Been living under a rock somewhere? This started even before the "Great Society" programs of LBJ, although up until then it main affected big city women on welfare, who couldn't get their welfare if there was an able bodied man in the house. So they kicked Dad out, and then found that with the Welfare they didn't need him...although their kids did and the mothers still haven't figured that out in many cases. Now there have been several generations of kids without fathers. Helps explain the rise of the gangs (not that some gangs haven't always been around), the prevalence of the "B word" in rap music and rap's general hostility to women. The women see the men as sperm donors, and the men see the women as little better than Rosy Palm's that talk. Real healthy climate that...NOT.
