> > But by the mid-1980s, black fatherlessness skyrocketed. Today, only 44% of black children have a father in the home. In unison, the rate of black out-of-wedlock births went from 24.5% in 1964 to 70.7% by 1994, roughly where it stands today.

Jesus Christ, that is an atrocity. Thank you for digging out that one.

But what I wonder... is this a result of the welfare policy you mentioned, or rather a result of way too many Black fathers ending up in prison, gangs or dead as a result of "selective enforcement" and other abuses of police power?
