It's also correlated to achievement.

Honest question. Did Obama ever address this? He has probably the most influence on black people ever and his opinion might have made a difference


No. Much easier to blame white people than to tell folks to stop acting like animals

To be fair there's a difference between being an unmarried mother and a truly single mother.

This article says more about blacks not marrying than it does about their children.

Oh yeah-Whites are racing to the bottom too. Just go to any convenience store for proof. It looks like a Hee Haw freak show.

BLM would get so much positive press if tried to address this rather than propping up someone like AltonSterling

It will drop back down to 77% now that Alton has been removed from the equation.

You ignore an actual problem because it doesn't fit your political agenda.

The best thing for a child is to have a stable two person home. That is a fact.

You can't support that because it wouldn't further your political party.

That is very sad.

This whole topic is sad.

3/10 for whites
8/10 for blacks
Nearly 6/10 for Hispanics

That is a truly awful statistic.

I did a little research, and this data comes from the Center for Immigration Studies. There is some controversy about that group, just so everyone is aware.

Not that the numbers aren't true.. but you all should be fully aware of the source and draw your own conclusions.

I taught my first high school class back in January of 2008. I had a really pretty and sweet Mexican girl in my class. I guess she was around 15 at the time. She had a baby the next fall and I never saw her on campus again.

I ran into her last year and couldn't recognize her as she had gained a ton of weight. She knew me though and came to say hello. She had four kids and was pregnant with her fifth. She's now, what, 24? 25?

I on the other hand was just getting married in 2008 after going to college and getting my first job. We didn't have our first kid until 2013.

It's now 2017, and we're still debating on whether or not we're ready for our next one. We have almost $30k in the bank and no debt. We'd rather wait on me to get a more secure job with a better future before popping out another kid.

I simply can't fathom how people can just screw and pop out kids without any kind of forward thinking. Further, I don't know how they manage to survive day to day.

Mate, I think the disheartening thing is this issue never gets discussed. Talking about "fixing schools" or criminal justice reform is akin to treating symptoms and flat out ignoring the cause. Schools are shite because kids have no one at home stressing education or instilling discipline. Then kids drop out and commit crime. No amount of money being poured into schools will fix that problem. Nor will making a few drugs legal fix the crime problem.
