Breakdown of the Black Family, and Its Consequences - Discover the Networks

According to the modern-day civil-rights establishment, most of the problems that currently afflict African Americans result directly from the intractable white racism that allegedly continues to plague blacks in every region of the country -- across all age groups, all educational levels, and all income brackets. This civil-rights elite largely ignores the role of issues within the black community, such as the calamitous breakdown of the black family since the 1960s, in framing its critique.

In mid-1960s America, the nation's out-of-wedlock birth rate (which stood at 7.7 percent at the time) began a rapid and relentless climb across all demographic lines, a climb that would continue unabated until 1994, when the Welfare Reform Act put the brakes on that trend. Today the overall American illegitimacy rate is about 33 percent (26 percent for whites). For blacks, it hovers at near 70 percent (currently, it is over 80%)—approximately three times the level of black illegitimacy that existed when the War on Poverty began in 1964.

Illegitimacy is an important issue because it has a great influence on all statistical indicators of a population group’s progress or decline. In 1987, for the first time in the history of any American racial or ethnic group, the birth rate for unmarried black women surpassed that for married black women, and that trend continued uninterrupted until the passage of welfare reform. The black out-of-wedlock birth rates in some inner cities now exceed 80 percent, and most of those mothers are teens. Because unmarried teenage mothers—whatever their race—typically have no steady employment, nearly 80 percent of them apply for welfare benefits within five years after giving birth to their first child. No group can withstand such a wholesale collapse of its family structure without experiencing devastating social consequences.

Father-absent families—black and white alike—generally occupy the bottom rung of our society’s economic ladder. Unwed mothers, regardless of their race, are four times more likely to live in poverty than the average American. Female-headed black families earn only 36 percent as much as two-parent black families, and female-headed white families earn just 46 percent as much as two-parent white families. Not only do unmarried mothers tend to earn relatively little, but their households are obviously limited to a single breadwinner—thus further widening the income gap between one-parent and two-parent families. Fully 85 percent of all black children in poverty live in single-parent, mother-child homes.

While the overall black poverty rate remains about two-and-a-half times higher than the white poverty rate (24 percent vs. 10 percent), the “face” of black poverty has changed dramatically in recent decades. At one time, almost all black families were poor, regardless of whether one or both parents were present. Today, however, two-parent black families are rarely poor. Among black families where both the husband and wife work full-time, the current poverty rate is a mere 2 percent. Moreover, the relatively small (13 percent) income disparity between black and white two-parent families completely disappears when we take into account such factors as occupational choices, educational attainment, age, geographic location, and comparative skills.

Children in single-parent households are raised not only with economic, but also social and psychological, disadvantages. For instance, they are four times as likely as children from intact families to be abused or neglected; much likelier to have trouble academically; twice as prone to drop out of school; three times more likely to have behavioral problems; much more apt to experience emotional disorders; far likelier to have a weak sense right and wrong; significantly less able to delay gratification and to control their violent or sexual impulses; two-and-a-half times likelier to be sexually active as teens; approximately twice as likely to conceive children out-of-wedlock when they are teens or young adults; and three times likelier to be on welfare when they reach adulthood.

In addition, growing up without a father is a far better forecaster of a boy’s future criminality than either race or poverty. Regardless of race, 70 percent of all young people in state reform institutions were raised in fatherless homes, as were 60 percent of rapists, 72 percent of adolescent murderers, and 70 percent of long-term prison inmates. As Heritage Foundation scholar Robert Rector has noted, “Illegitimacy is a major factor in America's crime problem. Lack of married parents, rather than race or poverty, is the principal factor in the crime rate.”

Since the black illegitimacy rate is so high, these pathologies plague blacks more than they affect any other demographic. “Even if white people were to become morally rejuvenated tomorrow,” writes black economist and professor Walter E. Williams, “it would do nothing for the problems plaguing a large segment of the black community. Illegitimacy, family breakdown, crime, and fraudulent education are devastating problems, but they are not civil rights problems.”

The civil-rights establishment, however, paints a very different picture, characterizing such problems as nothing more than by-products of white racism. That view, through decades of constant repetition, has won the minds of many black Americans. “Instead of admitting that racism has declined,” observes Shelby Steele, “we [blacks] argue all the harder that it is still alive and more insidious than ever. We hold race up to shield us from what we do not want to see in ourselves.”

