Came across this while looking up some health statistics...I didn't believe it when I heard it the first time, but according to the Child Trends Databank it's true: Seven out of every ten African-American children are born to an unmarried mother.




A little bit of editorializing here: This is a tragedy. I don't see how anyone could say with a straight face that this isn't a problem for the black community and for American society at large. I'd go a step further and say it's directly linked to the culture. Ok I vented.
