i believe Thomas Sowell said that in the 1950’s, the marriage rate for blacks was higher than whites, and the unmarried birthrate was lower for blacks than whites.
The Civil rights act destroyed the black family, just as that government study by Moynihan said it would.

I assume you mean the Great Society programs such as SNAP (food stamps) and the expansion of AFDC. Yes, Moynihan & Glazer were prescient. I’m not sure the Civil Rights Act hurt the black family, but the Nixon Administration’s interpretation of it (Affirmative Action) has definitely hurt the US economy and culture.
It may I have been a bit earlier than that, I remember the story and the research behind it. HS graduation rates were higher as well. The comparison was that all immigrant groups to this country started as an isolated section of American society and thus had a greater cohesion of values leading to stronger society values like strength of family. Blacks fit into this trend if you counted post-reconstruction as their actual immigration into this society.
Immigrant groups would then fall in line with mainstream society except at that point, blacks got screwed by the Civil Rights Act and the Great Society.
Iirc, it was the former, but not the latter. The higher illegitimacy rate for blacks has a long history, but it was far from the norm 60 years ago.
The employment rate for blacks was also higher than for whites, when the government wasn't "helping."
That is complete bs...the bastard rate for black kids in 1962 was 20 percent
For whites around .05 percent
Don’t believe the canards or this notion that whites can fix blacks by marrying them
Doesn’t that strike all the stupids here and their pollyanna views on race as the height of true bigotry?
Anyone remember the old now banned liberal freeper memphis belle?
this was her usual refrain
Make everyone mixed race
Man...i cannot believe how weak and stupid whites are today
