Roger Clegg notes:
. . . the National Center for Health Statistics came out with its latest numbers
yesterday (final data for 2006), and they aren't good. By population
subgroup, the percentage of children born out of wedlock is 70.7
percent for non-Hispanic blacks, 64.6 percent for American
Indians/Alaska Natives, 49.9 percent for Hispanics, 26.6 percent for
non-Hispanic whites, and 16.5 percent for Asians/Pacific Islanders.
Illegitimacy correlates with just about any social problem you can name
(poverty, crime, dropping out of school, substance abuse, etc.), and it
— not discrimination — is the principal cause of racial disparities in
all these areas. . .
Me: I am amazed at the lack of animated angst among cultural elites concerning these figures. How can they but further underscore the continuing collapse of our culture?
