"The fact is, the birth rate for unmarried black women (births per 1000 such women of childbearing age) is dropping, not rising. For black teens, the birth rate has fallen by half since 1970 and is now at its lowest point ever, and for black women generally the out-of-wedlock birthrate is down by about a third in that same period of time.
However, as conservatives note, it is also true that the percentage of black births that are out-of-wedlock as a share of all black births has risen, nearly doubling since 1970, and now stands at just over 72 percent.
Both of these things are true:
So of the number of sista's (period), having children is going down, but those that are, are unmarried at a rate of about 72%... The writer does a good job of turning something pretty meaningless into a near debunk of the crisis we are in. I'm impressed.
He strategically avoid comparisons to other ethnic groups in order to keep a positive vibe, that would be destroyed if the rate of whites were placed side by side with blacks...The bold red is something else of interest, but ill let it marinate for a minute...

The main takeaway is that the 70% number is deceptive as it would seem to imply that more black women are having children out of wedlock then they were in the past. That is factually incorrect. The 70% number is tied to the fact that married black women are having less children.
"It is important to realize that the "percent of births" is not a birth rate. The birth rate is the number of births for every 1,000 women in a specific category. The last marital birth rates calculated by the National Center for Health Statistics were for 2002. In 2002, the black marital birth rate was 64.9 births for every 1,000 married black women. The white marital birth rate was 88.2 for every 1,000 married white women. The black marital birth rate was 23.3 births less than the white rate. In the past, the black marital birth rate was higher than the white rate. Because there is such a low number of births among married black women, the percent of births to unmarried black women is especially high.
To summarize--there is no data to show that the black "illegitimacy" figure of 70 percent has been caused by unmarried black women having more kids than they did in the past. In fact, the trend is the exact opposite. What is clear is that the behavior of married black women has changed, to the point that married black women are actually having less kids than married white women."

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say.
If the birthrate is decreasing, that doesn't change the fact that if you look at the makeup of the next generation of blacks, 72% of these kids will have grown up in single parent households.
All these juggling with statistics and he avoids simple ideas like that. Absurd.

that's common sense idiot. but you're head makes the numbers up cause you want to create things in your head to fit your bias and argument.
Nothing in that article is common sense. You're just happy it fits your narrative.
Even if I were to concede that the out-of-wed-lock birthrate isn't a problem, my central message still remains because you have a whole bunch of other problems. What about the murder rate? What about the anti-intellectual attitude of blacks that causes them to drop out of school and not attend college? Why are so many blacks addicted to drugs?
Reply to my post.
no doubt people will try to appeal to psychology and emotions with the word slavery..... but slavery wasn't only experienced by African Americans in these United States ....... the definition of slavery comes in many shapes, sizes and forms ...... and thus one can stretch the idea of slavery in many ways ...
these problems are created by the establishment. your reagan and the laws he passed are the direct result of these problems. then YOU white people run to read up statistics and jump to conclusions. women lie men lie numbers lie.
we're living in a socially engineered society and have any control of it. sooner or later we'll become victims. whether by other blacks or white ppl. doesn't matter how good we are or act.
Go on...
Exactly. We might as well rob our own brothers, shoot our brothers, sell crack to our sisters, because hey fukk it, we're all victims.
are white women numbers going up? why don't yall worry about what yall women are doing instead of others."The fact is, the birth rate for unmarried black women (births per 1000 such women of childbearing age) is dropping, not rising.
