re: It had risen to 25 percent by 1965, when Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action” and was widely condemned as a racist.

No Democrat today would dare say what Daniel Patrick Moynihan said back in 1965. Back then political correctness existed, but nothing like today. Today he would be crucified.

Indeed, remember how Dan Quayle was crucified, based on saying that Hollywood and TV were pushing unwed motherhood on a TV show as just another lifestyle choice????

Somebody wrote a book about certain things you aren’t allowed to say in America. This strikes me as one such subject, the rate of illegitimacy in America, and among minorities in particular.

The way liberals and political correctness has framed the debate, you are being hateful and critical of single mothers if you say things such as children are better off with a married mother and father.

You are hateful and bigoted based on their criteria, so that ends the discussion right there.

Moynihan himself would be backtracking the paper and claiming he just did it because it was his way into Congress where he could help those po’ black folks.

Moynihan was a liberal. Democrats today are neo-Marxists.
