Remember how Dan Quayle was lambasted for talking about a TV show which had a single mother??
Ever since that time, there is virtual silence on the issue of single motherhood. We are not allowed to discuss that subject. We are not allowed to say that children need fathers.
Black culture has devolved into a baby mama culture. Other ethnic groups are moving in the same sad direction.
We hear about black young men commit disproportionate amounts of crime. I wonder if we take race out of the equation, as to how much crime and gang violence is committed by young men who have had no father raising them?? That could be a very interesting study.
I think studies like that have been done. Look at the prison population.
The problem isn't just the absent father. It's the crazy mother. I wonder how many of these women are mentally stable. They end up in a series of relationships -- ultimately driving the men away.
This is not to imply that all single mothers have a screw loose. But I do notice recurrent personality issues. They seem to gravitate toward the Democratic party.
Fortunately or unfortunately the DNC made a lot of missteps. One is allowing these kind of people to take the stage, essentially the tail wagging the dog. When Michelle Obama brought up the topics of race & gender (having a woman president follow a black one) I knew it was all about identity politics.
Not one of the people I saw there (at least on TV) looked in any way conventional or normal.
