Excellent post.
There’s something about a 70% plus illegitimacy rate that doesn’t make good citizens.
The Great Society has done a fine job, completely destroying the black family structure in two generations.
1964-2013 is 49 years, many people have kids in that community (if not aborted at the current 50% rate) from 14-17 years old.
If Great Granny had a baby @ 16 in 1964, then Granny in 1980, then Mommy in 1996 and a new one born last year, 2012, as the current generation...you could have five generations in those years.

All using the cornucopia of Social Services (food stamps, Section 8, AFDC, Medicaid, ObamaPhones, utility subsidy, etc.)
Think about the opportunity cost of spending $30K per head, via a Government worker (social worker, Social Security office, etc.), so you spend $100,000 in someone earnings to support ONE of these people, much less 5.
Someone taxed at 50%, plus the cost of Government worker to dole it out is $100K in earnings...
This is not solely a racial thing, there are plenty of people who have gotten into this situation, some even in my in-laws family (4 kids, 4 dads, trailer, drugs, pit bulls, fat, tattoos, drunks).
The 70% illegitimacy rate you refer to is nationwide, and a weighted average...I heard a black minister on the conservative radio station here whose congregation was in Oakland, CA and he said in the “inner city” say Baltimore, Detroit, East St. Louis, Compton, SE DC, etc. it was closer to 85%!
There is more money to be made from keeping the father out of the home, so that’s what happens.
Sad, and a real reason we are broken as a nation, not just financially, but morally, too.
