The article immediately notes that progressive commentators see nothing at all wrong with widespread illegitimacy. So long as that holds true, the downward spiral will continue unabated.

Welcome to Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty.

The Nominal Goal: Reduce Poverty in the U.S.
The Actual Goal: Create a permanent underclass, mostly African American, who will vote overwhelmingly for Democrat candidates at every level.

Let's score those goals:

Nominal Goal: 0% successful
Actual Goal: 100% successful

Fatherless boys are the SCOURGE of our country. Fathers are the ones who teach their sons how to deal with adult male authority. Our prisons are stuffed with fatherless boys.
BLACK fathers' absence create the worst situation for black fatherless boys who never learn to deal with adult male WHITE authority--UNTIL they are in prison.

Media sources who ignore this do this world NO service.

===================================

So long as that holds true, the downward spiral will continue unabated.

SO TRUE.

I don’t think it’s much better for whites. And throw in the divorce rate and you’ll see that most children are not living in the normal original mother/father/children family these days.

Black American families have lagged behind white American families for a LONG, long time--pre-LBJ, I think.
There was always the illegitimacy problem. That is one of the "hallmarks" of poor people...missing the stable father.

I often say the black family unit is the canary in the coal mine of America, what happens to them will eventually happen to all.

It’s nowhere near 72% rate I can guarantee you that. White’s have their issues with morality no doubt. But fatherless homes isn’t the biggest issue on the burner for whites.

I honestly don’t see how blacks will survive a generation from now should this continue.

About 25% of white, non-Hispanic children live in single-parent households.

If Lyndon Johnson's 'War on Poverty' had offered just a few hundred dollars MORE a month, Democrats could have totally destroyed white families too. Perverse incentives work regardless of race... luckily for white young women in the 60's the bribe to horror wasn't quite high enough.
