Yep...this article quotes Walter E. WIlliams, he breaks down the cause of the shootings in Chicago......unwed teenage mothers...
The Most Dangerous City In America Is About To Get Worse Because Of THIS
Walter E. Williams broke down the numbers in 2015 for CNSNews:
Today the overwhelming majority of black children are raised in single female-headed families. As early as the 1880s, three-quarters of black families were two-parent. In 1925 New York City, 85 percent of black families were two-parent. One study of 19th-century slave families found that in up to three-fourths of the families, all the children had the same mother and father.
Today’s black illegitimacy rate of nearly 75 percent is also entirely new. In 1940, black illegitimacy stood at 14 percent. It had risen to 25 percent by 1965, when Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action” and was widely condemned as a racist. By 1980, the black illegitimacy rate had more than doubled, to 56 percent, and it has been growing since. Both during slavery and as late as 1920, a teenage girl raising a child without a man present was rare among blacks.
This is the heart of the gang violence issue in Chicago and across the country in urban centers, and it is not isolated to the black population. There is the same breakdown of the family structure among white Americans as well, albeit not to the degree of the black community. Fathers are largely absent from the scene, and where there is no father figure in the picture, children’s lives on the overall are much worse than those who have fathers in their homes.
