what can be done?

The underclass are largely populated by people of subnormal intelligance (IQ around 80). They are pretty much beyond redemption, although the fate of their children is not sealed.

The most promising overall strategy will be to build on strength-- strengthen the Black middle class and enable them to provide access to the real world for any Black youth with the capabilities to benefit.

This will require successful Blacks to begin to man up in numbers not yet seen.

If I were able to disburse funding, I would give it not to a bunch of chickenshit gubbermint social workers but rather to Black entrepreneurs who are willing to commit to staying in the vicinity of the untapped Black labor market.

Black men are the greatest untapped resource in America. We should expose and intensely comdemn liberals for destroying generations of these men, who could otherwise be strong members of the community.

white illegitimacy rate -- 4% in 1965, 29% in 2010. Cultural disintegration.

And note, the 29% white illegitimacy rate now is higher than the rate among Blacks, back when Moynihan wrote his benchmark treatise of the crisis of the Black family in America.

out of wedlock birth rate for blacks dropped from 96 per 1000 to around 60 out of 1000

So according to somebody at The Atlantic, only 6% (60 out of 1000) of Black babies are illegitimate. And you believe this.

Bingo, letting another generation rot in prison will be a sin.

I agree, the white liberals, and black celebs (and now Barack Obama)....have an EPIC FAIL on their hands, and no one is speaking out to condemn them for their exploitation of poor black Americans, no one has said out loud that their public policies have cost lives, minds, and souls, for generations.

I am guessing Hallmark does not sell many Fathers Day cards in Harlem.

Rumor has it they have initiated a whole new line of "Happy Baby-Daddy's Day" cards.

No, that is not what the statistic says. It is saying that in 2005, 6% of single black women gave birth. Almost 9% of single black women gave birth in 1980. The author cites the specific sources of the information.

Table 19, page 59-60 of the CDC site is cited. Note that a higher percentage of single Hispanic women gave birth in 2005.

So as noted, the 70 percent of black children born out of wedlock statistic predominantly results from the low marriage rate among blacks and married blacks having a lower birth rate than married people of the two other major groups (white and Hispanic).

Even in black churches, "nobody talks about it," Carroll says. "It's like some big secret."

Judging from Black political behavior, there's a great deal nobody talks about in the Black churches.
