Nowhere mentioned in the article, is the break-down by race.
It’s an important issue.
Certain segments of our society are much worse than others with regard to this issue. So what do the presenters of this information do? They refuse to address the worse players in our society.
Then they try to tell us, despite this, that they really want to focus on the issue, so we’ll change for the better.
Sure.
Nor is age. Biggest increase is in older mothers. Late 20s and up. These aren’t teens who aren’t thinking straight. These are adults who are planning on single parenting.
Their ancestors may have come from shithole nations.
Surely the later generations will do better!
The article also fails to address the role of the illegal drug culture undermining the family. There is a complex set of forces which creates a culture that abandons the primary structure of society. Drugs are a quest for euphoria that destroys everything in its wake. This epidemic should be fought with all the resources in our reach.
It is time to end the use of our education system as a market place for illegal drugs and a source of girls to use as sexual outlets. It is time for students to see their education as more important than the education on the street that teaches drug marketing.
Absolute numbers by race should also be looked at. There are plenty of white folks wth the same behavior patterns. It has more to with socioeconomic status than race.
