“Come on now...
...where is the RACIAL data??”
I believe it was 70% for blacks. However, the rate for whites has been growing and it is where blacks were in the 60’s. Government has destroyed the black families, now it is the white’s turn.
Many single mothers are better off with government benefits than marrying a low income man. Many women reach the age where they want to have a kid and can’t find someone they find suitable for marriage and go ahead and have a child anyway. Sort of a combination of having a puppy and a friend. It is tragic for the male child without a father figure and the female child has increased risks do to mamma’s boyfriend relative and are also damaged by not having a father around. Add in divorce, and the 40% ratio increases. It is a disaster that no one wants or cares to confront.
A society where 40% of the kids are born out of wedlock is a society that will fail, and should fail. IMHO.
A bastard is a bastard is a bastard
More of the eligible white males knock out their suitability for being a family provider because of drug addiction. Many get kicked out of a marriage because of drug addiction and leave the woman holding the bag. The homeless epidemic is the result.
Well if blacks are 12% of the population and have a 70% out of wedlock rate then they represent 7 to 8% of that 40%. Hispanics another large demo at about 15% of the overall population may have it as high as 40 to 50% so one can assume a 6 to 7 % of that 40. If whites are about 75% of the overall population then whites would constitute the balance of about 22 to 25% out of the 40 or about 35% of white children are born out of wedlock.
