Why? Why are 60% of black children born to single mothers? (1 Viewer)

[Integrityrespec]

Why are 60% of black children born to single mothers, 40% of all babies are born to single mothers. In 1940 black out of wedlock babies was 27%. In 1965, 24 percent of black infants and 3.1 percent of white infants were born to single mothers. Since 1970, out-of-wedlock birth rates have soared. By 1990 the rates had risen to 64 percent for black infants, 18 percent for whites. Every year about one million more children are born into fatherless families. More than three quarters of African American births in 2017were to unmarried women, nearly double the illegitimacy rate of all other births, according to new federal data.

What's the partisan platform here?

Is this a book promo? Do you get a flat fee?

LBJ declared War of Poverty, and War on Vietnam. He lost Both. In the process, he probably did more damage to US with the first, than he did to Vietnam with the second. There is no problem so bad that government can't make it worse.

Now, if you eliminate Nick Csnnon, that number drops significantly.

This is the correct answer.

Liberals think they're "helping," when all they do is incentivize this problem. This country needs to bring back shame.

LBJ declared War of Poverty,

The results of Johnson's War on Poverty are controversial but there were some notable successes including Head Start and Job Corps. Ultimately, the drain on resources caused by the war in Vietnam doomed Johnson's vision of a Great Society.

and War on Vietnam. He lost Both.

True.

In the process, he probably did more damage to US with the first, than he did to Vietnam with the second.

Ridiculous.

There is no problem so bad that government can't make it worse.

That's true. There's also no problem so bad good government can't help make it better.

Conservatives hate the idea of a war on poverty. They prefer to wage war on the poor.

Hmm. If shame were still functioning, no multi-indicted or multi-bankrupted candidate would be running for president.

If you think that government social safety nets are the reason that 60% of Black children are born to single mothers, then you have to think there is something different about black people. I say this, because those same safety net programs are available to everyone, with only income qualifications, regardless of their race or ethnicity. As you are not arguing that there are more white single mothers because of safety net programs, you have to believe that there is something different about Black people.

Funny that y'all tribalists keep clinging to that "indicted" tag. Indicts are a dime-a-dozen and as easy to get as candy from a baby.

What's he been actually convicted of?

What's he been actually convicted of?

In January 2023, a federal judge fined Trump and his attorney nearly $1 million, characterizing him as "a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries."[10]

On December 6, 2022, Trump's company The Trump Organization was convicted on 17 criminal charges.[11][12][13]

On May 9, 2023, regarding E. Jean Carroll's claims of defamation and sexual assault, an anonymous jury[17] found Trump liable for sexual abuse (but not rape) and defamation against Carroll and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million in damages.[4][18]

In 1988, the Justice Department sued Trump for violating procedures related to public notifications when buying voting stock in a company related to his attempted takeovers of Holiday Corporation and Bally Manufacturing Corporation in 1986. Trump agreed to pay $750,000 to settle the civil penalties of the antitrust lawsuit.[35]

In 2000, Donald Trump paid $250,000 to settle fines related to charges brought by New York State Lobbying Commission director David Grandeau. Trump was charged with circumventing state law to spend $150,000 lobbying against government approval of plans to construct an Indian-run casino in the Catskills, which would have diminished casino traffic to Trump's casinos in Atlantic City.[41][42]

In 2013, in a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, Trump was accused of defrauding more than 5,000 people of $40 million for the opportunity to learn Trump's real estate investment techniques in a for-profit training program, Trump University, which operated from 2005 to 2011.[55][56][57] Subsequently, more than 2,000 students sought and received course refunds before the end of their paid seminars.[61]

Trump filed a $1 million defamation suit against former Trump University student Tarla Makaeff, who had spent about $37,000 on seminars, after she joined the class action lawsuit and publicized her classroom experiences on social media.[64] Trump University was later ordered by a U.S. district judge in April 2015 to pay Makaeff and her lawyers $798,774.24 in legal fees and costs.[64][65] Donald Trump was found to have defrauded students, and was forced to pay $25 million in restitution.[66][67]

There's more. There's always more.

That and lack of education. It isn't a black vs white issue.

Hmm. If shame were still functioning, no multi-indicted or multi-bankrupted candidate would be running for president.

If shame we’re still functioning, No American would vote for a career politician who eulogized a KKK member, had his crack addicted son collect his bribes from Foreign leaders, and used shell companies to funnel his cut back to himself and his family members.

Perfect example:

"Somebody Needs to Pay!"



That was 12 years ago and the following was 6 years ago:



The problem began with "help via entitlements," but it created a class of entitled citizens who used the welfare system and still do.
