Cultural, or their 15% (on average) admixture of white genes?
There’s a marked cultural difference as would be expected, in my view. In the same way, Asians born and acculturated here are different from those of their traditional homeland. LBJ didn’t do blacks any favors by federalizing welfare with AFDC. That was the death knell of the black family structure.
“As provisions in welfare laws offered ever-increasing economic incentives for shunning marriage and avoiding the formation of two-parent families, illegitimacy rates rose dramatically.
For the next few decades, means-tested welfare programs such as food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, day care, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families penalized marriage. A mother generally received far more money from welfare if she was single rather than married. Once she took a husband, her benefits were instantly reduced by roughly 10 to 20 percent. As a Cato Institute study noted, welfare programs for the poor incentivize the very behaviors that are most likely to perpetuate poverty.”
