re: New data: nearly 80% of black babies born to single moms, up 5% from 2012

Sad, sad, sad...and this number will continue to climb given our current climate/society.

And one of my favorite terms (actually one of liberals favorite buzzwords) popped up in this thread a while back.

"Institutional Racism"...WTF does that even mean? Is the Federal Govt racist? Is there a university system that's racist? Is a corporation like McDonald's racist? Banks? Where exactly are these "institutions" that are racist?

Are there racist people out there? Sure. Point em out and let's shout them down together. I'll be right there to denounce them.

Actually, now that I think about it, probably the closest thing we have to "institutional racism" in this country is affirmative action. A policy that explicitly shows favoritism for some over others solely based on race.

That form is ok though I guess....roll my damn eyes.

LOL.

You hoped Obama would try to solve one of the key drivers of a guaranteed vote for Democrats?

You also sit around all day expecting random blow jobs from super models too, don't ya.

because the gov't gives her money for them. i guarandamntee you that if they knew they wouldn't get financial assistance they would not be having all these babies.

Despite complete liberal denial on this subject, it is in fact COMMON for poor young women to PLAN to have children to get the welfare.

Sure, that's completely retarded to us normal people. But, it is what it is.

When I see a liberal act like this is unheard of, I wonder what the frick rock they're under.

If you think single parents have it better off than double parents, then there isn't a problem I guess.

"Facts give people the opportunity to be racist"

That is the most stupid gobblety goop on here this week.

Who the hell thinks that is "intelligent"?

What's troubling is that less than 1/5 black babies were born to unmarried mothers in the 40's (lower rate than whites), and now 8/10 are being born to unmarried mothers.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know if the cultural institution of 'marriage' existed in Africa pre-slavery/European invasion? If it reflects negatively, likely been purged from the historical record.

Not to imply that there were not other societal/cultural forms of child bearing/rearing. I.e., "it takes a village".

Whatever. All comes out in the wash.

if you could prove that worldwide, there is a correlation between belief in jesus and out of wedlock birthrates, you would have a point. 

trouble is, no such correlation exists. so you're pretty much just talking nonsense. but that's what we're here for, right?

You clearly missed what I was saying. Jesus is not the only hope for more ideal birth statistics, though if everyone lived according to Christian principles it should certainly lower the number of births to unwed/single mothers.

Sin a bounds everywhere and in everyone and it leads to destruction both here on earth and after death. Christ is needed for forgiveness and communion with God, which will produce the kind of obedience that reduces the amount sin and destruction we see every day.

Being a Christian doesn't mean being sinless but it should result in a life of obedience to God and sin being driven out of the Christian over time until they are perfectly sinless in Heaven after death. There are a lot of people who profess Christ and yet do not have Him as their savior. The modern church is producing more and more of these false believers and these people have no problem living just like "the world".
