I blame LBJ.
Started the “Great Society”.
Give money to poor black people.
Give more money to poor blacks with more kids.
More kids and government money makes the fathers less responsible (well, and the moms too).
Divorce rates go up.
And now they don’t even bother with marriage or divorce - just lots of different baby daddies.
So now you have kids with no normal families, no fathers, no education, so no jobs, so more government money.
And while it was bad enough that they didn’t get any discipline in the family, now they don’t get it in school (if they even go to school), and certainly don’t get it from the local prosecutors.
Whether this destruction of the family was what LBJ had in mind I don’t know - but the outcome is just what he wanted - more power for democrats in federal office.
Even worse, baby mommas would lose all their money if baby dadda was anywhere to be found. More brats = more income. They aren’t stupid — pop out as many money-making kids as possible and make sure dad never came around.
The perfect recipe for black family (and lots of poor whites, too) extreme dysfunction and an ever-growing humongous welfare state.
