What alarms me most is that the line for white people is upward inflecting. This is a societal issue deriving from the breakdown of all moral aspects of our culture — years of secularism and the effects of our media and educational system. Eventually (and soon) more than half of all children will be born to unwed mothers and we will be finished as a functional community.
Agreed.
Take another look at the chart, and focus on the X-axis around the year 1975.
The white illegitimacy rate was around 6%, but the black illegitimacy rate was 50% and growing at an exponential rate.
The politicians, the black leaders, the Sociologists, the professors, the journalists in the media, the Federal government, the State governments, and most black churches KNEW this was a horrific and terrible problem. And they chose to not only ignore it, but they made it even worse in the years to come.
Black women, with almost zero job skills, having multiple bastard children by multiple fathers in order to get checks from the state and Federal government was a recipe for social disaster. And yet, we are following that recipe even to this day. "Welfare reform" was gutted by Obama, because he eliminated the work requirements, or watered them down so as to make them meaningless.
Galatians 6: 6-7
"7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
Of course it is. The Welfare State and the income tax are arranged to subsidize bastardy and tax intact families. You get more of what you subsidize, and less of what you tax.
