Yes, but as noted in another post, the divorced and never
marrieds are treated the same in the study,
and you don’t get counted if you don’t
have children....
Totally fallacious. Correlation is not causation.
Interesting.
I wonder if this is because people don’t look at marriage as a Sacrament, a holy covenant.
I believe this has much to do with it. When people realize they made a promise to God in front of witnesses it helps to put things in perspective. They need to be reminded of this fact.
“The black family is just in meltdown crisis on family and on marriage,” the researcher argued, “and that’s what locking them into poverty.”
True picture of the South with its many areas of black population. A real crisis for family values.

How about money? I always feel there is a secret code of moral conservatism among the wealthy.
It’d be interesting to see a map of, essentially, is the father (or a stepfather of over 5 years marriage to the mother) still married to the mother, or at least regularly living with the family.
SF area has most intact families? What a joke. Methodology must be dicey
Probably the “study” is lie from the start
Do not know where you live but food in the south is most definitely not what you said. We have fried food but not excessively so. The stereotypes about the south are driven by liberal hatred
Then what explains the South having obesity rates so far above average? And please don’t try to say it’s only because of the racial minorities. You’re not gonna do anything to help the South’s reputation by going down that road.
I tend to think the amount of sugary drinks is the leading cause....that and the amount of packaged foods some people eat.
Blacks are not as much of a minority in the south as they are in the country as a whole. Blacks make up 37% of MS population but only 13% of US population according to the US Census Bureau. 37% of a population could skew a result more that 13% could. Just sayin’.
Because people in Liberal areas don’t get married as often...in other words, there are no marriages to break up.
So build a wall and stop the Northern liberals from infecting the South.
They should try to reestablish the black family. Blacks however have never embrassed family like whites. It’s their culture.
In New York City in 1925, 85% of kin-related black households had two parents.[8] When Moynihan warned in his 1965 report on the coming destruction of the black family, however, the out-of-wedlock birthrate had increased to 25% among blacks.[7] This figure continued to rise over time and in 1991, 68% of black children were born outside of marriage.[9] U.S. Census data from 2010 reveal that more African American families consisted of single-parent mothers than married homes with both parents.[10] Most recently, in 2011 it was reported that 72% of black babies were born to unwed mothers.[6]
But all the political energy is spent trying to make the white man confess to being raciest and demanding reparations of one kind or another.
You must be racist. Confess it.
I’m not sure how to define the word racist.
