Welfare just about destroyed the Black family in the U. S. Something like 65 to 70% of all births to Black women, are to single unmarried women.

Ok, so explain why it did so much more damage to them than other groups.

Indeed, indeed. A point I have long tried to make here on FR.

Personal choice trumps all.

You have to CHOOSE to ACCEPT handouts from the government.

In the susceptible sectors, I’m not convinced it did.

The fact that unmarried births to Whites has risen considerably, reveals that in the lower income sector, things have gone south. Attitudes have also changed. Youv’e got your well to do Whites who now think a man is not necessary to the raising of a child.

The low income sector for Whites doesn’t get the pass that the sector for a minority would. For that reason, I believe it hasn’t been as acceptable in the White community to go this route. Whether that actually plays a role in it or not, that sector for Whites has remained small as compared to the overall population base of Whites, so the percentage is lower.

Over the last decade it has seemed like Whites were willing to give Blacks a more robust competition, to see who could have the most out of wedlock kids though.
