Welfare as a way for teen girls to escape bad homes. Thus the cycle repeats and repeats.

Is should alarm parents that the ghetto culture that Hollywood glamourizes ("I don't need a father for my baby, bastard children raised by a single mother is awesome" -Jennifer Anison) is slowly creeping its way into middle-class America. Gay marriage was only the beginning of the end of traditional nuclear families that form the rock base of every thriving community.

That is the amount of children born out of wedlock. It is not the amount of children raised by a single parent. Either way, if you want to know why someone would have a baby knowing that there is a big chance that they will be raising the baby alone, you need to ask them.

Why are people acting like this is brand new information? It's been going on for years.

I did ask them.

And the study says "72% of Black kids are raised in a single parent household".

NOT "children born out of wedlock".


Why do you want to change the findings of the study?

I'm not acting like it's new.

I'm asking WHY 72% of Black kids are raised in a single parent household.
