    btw, this just happened at a high school that was in the news in 2018 for having a large number of the graduating class do a picture in front of the school giving the nazi salute. Just looking at the look on the daughter after her dad ran up on stage is shows that he ruined her big moment.

    Black single parent households:
    1960 - 22%
    2013 - 55%
    2022 - 63%
    Black Family Structure in Decline Since the 1960s: The Home Effect (theblackwallsttimes.com)
    Children in single-parent families by race and ethnicity | KIDS COUNT Data Center (aecf.org)

    Likelyhood of being incarcerated as a black man:
    Single parent or step parent - 50%
    Both biological parents together - 14%
    Less Poverty, Less Prison, More College: What Two Parents Mean For Black and White Children | Institute for Family Studies (ifstudies.org)
    It wasn't Jim Crow laws that did this (of course). It was the "Great Society" under LBJ and a Democratic majority in Congress. Incentivizing single parent households was a mistake. Family structures should be invisible to the government, but the worst model is the one that rewards single parent homes, because they are destructive to society.

    How will Trump make all the deadbeat dads breeding and then leaving stay with the mother of their children, work, and provide them a better life? Not all men who don't take marriage and safe sex seriously have the kind of money guys like Jalen Greene have.

    So do you really think Trump is going to make things better for black Americans or the richest of the rich? Do you think he will make their healthcare more affordable, and their tax credits better? Will the justice system help those being wrongfully assaulted or killed by police be better with Trump? Will he implement more social services programs for mentoring the youth? Will he make the air and water they breathe cleaner and safer by stripping regs for billionaire oil and chemical companies? Will he tackle price gouging that his MAGA reps have voted against doing anything about? Will him allowing states to make contraceptives illegal make things better? Will Trump give them more opportunities by taking away discrimination laws? Will he make their homes safer by stripping away gun safety regs when there is a domestic abuser in the household?

    Permanently extending the expiring provisions of the Trump tax cuts would cost $4 trillion over the next 10 years, $400 billion per year.* This includes $3.4 trillion from extending the expiring individual and estate tax provisions as well as $551 billion from extending business provisions…

    “An extension would provide, on average, a larger tax cut for extremely rich households than for everyone else. Households with incomes of more than $500,000 per year—roughly the top 2 percent of households by income—would receive a larger tax cut than households making $200,000 per year, not just in dollars terms but also as a percentage of their after-tax income. And the households making $200,000 per year would receive a larger tax cut than those making $50,000 or less per year.”

    …and as if that wasn’t bad enough, MAGA Mike Johnson is preparing an extreme “mega-bill” that could threaten millions of Black Americans’ access to affordable health care.

    Biden achieved both the lowest Black unemployment rate on record and the lowest gap between Black and White unemployment on record.

    Cut in half the number of Black children living in poverty in 2021 through ARP’s Child Tax Credit expansion. This expansion provided breathing room to the families of over 9 million Black children.

    He began reversing decades of infrastructure disinvestment, including with $4 billion to reconnect communities that were previously cut off from economic opportunities by building needed transportation infrastructure in underserved communities, including Black communities.

    Black business ownership is growing at the fastest pace in 30 years, and the share of Black households owning a business has doubled between 2019 and 2022, after falling between 2007 and 2019. The number and dollar value of SBA-backed loans to Black-owned businesses has more than doubled since 2020.”

    I think you mistook my factual rebuttal to a statement as an endorsement of Donald Trump. It was not. The answer to the question of how you cut down on deadbeat dads breeding and then leaving is to reverse the policies that led to the explosion of single parent households starting in the 1960s.

    These clowns like "it isn't just the Moniker which is Stupid". Like to post "facts" without any substance behind them. White men destroyed the nuclear black family by making policy which destroyed these families. It isn't just the Moniker which is stupid ignores things like the "man in the house rule" which didn't allow for a man to live or even stay over too much and receive government assistance. Black men came back from WW2 and couldn't find jobs. Their family couldn't collect government assistance with him living in the home with his family, so he left. This provision was strongly enforced with surprise inspections all the time. Tons of policies enacted by white men had the goal, expressed or not, of destroying the black family.

    During the Jim Crow era, families were generally more intact across various racial groups, including white and Asian communities. Even without looking at statistics, this is likely a factual observation. At that time, unwed childbirth, premarital sex, and divorce were considered taboo, but these views have relaxed significantly over the years. This societal shift isn't due to government policies and isn't specific to the United States. It's a global phenomenon where people are increasingly seeing marriage, unwed sex, and divorce as less significant (social taboo) issues.

    Many social conservatives who support traditional "family values" (such as Trump, cough cough) often use this correlation to argue that government policies are to blame. To explain its worldwide nature, they might claim that a global movement of elites is promoting these so-called dangerous ideas to the masses.

    Poverty is a much more concise and simple explanation.

    What's your solution to helping the women and kids with deadbeat loser dads who breed and leave? I don't see how Republican ideals for getting rid of affordable healthcare, banning contraceptives, eliminating tax credits, cutting social services and public school funding, equal opportunity, etc... is going to make their situations better.
