70% of black babies are born out of wedlock
Eugene Cane (an African American writer for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) tackles the tough social question regarding single parenting in the African-American community. An issue, which he believes has an impact on everything from crime to education to poverty.
“Why are there so many out-of-wedlock births in the African-American community?” He asks, and presents statistics indicating that nearly 70% of black babies are born out of wedlock - surely an incredible figure.
Interviews with 162 low-income white, African-American and Hispanic women in Philadelphia are summarized and synthesized by sociologists Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas in a book “Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage,” published by the University of Californiaarriage,” published by the University of California Press.

Another so-called conservative who, one moment preaches personal responsibility and accountability, and in the very next breath blames the evil omni-present, oppressive, ‘liberals.’
Which is it? Are we personally responsible for our own mistakes/successes? Or are the liberals responsible for our mistakes/successes.
I know! When we fail it’s the liberals, when we succeed it’s us!
Also, I live in the deep south, and I can honestly say that the most ignorant, racist bastards I have met are from the midwest. Enzo, I’m not sure you have any right to talk about ‘Black culture.’
Its good that we have a black president.. now these black children can aspire to be a leader instead of aspiring to be some black crackpipe rapper. these rappers are killing their own kind… words are destructive..
Black Men… time to zip up your pants and take on the role of fatherhood….
your baggy pant, ear rings, tattoos and designer shaved head is a MASK to your low self image… cmon take resp
Blacks lack self-control and are lower IQ. Their brains are obviously less evolved than those of any other race. Haiti and all African countries show the lack of civilization of these creatures in their feral state.
This gets to the heart of what is wrong in black culture. You can’t blame racism. The culture of the “baby mama” and “baby daddy” pervades black society. This is an ENORMOUS problem. Everything from less income to lack of a role model to poor nutrition can be ascribed to this incredible statistic. Wake up black America, the “achievement gap” is still with us and will likely continue to grow as long as 72% of our babies are bastards!
Black culture is declining rapidly, and it is definitely the fault of ‘whitey’… specifically it is the fault of LIBERAL ‘WHITIES’. White liberals with their wrong-headed social policies have torn apart the traditional family unit among blacks with their stupid welfare DIS-incentive to work, produce goods, and take personal responsibility for their own successes and failures.
It brought votes to the Democrat party… but at a horrendous cost to all. Black pride is an oxymoron… black shame is more apropos.
