Since we do not live in a vacuum, this concerns all of us. (Especially since minority Americans vote repeatedly to take more and more earnings from their fellow Americans.)
It is sickening that for 40 years running these American children are being brought up under such horrific crime, education, and political circumstances.
It should be unacceptable to all...but what can be done?

Blacks are 91% for Obama’s “redistribution” of middle class money, so it is indeed a problem.

You put a ring on her finger and work your butt off to provide for her and your children.
Shocking concept, but for those men (not just black men) who do it, the more successful they are individually.

If they have a 72 percent unwed mothers rate they aren’t struggling very hard.
To: roses of sharon
It doesn’t sound like they are struggling at all with it.

If the NAACP would decide to sincerely tackle the issues of high levels of black illegitimacy and high drop out rates it would do more to improve things for African Americans than anything the organization has ever done. Don't hold your breath though.

It should be unacceptable to all...but what can be done?Bill Cosby tried to address this issue, among others, not too long ago and was promptly vilified. So, I guess nothing can be done.
It just shows how much Sharpton,Jackson et al really care about their own.

One thing that should be noted is that the out-of-wedlock birth RATE (births per 100,000) for blacks is lower than it is for Hispanics and not enormously higher than whites. What is high is the PERCENTAGE of out-of-wedlock births due to the low rate of births to married black Americans, which is an average of around 0.8 children per married couple. If married blacks would have more children, the 73% statistic would drop considerably.

I heard that the percentage of black mothers who are unwed is much lower than the percentage of black babies born to unwed mothers. The unwed black mothers have far more babies than married black mothers.

The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. But in today’s PC world, any White who talks about the problem is branded a racist, and few Blacks are willing to talk about it - preferring to blame the problem on Whites.

Since we do not live in a vacuum, this concerns all of us. No doubt. Look at the white illegitimacy rate -- 4% in 1965, 29% in 2010. Cultural disintegration.

The article is a long one, and many in it are very concerned, and some quoted in the article do “get it”.

Well, it appears that what we can do is stop whatever it is we have been doing since the rates have been climbing steadily since the 1960s. I believe the black unwed birthrate was about 23% in 1960 and the white rate was about 4%. Since then we have made black fathers (and white fathers for that matter) irrelevant. And what has happened?
