The whole plan of LBJ's "Great Society" was to remove the father from the home, establish an entire class of people dependent upon government handouts, raise the crime rates to create a police state, and grow government to deal with the problem.
We can thank LBJ for that. Clinton was the only president that tried to fix it but it didn't last.
But American’s have always known that.
Thanks Tards! Next up we will have a double blind study proving that not drinking mercury is good for you!

Welfare causes fatherlessness causes crime.
The real “root cause” is exactly WELFARE.
Fatherless-ness is a Democrat Party domestic policy, that “empowers women.”
Follow the money, on that one.
When I was a young lad, I lived in rural NC and played with boys and girls, both white and black. I distinctly remembering admiring the black kids’ fathers. They were strong heads of their families.
In the 2nd grade (1959) my dad was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We lived in Cuba for 6 years.
Then we were stationed in Norfolk in 1965. The nation had changed. The strong fathers of the black families were MIA.

It’s odd how the people MOST demanding respect from others have NONE for themselves, for each other or for their unborn children.
My parents were not wealthy but they had enough respect for themselves and for us to give their children a NAME and a family!
Captain Obvious smiles. The only groups that do not know this also think there are more than two sexes, men can menstruate, and that communism/socialism works. (E.G., lib arts faculties)
And ‘fatherlessness’ is caused by democrat policies.
Remember how Dan Quayle was crucified for talking about the issue of fatherlessness?
We rarely hear politicians talk about this issue. Since the liberal view is that to talk of this is an attack on single mothers , people are afraid to talk about it.
Who tried to fix it?
It wasn’t Clinton. It was the Republicans in Congress that
forced his hand on that and balanced budgets.
There were some root causes of crime lying before the single parent homes, but I’m sure that didn’t help

What causes crime is something that people do not want to face up to because it means that they are not going to be able to "hug the problem away".
The root cause of crime is the high probability that you will get away with it. In other words that you will not be caught and if caught will not be punished or that the punishment will be light.
This is not a happy thing because it means there is no way to stop criminals then by doling out punishment and that is so mean.
It is however, reality.
He will be labeled as a racist in 3...2...1....
That’s not the reason...it’s a cop out. The reason is criminals are scum by nature with or without a father. Millions of young boys have grown up without fathers thanks to WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Middle East, etc. and minuscule number became criminals.
I watched a football game with some friends, and also watched a couple hours of standard, American mainstream TV in the process.
I very rarely watch US MSM/TV/Entertainment over the last 20+ years.
After seeing the commercials, the theme of shows, the highly ideological messaging behind it all, I realized that anyone following “popular culture” to try and negotiate society, create a personal morality, be healthy, or raise children - is being led into disaster.
Fathers tend to be the primary source of discipline for young boys that step outside the boundaries set by their parents. Mom saying “wait ‘til your father gets home” was a fearful thing for young boys who had broken a rule. Take that away and boys will run wild, and grow into vicious animals.
