Not reading all five pages (because I've read this thread about 100 times). But has anyone looked at the source of this article?
Typical conservative wingnut website masquerading as "hard news".

So there are zero problems in the black community? What if MSNBC had published this?

Moynihan, in his report’s conclusion declared, “at the heart of the deterioration of the fabric of Negro society is the deterioration of the Negro family. It is the fundamental source of the weakness of the Negro community at the present time.”
Not much has changed, according to the new report’s findings.
“An analysis of national data indicates that little progress has been made on the key issues Moynihan identified,” wrote Gregory Acs, of the Urban Institute, in a statement released with the report. “Further, many of the issues he identified for Black families are now prevalent among other families.”
Three major factors were at the heart of the Moynihan report: the number of Black children who lived in homes without a father, the number of unmarried women giving birth and the number of Black women married and living with their spouse.
In 1950, 17 percent of Black children lived in a home with their mother but not their father. By 2010 that had increased to 50 percent. In 1965, eight percent of childbirths in the Black community occurred among unmarried women. In 2010 that figure was 41 percent. The number of Black women married and living with their spouse was recorded as 53 percent in 1950. By 2010, it had dropped to 25 percent.

I didn't really pay attention to the source. I was more focused on the stats and percentages. Seemed like the author was trying to figure out what the hell is going on and used stats and numbers to add to the story. Didn't seem like a hate or agenda piece either.
