The rate for African-Americans is actually higher than it looks on paper because immigrants from Africa have much lower out of wedlock birth rates of about 34%.
Hispanic immigrants also have much lower out of wedlock birthrates than latinas who were born in America.
Can you be a racist towards your own race? Well looks like sometimes you can.
30% of the white population comes out to about 59 million.
77% of the black population comes out to about 28 million. So his point is valid.
Assuming 62% are white and 13% black, at 30% and 77% respectably, that is about 18.5% whites vs 10% blacks of the total population have children out of wedlock.
There is one thing that has not been looked at. How many of those mothers who gave birth out of wedlock got married afterwards? How many of them are in partnerships with the baby's father? How many had one night stands? How many broke up with that guy? OOW births are one thing. What happens after is another.
Actually, religion doesn't play a role in poverty and out of wedlock births. In fact, having children out of wedlock is frowned upon. Utah isn't a particularly poor state, nor does it suffer from the rate of OOW births are other states do. And it's a religious state.
Religion represents regression in the black community.
The Mormon faith has a much more positive effect on whites in Utah than Evangelicalism does on blacks in let’s say, Georgia or Mississippi.

Really? If religion is so bad for Blacks, them why is it that so many problems currently taking place have occurred with the demise of churches? I can tell you that many so-called "pastors" aren't doing what they are suppose to. They aren't influencing their flock to do better. Sounds like it is the individuals and not religion itself.
I look at what goes on in Utah. Its members, both the men and women, are held responsible and accountable and much is expected of them.
All lies. I would expect nothing less. Conservatives are FOR responsible birth control. How about the Black women, and men take some PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY??? But no, to you it is all the Republicans' fault.
This crisis correlates directly with LBJ's Great Society, and incentivizing out of wedlock birth. In this case correlation IS causation.
No they are not, they fight tooth an nail against birth control and family planning, particularly in poor neighborhoods. Remember Hobby Lobby and the various other obstacles put in place to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Medicaid births are at obscene levels, we should be making bipartisan legislation to address this national problem.

He thinks everyone is racist and everyone conspires against black people.

I don't think he's being racist against his own race - he's telling it like it is. Timely video.
