The stats for fatherlessness in the white/black communities are absolutely staggering...

I was reading a book called Taboo by Wilford Reilly and in the book he threw out some insane statistics in regards to fatherlessness in the United States. In 1938, fatherlessness in the white community was just 4% while in the black community it was at 11%. By 2016, those figures had absolutely skyrocketed to 36% in the white community and 73% in the black community.

How can people stand there with a straight face and say that these figures have little to no effect on the culture of our population?

I think most everybody agrees that those stats are horrible for society, but people don’t wanna admit what needs to be done to reverse that trend.

It’s the single best predictor of positive/negative outcomes for children.

Blacks with two parents in the home have slightly better outcomes than whites for example.

LBJ destroyed the black community for his own political gain and only through undoing those policies will the current trends across all demographics shift.

It's enough to make one wonder that maybe Johnsons "great society " isn't so great after all.

Well, not left wingers, honest reflection to them is like sunlight to a vampire

Our marriage system is a bad deal for men.

1. 50% of marriages end in divorce.
2. A woman can lose attraction for a guy and decide to divorce him, even though she promised to stick with him for life.
3. A woman can take 50% of a man’s money and assets if she divorces him.
4. A woman almost always gets the kids in the divorce, depriving the man of his children.
5. A woman can stop wanting to have sex with her husband and he is then stuck in a sexless marriage.

If you were presented with a business partnership where your odds of losing almost everything you cared about was 50/50, would you think that sounded like a good risk?

The power to raise that child, that used to be in the hands of the child’s father, is now in the hands of those whose decisions led to this. Not hard to understand

The United States has the HIGHEST RATE of children in single-parent households of any nation in the world.

There are over 18 million fatherless children in the US.

Fathers are absent from approximately 80% of single-parent homes.

Fatherless families are 4x more likely to live in poverty than that for married-couple families.

Fatherless children are more likely to abuse drugs and show signs of delinquent behavior.

FATHERLESS CHILDREN ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUFFER FROM PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, LIVE IN POVERTY, DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, ENGAGE IN SCHOOL VIOLENCE, ABUSE SUBSTANCES, AND ENTER THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

Father absence as a predictor of violence is robust for both male and female violence.

70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from single-parent homes

Individuals from father-absent homes are 279% more likely to carry guns and deal drugs than their peers

Most adolescents who enter the justice system have suffered from parental abandonment, substance abuse, or a dysfunctional household.

In a study of 75 juvenile delinquents, 66% experienced fatherlessness, 20% had never lived with their father, and 25% had an alcoholic father.

It has been reported that fatherless children are anywhere from 3 to 20 times more likely to be incarcerated than children raised in dual-parent households.

71% of teachers and 90% of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to violence in schools. 

In a study of 56 school shootings, only 10 of the shooters (18%) were raised in a stable home with both biological parents. 82% grew up in either an unstable family environment or grew up without both biological parents together.

Some data suggests 72 percent of adolescent murderers and 70 percent of long-term prison inmates come from fatherless homes

Children who feel closeness to their father are 80% less likely to spend time in jail

75% percent of adolescent patients in substance abuse centers are from fatherless homes.

Of America’s roughly 2 million prisoners, over 800,000 are parents—and 92 percent of those are fathers.

Around 2.7 million children have at least one parent in prison.

There are many reasons, but I put the government becoming the “daddy” and “husband” to these women as part of the problem. Feminism and the demonization of masculinity/men is also a problem.

This happened with increased availability of bc and legalized abortion.

If you are a man and you have been through a divorce and decide to get married again, you are insane. I know I will never lose half my shite again. The system is so geared towards women it's ridiculous.

He’s to pussy to address the topic. Just snipes.

In this case, the poster he sniped at deserved it. Tranny boy is still a progressive POS though.

I'm too lazy to look it up now but if I recall correctly black fatherless homes were less than whites at a certain point just prior to the civil rights act and Johnsons "great society". They fixed that and have them voting democrat for 200 years!

Do you want to address the subject within the OP or just pick out a shitty comment so you don’t have too?

You are a drive by retard. You aren’t intelligent enough to give your thoughts on a complex problem. You are a bumper sticker leftist

Sir! Are you suggesting that government cheese and Midnight Basketball leagues are NOT the answer? Racist.
