While many slave owners encouraged slave marriages, the truth is that about 1/3 of such families were disrupted by many members being "sold down the river" separately and sometimes a mother and child together.This puts a lie to the stupidly worded "pledge".

When Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote his report about welfare, the out of wedlock birth figures, for blacks, stood at 1/3 of the black population. Earlier, the out of wedlock birthrate for blacks, was lower.

The lack of historical knowledge, reflected in the "pledge" is appalling; to say the least! And yes, if they had brought up how truly dreadful the "WAR ON POVERTY" proved to be, that would at least have made some sense, since it was conceived and run by Dems!

One has to wonder............do those who sign political pledges actually read them before signing on ?

I agree....... while the intent of the group was to point out the breakdown of the Black family unit, their ignorance of basic historical facts makes their intentions just like the “good intentions” of the left - worthless.
