Excerpt:

• In 1965, 76.4 percent of black children were born to married women.

So what changed the equation?

By the 1960s, American society was riddled with generations of “white guilt.” In reaction and repentance sparked by Dr. King’s nonviolent civil disobedience and the systemic introspection of social norms by whites, Americans overcompensated with sweeping entitlement programs under President Johnson’s “War on Poverty,” and by turning a blind eye to accountability on longstanding values and principled behavior within the African American community.

While affirmative action and desegregation jump-started social change, the unintended consequences of shifting the cultural incentives upside down were ignored.

These statistics are the part of the “honest conversation about race” the Left will never allow. At the first hint of any quantitative evidence that black Americans bear responsibility for their own outcomes, they shut you down with their favorite word: racist.
