Much has been made over the decades as to why blacks still lag behind in IQ scores, income, and have high incarceration rates. All to often the answer becomes, "oh its a legacy of racism and slavery."
The answer and the real reason is known but kept really quiet. Are you ready?
The percentage of black children born to single moms is 70%. Thats right, 70% of black children are born to single moms. In some areas it is much higher. Also, the rate peaked at around 74% a few years ago.
As late as 1950 the rate was 20%. What happened?
This is why no one wants to talk about it - it would muddy the name of LBJ and his Great Society program. During the 1960s his welfare schemes actually gave more money to single moms than married couples. So, a lot of black parents would divorce to get more money. The rate shot up from 20-30% to 70%+ almost overnight.
Of course, no one will ever talk about this in public. The 60s value system says that if a woman wants to be a single mom, she should be. Nothing wrong, no harm, no foul, no consequences. In todays society the ultimate hero is the single mom that works and supports her kids. No one in liberal America wants to admit that the conservative family of a mother and a father has worked best for millions of years, and continues to do so.
So there you have it. There are two generations of black children raised without fathers.
I'm not going to bother to check this thread, I am sure I am going to get flamed for this.
