it's good for all ethnic groups

Compared to whites, black women and (especially) men are less likely to say they want to marry. -Also from the study.

Different cultural values

again shows that ethnic segregation is a good thing for all people

but

on a global squale

nations for blacks

not just neighborhoods

The welfare state destroyed marriage in black families in large part as well. Incentivising single motherhood is never a good idea.

Figures 1 and 2 are very interesting

they show divorce rates over a hundred years

for blacks and whites

In sum, in the early part of the 20th century, urbanization and other shifts in the economy occurred alongside gradual but modest increases in divorce, especially among blacks. In the years immediately following World War II, unanticipated economic prosperity boosted marriage rates, but only temporarily. Broader cultural trends that emphasized individual choice and gender equality contributed to a growing divorce rate. Divorce among blacks had begun to rise earlier, and the postwar marriage boom didn’t last as long for blacks as it did for whites. By the 1960s, the proportion of blacks who ever married had started to decline. Divorce among whites began rising later, but divorce rates for both whites and blacks accelerated substantially in the 1970s. Starting in 1980, as the gap between the wages of more- and less-educated people started to widen, the educational gradient in divorce began to grow as well.

and blacks have always had superior divorce rates

Predating the time of welfare

for blacks, I mean

welfare for blacks really started with Lyndon Johnson

Figures 1 and 2 go back to 1880

Yeah, but look at the jump right after Johnson's term.

Yeah, I know

It's signifigant.

Indeed.

subsidize single parents

It's obvious the creation of the welfare state contributed greatly.

Right.

it's just bad welfare

there's the same in the UK

free money for single moms

The other big jump is WW2.

baby boom, i'm assumming

Baby boom was 60s.

Civil rights, feminism

And 50s.

not sure then

any ideas

Yeah, WW2.
