The Fatherless Effect
Trevor Grant Thomas.com ^ | 7/31/16 | Trevor Grant Thomas

Over the last several months—and especially the last few weeks—much has been made of the “Ferguson effect.” The phenomenon is now so widely discussed that it has its own Wikipedia page (though I wouldn’t suggest visiting it for an explanation). St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson coined the phrase in November of 2014, but Heather MacDonald popularized it in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in 2015...

Again, out-of-wedlock births in the U.S. are at historic highs, and the vast majority of black children in America are born to single mothers. And just as criminal gangs and other undesirables fill the void of absent police officers in American neighborhoods, the same thing happens—but on a much larger and more destructive scale—when fathers are absent from the family.

This goes hand-in-hand with the overall decline of white children as well; this country is changing faster than anyone can imagine.

I took some family to a kids movie last night; they seemed to be the only American (never mind “white”) children there - in a town that is still “white”...

Yes, it’s across the board, though it is much more prominent among certain minority groups.

I experienced that back in April when I went to a clinic in a middle class, predominately white neighborhood with my adult son. Previously posted on fr......


I recently went with my oldest to a clinic in Milwaukee, WI. He had complications from diabetes. Anyways, I was the only American in the waiting room. The were 2 Hmong women who had 3 little preschool kids and one on the way. There was an Arab couple who had 2 little preschool kids. With her burka on I couldn’t tell if there was one on the way. And a Mexican family that had 5 kids all under about 10 years old. All running around like cockroaches. Of course, none of these families spoke English. I was able to get the receptionist to admit all were on Medicaid, as were most patients at the clinic. For the record, my son is not. He is a 30 year old single male who has a good job, works hard, pays his taxes etc. Receptionist admitted they needed interpreters for these families. In an hour time frame I witnessed 3 families who obviously were living the good life in America thanks to yours and my tax dollars. Of course, they all had the newest Iphones. Meanwhile, our young people are putting off getting married and having families because they cannot afford to. This weakening from within is the biggest threat to our national security. This needs to stop!

Absolutely, and whatever the govt. “incentivizes” increases.

The government pays the mothers to NOT have the father in the home. The government pays the mothers to be out-of-wedlock parents. The mothers get monthly checks, free rent and utilities, food stamps, health insurance, clothing allowances, and cell phones as long as the father does NOT live in the home.

We are all guilty (through our tax dollars) of contributing to the breakdown of the family in this country.

And whatever the govt. subsidizes is (almost always) going to increase.

I turn your attention to this.

“The rate of sexual abuse is 20 times higher if the mother is cohabiting with a boyfriend.”

If any black person says that whites commit the majority of child sexual offenses, that’s a damn lie. The commit just as many, they just don’t report it because that means another black man in jail, the old faithful guilt trip.

I saw it years ago when my first child was born (again, in a “white” area); the maternity ward had two white babies, two black babies, one Asian (Oriental) baby, and over a dozen Hispanic babies. The 2050 date for this country becoming majority non-white is nonsense; we are just a few years from that point. Remember it was years ago at this point that they admitted more white people were dying every day than being born (due to the ageing population); 2050 is nonsense fabricated to prevent a reaction/response.

My town’s hospital closed years ago because of illegals using it without paying; the trend in southern California has spread here to NJ.

Just tell adolescent or young adult males that they can have all the sex they want with as many different women as they want and they will never have to pay a cent in child support. This is like honey to the bees—this is like heroin.

Tell the females that they will not have to work but the government will take care of them.
