Subsidized whoring isn't sustainable.

Family law has ruined marriage. Women are financially incentivized to leave their husbands. Young men have wised up to the game.

Children being born out of wedlock has increased amongst all races. Except for asians.
Blacks are still the worst though and still getting worse. But whites and hispanics are getting worse too. They will prob never catch the blacks, they are too far ahead.

Quit rewarding the behavior. It's that simple. The welfare state is a career for some women. I see young people putting off marriage after children are born for the WIC bennies.

Why the cultural shift?
Culture is race-agnostic and much more aligned with economic status.

For the increase? I'd think so. Minority rates are higher but I doubt the rates have increased much, if any, since 1995.

Is this your anti white bigotry?

It’s definitely largely due to white women. The black women have long since about maxed out on out of wedlock birth; white illegitimacy is increasing rapidly, though.

Agree.
I’d like to know the race of the fathers.

No bigotry at all. I'm not saying they're doing it because they're white or anything associated with their race. I said culture is race-agnostic, specifically.

It's kind of the same thing behind MAGA.
When it was black males (typically in urban areas) making -EV economic choices and a culture of pathology grew around that, we criticized them for the lack of good decision-making. Leftists laid the blame at institutions as to why the pathology developed.
When it's white males (typically in less urban areas that are more associated with halcyon Americana) making -EV economic choices and a culture of pathology grows around that, MAGA looks to institutions as to why the pathology developed.
This is why you see the knee jerk reflexes attacking my initial point.

There are 2 good Freakanomics episodes on this. You can see the development of a former hardcore leftist academic being illuminated with the truth.
The Fracking Boom, a Baby Boom, and the Retreat From Marriage
The Facts Are In: Two Parents Are Better Than One
The scary part is that there seems to be a threshold culturally where you can't just reverse the culture with economic development. There are some extra steps (in addition to the economic development) that are necessary to create a new, non-pathological culture.

Over 40 percent of U.S. births are to unmarried mothers, and the numbers are especially high among the less-educated. Why? One argument is that the decline in good manufacturing jobs led to a decline in “marriageable” men. Surely the fracking boom reversed that trend, right?

In her new book The Two-Parent Privilege, the economist Melissa Kearney says it’s time for liberals to face the facts: U.S. marriage rates have plummeted but the babies keep coming, and the U.S. now leads the world in single-parent households. Plus: our friends at Atlas Obscura explore just how many parents a kid can have.

I think you see knee jerk reactions because “racism” has been weaponized and used to neutralize truth and honest analysis.

Negative expected value. A choice with a likely bad outcome.
From Google AI:
quote:
EV is the average cost or payout of something, based on the probability of each possible outcome.
EV is calculated by multiplying the probability of each outcome by its potential return or loss, and then subtracting the losses from the returns.
A negative EV means that the losses outweigh the returns.
A positive EV means that the returns outweigh the losses.
An EV of zero means that the losses and returns are equal, and you can expect to break even.
