It started before LBJ’s Great Society. I had a liberal maiden aunt who had been in the state legislature. She had a black servant and companion who told her in the 1950s that the state’s support for unwed mothers was destroying the institution of marriage in her community. A young woman who was unhappy in her family could get pregnant, have her own apartment, and a livable income.
Was he the man who committed suicide with a bolt action rifle shooting himself in the back several times?
LBJ used to unzip his drawers and wave his enormous willy at Jackie O! - that would set her all a giggle
Thanks for the info. I’ll keep an ear open.
Interesting, Don Lemon reported a fact!
Ramped up with the so called great society. LBJ got on thing right. He’d had those ****+++ voting democrat for years.
They’re accused of acting white.
[1] Data from U.S. Census reports reveal that between 1880-1960, married households consisting of two-parent homes were the most widespread form of African-American family structures. Although the most popular, married households decreased over this time period. Single-parent homes, on the other hand, remained relatively stable until 1960; when they rose dramatically. A study of 1880 family structures in Philadelphia, showed that three-quarters of Black families were nuclear families, composed of two parents and children. In New York City in 1925, 85% of kin-related Black households had two parents. In 1991, 68% of Black children were born outside of marriage. In 2011, 72% of Black babies were born to unmarried mothers. In 2015, 77% of Black babies were born to unmarried mothers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_family_structure
[2] From 1980 thru 2008 93% of black victims were killed by blacks. (https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf)
[3] By almost every measure African Americans socioeconomic conditions were better in 1970 than in 1940....Despite these economic and social advances black crime began to escalate markedly in the late 1960s and continued to play a major role in the multi-decade crime boom that followed. (https://www.hoplofobia.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2018-African-American-Crime-Rates.pdf)
[4] homicide-victimization rates for black men were 3.9 times the national average and that 52 percent of all known homicide victims were black (2017 data)In 2018, where the homicide victim was black, the suspected killer also was 88 percent of the time. From 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by other African Americans...From 2000 to 2015, the mean African-American homicide-victimization rate, adjusted for age, was 20.1 per 100,000. That’s more than three times the Hispanic rate of 6.4 (despite disadvantages comparable to those of blacks) and over seven times the average white rate, 2.7. Moreover, as already noted, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of the killers of black murder victims were other African Americans.

Which is a result of culture, not color. . Which a non-PC Berkeley study published in 2007 of the attitude and treatment of recent African immigrants by American blacks serves to illustrate this (FR thread). Excerpt:
"Growing up in Africa . . ., the culture of White racism and prejudice was not part of the African upbringing . . . . [w]e were aware of the history of slavery but, in all cases, we were wil ling to forget and forgive. It never occurred to us that we would be the targets of hate simply because of the color of our skin. Interestingly, ou r Black and brown skins did not open the doors wide for us in the African American community either. We were, and remain to many African Americans, outsiders or beneficiaries of their struggle against a racist society. If we are too successful and live in a nice White neighborhood, then we are accused of betraying our race, being "Black Bourgeois" and wanting to be White. To White neighbors, we are safe because we are Blacks from Africa . . ., not from the South or Brooklyn and, to their stereotypical way of thinking, we do not do drugs or alcohol or have big late night parties."
Just as alcohol abuse can be expected among certain cultures (in this case being much higher among non-black,non-Hispanics) then so behavioral issues can be, and which not must be unreasonably discounted in order to blame disciplinary actions all on racism. Rather, the higher rates of violence in American black culture is related to the decline of the traditional black family which liberal policies fostered.
Lemon did overreach somewhat when he went on to say that the 72 percent "out of wedlock" figure "means absent fathers." The 72 percent figure refers to children who are born to women who are not married; it would, however, include unmarried couples in which the father is present. That said, the rate of African-American children living in single-parent homes is almost as high as the rate for non-marital births.
Unproven. As likely common on any welfare culture, mothers who have resident fornicators tell the welfare agency they are single in order to collect more benefits.
Oh look, DNC talking points arriving at the same time from two different networks. How surprising.
And Patrick Daniel Monyihan worked with Lyndon Johnson to get the civil rights bills known as the “Great Society” passed in the mid-1960’s because the out-of-wedlock rate among blacks was 25% and he thought that was unacceptable. Good work, Patrick!
No money in it!
Precisely. It’s antithetical to condemn abortion and then castigate mothers who deliver their babies at term.
All according to plan. Government needs to control the population, so becoming the grand baby-daddy; government can destroy families. Don’t need a man when daddy government got you covered.
The guys encourage this as I see it. Just shack up rather than marry.
What did we expect to happen? And white liberals were all on board with that.
Yeah, I blame "whitey", to a large degree.
