The statistics may be what they are, but there are also human stories that go along with it. Are you telling me that you don't know people who had a child before they got married or had a child and just "shacked up"?
Looking deeper than simply the "statistics" is getting more of the story behind the statistics. That's not "spinning" anything; it's called being intelligent and rational instead of being ignorant and reactionary. Why do you think that I would have to "clear my conscience? I don't have any children out of wedlock.................
It doesn't matter if I know people like that are not. It doesn't change the fact that 64 percent of black children are raised in a father-absent home.
I don't need the story behind the statistics, the statistics speak for themselves. If you're not spinning then you are certainly trying to minimize the importance or downplay the stats which is neither intelligent or rational.
Do I need to define the word "if" for you?
Then why not answer the question? Is your answer no or yes? Are you telling me that some women (of any race) don't lie and say that they don't have a man living with them, so they can continue to collect benefits? Do you not think that there are no women who are married, have the husband in the house, yet lie to the state and say that they are separated and the husband doesn't live there, so they can continue to collect benefits?
