Most will blame LBJ and the Great Society, but that's really only part of the problem. People dont just think "hey I have a welfare program so I dont need marriage" in a literal sense.

Blacks stuck together more before the 1970s because racism in education, housing etc meant that in order to survive you had to support each other. This also ties in with Black Universities and businesses as well.

Now I'm not saying Blacks should have left it all behind, simply that interdependence played a role in staying together.

Imagine if you and 2 family members you have bad relationships with were stuck on island with few resources not knowing when help would arrive. Youd have to work together and put aside your differences to live on.
