"It's almost become trendy in the black community to have children out of wedlock ...."

While I understand the focus of this woman's efforts is on young blacks in New York, the same could be said of white kids in my own region, the Upper Ohio Valley. Girls in their teens and early 20s in these parts don't seem to think twice about unprotected sex, pregnancy, the sperm donor's lack of interest or "raising a child" for whom they are emotionally and financially unprepared. Of course, the babies get dumped on the grandparents in so many cases.