It bears mention that the astronomical illegitimacy rate among African Americans is a relatively recent phenomenon. As late as 1950, black women nationwide were more likely to be married than white women, and only 9 percent of black families with children were headed by a single parent. In the 1950s, black children had a 52 percent chance of living with both their biological parents until age seventeen; by the 1980s those odds had dwindled to a mere 6 percent. In 1959, only 2 percent of black children were reared in households in which the mother never married; today that figure approaches 60 percent.

The destruction of this stable black family was set in motion by the policies and teachings of the left, which for decades have encouraged blacks to view themselves as outcasts from a hostile American society; to identify themselves as perpetual victims who are entitled to compensatory privileges designed to “level the playing field” in a land where discrimination would otherwise run rampant; and to reject “white” norms and traditions as part and parcel of the “racist” culture that allegedly despises blacks. It is not inconceivable that one of those traditions which many blacks have chosen to abjure is the institution of marriage. In their landmark book America in Black and White, Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom make this profoundly important observation:

“In the past three decades the proportion of intact married-couple families has declined precipitously even though the fraction of black women aged fifteen to forty-four who were divorced, separated, or widowed also went down.… It is thus not divorce but the failure to marry that has led to such a momentous change in black family patterns. The marriage rate for African Americans has plummeted in the past third of a century. In 1960 … lack women were only a shade less likely to marry than white women.... Today a clear majority of African American women aged fifteen to forty-five have never been married, as compared with just a third of their white counterparts…. Many fewer black women are marrying, and yet they continue to have children—which was not the case in an earlier era.”

dimocraps are just stupid.

And useless

"But as David Ellwood and Lawrence Summers have shown, welfare benefits could not have played a major role in the rise of out-of-wedlock births because benefits rose sharply in the 1960s and then fell in the 1970s and 1980s, when out-of-wedlock births rose most."

Look at the sharp decrease in the poverty rate for Blacks AFTER 1959 and after the Great Society was enacted. It was certainly higher during the Reagan years than it is during the Obama years.

BUT IT (Black Poverty) IS HIGHER UNDER OBAMA than it was under bush in ANY Bush year; even when the economy nosedived.

idiots and hypocrites

The Washington Times





Jan 28, 2013 - The black unemployment rate was 12.7 percent when Mr. Obama took office. ... The worst during Mr Obama's first term was in September 2011, with 16.7 .... Black Democrats are the racists who play the race card and defend ...

What ideology actively works to discriminate, and has historically worked to discriminate against blacks, including enslaving them:

[ ] A. Liberal

[ ] B. Conservative

Answer is B.

No fair just repeating liberal lies.

There is nothing in conservative history that agrees with your liberal lying BS. If there were you would have certainly posted it. Thus you are what you are.....

IT'S COMICAL!!

a left-wing nutjob with the gall to accuse Repubs of talking about their hey-day?


LMAO!

all you hear from left-wing nutjobs is how a MINORITY OF people the Left INSISTS they are superior to in every way are somehow able to "hold hostage" and "obstruct" those suposedly brilliant Progressive minds IN THE MAJORITY

You expect anyone to take this crap seriously?

Yeah..black Americans are poor because they brought it on themselves.

It has nothing to do with over 200 years of oppression..the poverty just happened.

Gosh.

You folks are silly.

200 years of oppression at the Hands of the Democratic Party and their militant branch The KKK - ... At least 3,446 blacks and 1,297 white Republicans died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964.

Ahhh the republican days of old. If I was republican I'd be ashamed of the current state of the GOP too.

Edge reminds me of the fat girl who talks about how sexy she was in High School.

Well said.

The GOP's Problem was that when all the slack-jawed southern racists left the Democratic Party in the 1960's, the GOP embraced them with open arms. They played politics on crime, on segregation, affirmative action and so on.

And it paid off. When Whites were 88% of the vote in 1980, Reagan was able to beat Carter with 51% of the vote becaue he got 56% of the White vote. In 1984, he got 66% of the White vote, but only 9% of the black vote.

Flash forward to 2012. After years of Welfare Queens and Young Bucks and Willie Horton and White Hands and Harold Ford at the playboy mansion, capped off with "Hey, we need to see your birth certificate", Mitt Romney got a whopping 59% of the White Vote.

Unfortunately, whites are only 72% of the electorate. So that just isn't good enough anymore.

He got 6% of the black vote. Hmmmm. I guess that happens when you belong to a religion that calls dark skin a curse from God.

And trotting out a few Uncle Toms like Ben Carson or Mia Love ain't going to do it.
