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.

That's true - and for ALL unwed mothers, whether teenaged, or older, whatever skin color under the rainbow. Democrats (and welfare/medicaid recipients) would scream to high heaven to lose any of those benefits. They are an expectation / an entitlement and neither political party will touch the issue no matter how abused it has become.
Bush’s fault.
The children must be fed. They are our future.
Lord help us.
lol The squirrels are the problem.
Your grandma never told you they found you under a cabbage leaf in the garden? ;)
Or its the Liberal's fault. Its never the black peoples fault, they're the poor victims.
You get what you pay for...
Subsidize bad behavior and you get more of it.
“Billions of dollars have been thrown down the rat hole”
Trillions, MD, trillions.
Grossly put, but apt.
Television points out to kids that this sort of explanation is a lie.
That would be a fascinating irony.
Don’t they ever get tired of being dysfunctional? I would never want to have one kid out of wedlock, but these women have dozens! One after another and all of them shortchanged the minute they’re born.
This is so stupid to call it a ‘struggle.’ This is a ‘struggle’ that is easily avoidable. Very easily avoidable. These women are bron with enough working against them enough, why add to it? They keep refusing to see the bigger world out there, which is bewildering to me since they are sabotaging themselves, not choosing to do better.
What struggle? They freely embrace bringing up children in poverty with no hope of success. It’s a “cultural” thing and so unPC to mention it.
So bascially to them marriage would be a hindrance, but not a kid? Idiots.
Blacks are CHOOSING to destroy themselves as well. They are CHOOSING to behave irresponsibly. There are a million ways to break out of poverty and I daresay that they aren’t taking them, but choose to push the self destruct button. They keep choosing to ruin their lives. It’s like taking the Mark of the Beast, all the time knowing the consequences and hearing the warnings. Day in and day out you see and hear the consequences, but go figure, choose to do so anyway.
ISLAM is spreading to kids raised in single parent households, via prison. Get the out of wedlock problem reduced, there will be less cirminals in jail to be receptive to the moral absolutes of Islam. Islam is good for people who hate the mainstream and would prefer to embrace something that reinforces their alienation and sense of hatred of the very society they themselves vicitmized. It absolves them from being responsible for their actions.
This is Obama's mentality precisely (and his foundation for "redistribution of wealth.")
