I can't find the video clip online but she basically ridiculed the late democratic Sen. Daniel Moynihan and conservative newspaper columnist George Will for talking about the adverse affect unmarried single parent homes have had on the black community. In her response, she made it seem all they were saying is a ring around the finger is the only distinction between homes where there are two parents raising kids alone vs. female parent. I really like Harris-Perry and have found myself gravitating more to liberal pundits because of what I consider to be greater level of intellectual honesty than what I've seen on the right as of late. Needless to say, I think on this topic she is allowing her feminist agenda biases to trump the truth and this is more than disappointing.
Harris-Perry who is a professional educator must be aware of the sad statistics that show overwhelmingly the poor educational outcomes from kids raised by single mothers. Then there are the crime statistics, the incarceration rates, the drug use, the teen pregnancy rate, the poverty rates that have become multi-generational and on and on. And please don't feed me the line about the one in a million (exaggerating) kid who made it despite insurmountable odds so because it didn't make a difference with them, it doesn't make a difference with any kid; that's what the conservative pundits who I've lost faith in do. I'm talking about the overwhelming majority.
Its not about whether or not there's a piece of metal on her left hand finger. Its about children who need the discipline of a strong but loving and protective father along with the loving nurturing of a mother to have the best possible life outcomes, some more than others depending on their dispositions. I love and honor mothers, especially my own but I'm honest enough to acknowledge the vast majority of kids do best when they have both their mother and father living under the same roof.
I still like her, will keep watching and think the braids are bangin'! I just felt I needed to say something.

Don't know her. But I basically agree with your basic premise that two adults are needed to raise children. What I don't agree with you on is the "strong but loving and protective father along with the loving nurturing of a mother" bit. It just needs two loving and strong adults. Doesn't matter the gender.
MSNBC acknowledges their bias, so unless they get caught lying, threads about them don't really belong in this sub-forum. This is a very important topic, but it belongs somewhere else.
One of the main problems in our society is these young women who go around spreading their legs for every man that looks at them twice. What we end up with is illegitimate young boys that look to gangs for male role models and young girls who follow their moms example and perpetuate the cycle. At one time "bastard" children and women that had them were ostracized but unfortunately it has become accepted as a norm now and IMO this is one of if not the biggest threat our society faces.
How are those kids faring who had Sandusky for a father figure?
I personally don't think the relatively new family dynamic of gay adoption has enough history to observe any trusted data. You might be right or it might not be. Stating so IMHO without any historical data to back it up is in my humble opinion probably just activism. Nothing wrong with that as long as we recognize it for what it is.
You just shed light another important danger of single mom families. Pedophiles actually seek out kids in families where the father is absent or non-custodial because unlike the PC culture they realize those kids are more vulnerable than kids from homes where Dad was married to Mom and living under the same roof together as a family. A father figure is not the same thing as their own father. I don't have time to look up the source right now but I understand that simply being from a broken home or a home where the biological parents were never married increases a child's likelihood of being sexually violated as a kid by 400% be it from new boyfriends, stepfathers or whomever.
I agree that a family comprised of a loving mother and father offers a slight advantage, but a strong, intelligent, and motivated single mother can move the world.
Sexual abuse can and does occur within a family where the father is seemingly devoted and loving to his children.
Parents, whether married or divorced, have a responsibility to nurture and raise their children to become intelligent and caring human beings. Children should be their number priority, superseding boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. But as we all know, that's not the case. It all comes down to personal responsibility, doesn't it?
