Blacks struggle with 72 percent unwed mothers rate
ap.org ^ | November 6, 2010 | Jesse Washington

Posted on 11/06/2010 10:53:29 AM PDT by MamaDearest

Snips from Excerpt only website: Seventy-two percent of black babies are born to unmarried mothers today, according to government statistics. This number is inseparable from the work of Carroll, an obstetrician who has dedicated her 40-year career to helping black women.

The black community's 72 percent rate eclipses that of most other groups: 17 percent of Asians, 29 percent of whites, 53 percent of Hispanics and 66 percent of Native Americans were born to unwed mothers in 2008, the most recent year for which government figures are available. The rate for the overall U.S. population was 41 percent.

This is an issue that overwhelms common sense. Most of these kids aren’t accidents. The mother deliberately gets pregnant. They have nothing in their lives- and there’s no chance things are gonna get better. Along comes a boyfriend- who’s an even bigger loser. The only “accomplishment” they’re capable of is fathering a child. So they blackmail the mother. Have my kid, or I’m gone. Of course, once the baby is born, it’s only a matter of time before they are gone. Then along comes the next boyfriend. who not only wants to demonstrate his ability to father a child, but is also insulted by the presence of another man’s child. So the cycle just continues. And by the time the mother finally catches on, it’s too late.

Somewhere, LBJ is smiling.

So is John C. Calhoun, another Democrat.

Even Keynes understood the following basic law of economics.

Activity which the government funds will increase.
Activity which the government taxes will decrease.

But the DemonRATS and RINOs don’t get it.

Thanks. I'd like to point out that this really isn't a racially-based thing. Baby-daddy is an unfortunately definition for all races in this country. Just watch Jerry or Maury. In the N Georgia county where I live, there aren't very many black people. The ones I were actually talking about were white - leeches nonetheless.....

This problem is a social cultural disease brought on by laziness and improper upbringing - all abetted by a willing Federal Government.

Most of these kids grow up not knowing who their brothers and sisters are. Then comes along the next generation of inbred kids that struggle with all sorts of related problems.

I do recall a calypso song about that very thing:

Shame and Scandal in the Family

I condemn the culture all the time. I get called “racist” for it until I make the accuser define racism (the belief that some “races” are inherently superior or inferior due to genetic makeup), then I’m not a racist by definition, because genetics doesn’t determine cultural behavior.
And, as someone with a biblical worldview, I don’t even believe in the concept of “race”.

Whored out to the government sounds more accurate to me.

From what I’ve seen it’s all the same. Pay people to hang around and get pissed off about something. It’s universal.

“Wow, how high can it go?”

The “72%” number was nationwide.

If you look in some concentrated inner cities, I wouldn’t be surprised to find the illegitimacy rate at 85-90%.

When three out of four black babies are born to an unmarried mother, you have a behavior pattern that is no longer unusual — it is now “the norm”.

Indeed, in inner cities, it is the concept of a “traditional black family” that has now become the aberration.

I seriously doubt we will ever be able to restore things “back to kilter” among AA’s. The underlying cultural ties have been destroyed. Any attempt to rebuild them will be vehemently rejected and labeled “racist”....

Billions of dollars have been thrown down the rat hole of inner city education with absolutely no positive results. That’s because adding teachers or computers or new books have a limited effect on children who lack paternal discipline. No daddy at home to respect (or, if need be, to fear) will inevitably lead to exactly the situation the Black community now finds itself. Yet, none of the “studies” that the liberal think tanks provide discusses the real reason for poor black achievement. Thus, to the left, a father’s value is zero. I guess all those years I spent helping my three kids with their homework, or just tossing a football with them, or discussing their problems, had no effect. Maybe I should have just hung out with my pals, drinking, smoking crack, and chasing loose women.

Michelle should address this issue, instead of child obesity. It’s far more significant.

Bingo! The government should offer all women a free tube tying plus ten thousand bucks. If, some day, the woman wants to reverse the operation, she has to pay for it.

Then the kids roam the streets, useless and uneducated, take to crime and then it becomes a white black thing with guess what? Whiteys fault and racial profiling. Its discrimination.
Yup! Discrimination between good and bad

Why do you think that in california over 80 percent of the incarcerated are “men of color”?

Many are still living with multi-generational social damage inflicted by the welfare system, aided in the public sphere by narcissistic and hedonistic arts and media industries that celebrate single-parenthood and promiscuity.

Of course many in the arts and media that support that celebration have the financial wherewithal to support the problems from it should they incur those problems; which at the least demonstrates their "social" irresponsibility, by what to many of us is their moral irresponsibility. No that doesn't excuse the moral responsibility of their less fortunate peers who followed the arts and media icons in their folly.

[ And yet, the Democrat party gets praise for bringing this on Black Americans. What a disgrace. ]

Actually the disgrace goes to the black community..
Few blacks highlight this.. and fewer still do anything about it..

One would think some blacks would be hopping mad..
A few do.. but very few..

Its actually stealth genocide.. with most blacks being Judas Goats..
White liberals planned it with menace aforethought..
Black Panthers should be renamed, Black Judas Goats..

A more though bit of brain washing I have not witnessed..
Than with blacks generally.. course the T-P Caucus has slapped a few awake...
