The author of this article is right. The black family in America, prior to Lyndon Johnson’s destructive “Great Society” wet dream, was very stable. The “Great Society” disaster destroyed the black family in America, because it told blacks that the government (Uncle Sugar) would take care of them, which in effect told black men that their families did not need them, and they took that as a license to take off and become “a player” and a non-productive (in the economic sense, not in the procreation sense) member of society. Hispanics have bought into the same mindset.

the Great Society and the cultural devolution knowns as the 1960s and 70s has done the same to whites.

Well, it was certainly better than it is now, but I would not call a situation in which 1 in 4 children are born out of wedlock "very stable."

Even in the pre-Great Society days MLK himself expressed alarm at what has happening to the black family.

I have no doubt the Great Society made things a lot worse, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking it was all hunky-dory beforehand.
