The ghettos are a mess because of modern day slavery. Welfare and regulations.
The ghetto children are a mess because the lack of fathers in the home. broken families mean broken children.
And the eugenics epidemic that we have allowed has crushed black people and the ghettos of their potentially best and brightest. A community can't crawl out of the hole if they are losing almost 50% of all births to eugenics.
Why are poor people more likely to separate?
I have found that people's expectations of marriage are completely out of whack with reality.
I once had a conversation with some girl from Nebraska, it was when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Annison were getting married. I said that it didn't matter when they were getting married, but when they'd get divorced.
Cue the Nebraska girl coming out with a rant about how you got married and stayed happy for the rest of your lives.
Then who got divorced?
The 50's view of marriage has caused so many problems, also people don't know what to expect for their partners before they get married. How to keep the relationship together etc.
Some of the most important skills in our lives and we're never, ever taught then, asked to think about them, schools simply ignore these issues as not being worthwhile, or that people should struggle through life and try and figure it out on their own because no one should ever tell them.
Same with many other skills, like child rearing.
However it really is so important for society to think about these things.
I was gonna bold and answer by point but that last bit is almost the same thing.
1. Welfare is set up in a way to provide more money for single parent homes. Since poor people are on welfare there is an increase to single parent homes.
I Would love to see more welfare money given to married families and less to single parent homes.
2. Ok on the "50's view of marriage" and on how people don't know what to expect or look for in a husband or wife.
This is learned by modeling your parents. Ofc people don't think you need two parents if trey grew up I. A single parent home. They don't know anything else, so they don't see or understand the benefit to children.
As for the government or society teaching us how to pick a husband or a wife ..... Sorry but that's chosen through family expierence and values. The government has no business in that area, it's bad enough the crap they teach in public schools now. Child rearing is learned from your family.
Poor people have had eugenics pushed on them so their families are smaller and people are allowed to act irresponsibly.
Had they had their children and was dependent on having a family to raise that child then better life choices would have been made.
I don't necessarily see the correlation in what you wrote between welfare and single parent families. I think you're right, the ability for the woman to leave an abusive husband, or a husband to leave an abusive wife, or many other such situations where people find it easier to walk out on their spouse is helped by having welfare there.
Is this a positive or a negative thing? I'd say it's positive. Too many people over the course of history have had to endure abusive relationships.
Things don't suddenly become good for the kids because you're forcing their parents to stick together. Guys who fuck around will fuck around and be absent from their kids' lives. You're not helping the situation here, you're merely washing over the cracks.
You want husbands and fathers to be good husbands and good fathers. Some never will be. Some you can change by educating them BEFORE they become husbands and fathers so they're going to be better at both.
Until you change these things, you're not having much of a positive impact on society at all. Just condemning many women to a hard life with less money and being told how bad they are for having an abusive husband.
As for people picking and choosing a wife or husband, you think it's chosen through family experience and values. Oh great, well as the US progresses towards the future, less people have a positive family experience and less values, so less people have a good basis on which to base their decision and therefore we're headed towards a situation where no one has these over time.
It's all about decision making though. And decision making is the most important skill that needs to be learned in schools. Looking at relationships, asking kids those tough questions so they can hear what other kids have to say on the matter, have to be able to vocalize their thoughts on the matter, so that when they come fact to fact with the matter in hand, they're better prepared to make those decisions.
To simply say it should be based on a person's experience, when they hardly have any experience to go from, is ridiculous.
If I took my family, my father got my mother pregnant and then they married. That's the only reason they married. Yes they learned to cooperate, but part of their cooperation was learned from ME. I went off to live in another country, came back and spoke about how the men do absolutely nothing and the women have to do everything and my mother went and made my dad do stuff, even though she's the strong one in the relationship.
I didn't learn from my parents, I learned from my own mistakes, from luck, from criticizing other people who were fucking up their own relationships.
I lived with some girl who got married to some absolute moron who had been married before, had a kid, had left the army all by the age of 24, and was marrying some girl who he couldn't communicate well with, and if I had kept in contact with them, I'd bet they had divorced a long time ago.

You make it out that a bad father is worse than no father at all..... That is only a legitimate option if the father is abusing the children. In that case the mother should leave and find a new husband who can step in and help raise the children. Outside of a criminal .... Even a bad father is better than no father at all.
Choosing a husband/wife
On the point about poor decisions on mates these days based off of learned expierence and broken homes . This we agree about and this is also why I have always felt this is a bigger deal than has been promoted. Single parent homes, anti religion push, and the feminist movement have all contributed to this issue.
On modeling your parents/family when it comes to relationships or choosing a husband/wife:

Tried to post snippets from these articles but it won't allow me.
As for your expierence I wonder why you have spent a lifetime with your parents and haven't learned from them?
Positive or negative is irrelevant because either way you will learn and it will affect how you choose your mate.
