Black illegitimacy wasn’t a problem before the late 60’s? I didn’t know that.
As late as 1968, the Supremes could have a Motown hit called ‘Love Child’. The whole concept doesn’t make sense in today’s culture.
I believe the Black illegitimacy rate was 27% in the early ‘60s. Now, that was fairly high — but very, very low compared to the nearly 75% it is today. 3 out of 4 Black children were born to intact families. If the illegitimacy rate fell to early ‘60s levels, the crime rate in the Black community would plummet.
I haven’t seen the figures lately, but I believe the White illegitimacy rate today is about where it was with Blacks 55 years ago. If it ever rose to match Black illegitimacy, we would have a complete societal breakdown.
