Imputing the black cultural norm of out-of-wedlock birth to an individual black dude one doesn’t know is arguably racist, but it appears this woman was snarking at him, not seriously saying that since he’s black, he must have kids born out of wedlock, so an accusation of racism would be more tenuous. I appreciate the temptation for conservatives to put the shoe on the other foot by accusing liberals of anti-black racism, but I think we’d be wise to avoid that except when the evidence is incontrovertible. Whenever conservatives accuse liberals of racism against blacks, we legitimize that use of the race card, something that will inevitably come back to haunt us, since that particular race card is far more often deployed against us than liberals. Let us keep our heads about us and choose those fights where we stand to gain, and avoid thankless fights when we can.
I disagree that it is a “cultural norm”. Roughly 38% of black women between the ages of 18 and 44 are single with no children (the highest of all groups). Around 30% are married. Thus, the out of wedlock births are comming from around 32% of black women and individuals within this 32% tend have have on average more children than married black women (which causes high percentage of out of wedlock births).
Around 25% of black Americans fall below the poverty line and this group makes up the majority of the 32% who have children out of wedlock. Unfortunately black culture is often defined based on the behavior of its lower class as opposed to the behavior of the other 75%.
