liberal/elites (using not money, but feelings and liberalist ideology).
