I have a fb friend who is a black man with a pro-black page and he squarely blames black women for choosing welfare money over a man in the house. But he also blames the government and says the welfare polices were designed TO destroy the black family this way. IDK how that works, when the same rules were applied to whites as well.
The white out of wedlock birth rate has skyrocketed as well. I do think the polities were designed to destroy families. But I don't necessarily think they were just aimed at black families, but they have had a larger impact on black families.
Black folks haven’t even been able to nail down why this keeps happening, therefore white folks DAMN SURE don’t know. The black family dynamic is at the bottom of this thing, and there’s no way in hell that white folks have a good enough glimpse of that to make any real synopsis that’s worth listening to. The black community (if you wanna call it that) is too insular and clannish for me to trust the opinion of an outsider.
I'm sure it's true that white people don't have specific insights into black family dynamics. The problem is that a lot of black people--especially so called 'black leaders' prominent in the mainstream media--deny or minimize that this is a very serious problem.

I think that we are capable of learning. Just the one study conducted among married black men had a lot of good insight. I don't think that black Americans are so inscrutable.
Black women, more than white women might be predispositioned to accept that a man will probably not be able to take care of them. They see it every where they are and on TV. This doesn't stop them from wanting to be mothers. Notwithstanding that the divorce rate is so high. Single mothers are everywhere and many single moms both white and black are educated and doing financially okay. I think that the unwed mother statistic can be traced to the rise in the divorce rate.
If the rate weren't such an extreme outlier, it wouldn't be an issue. Many people are concerned because single-parent households are correlated strongly with childhood poverty.
