Women who screw like rabbits without protection are practicing "stupid sex."

It's always fallen on women to be the smarter ones and protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy. The consequences of pregnancy were severe until recently, so women were extra careful.

Today? No biggie. There's no social stigma (in some circles) and the taxpayers provide financial support for 18 years.

It's because the demographic group most likely to have unwed births are represented at higher rates in red states. That demographic group also overwhelmingly votes Dem. The problem isn't right-wingers.

Sex is awesome. It's the most fun anyone can have. It can also ruin your life. Did they stop teaching sex ed?

If a profile was done on the current welfare system how would it be different from what we see in that video?
The 1996 welfare reforms simply moved people off of welfare and onto SSDI.

An entire industry was born, the sole purpose of which was to "help" people qualify for SSDI.

That's pretty much an apt description of the human species.

Thanks for sharing, what an alarmingly accurate video that details where the problems came from.

Edit: that same channel has another video called, “1986: The Vanishing Black family” which I encourage all liberals to immediately watch to know how bad they destroyed the Black household with welfare policies

Facts:
SNAP recipients represent different races and/or ethnicities. White: about 37 percent; African American: 26 percent; Hispanic: 16 percent; Asian: 3 percent; and Native American: about 2 percent. (About 16 percent of participants are categorized as “race unknown.”) Many SNAP households have earned income.
(FYI- some military families and elderly receive Snap) below are the stats. Not all impoverished people receive help.
IMHO - the abortion bans will make these numbers explode.

Poverty rates of Black Americans (19.5 percent) and Hispanic Americans (17.1 percent) are higher than those of Asian Americans (9.3 percent) and non-Hispanic white Americans (8.1 percent).

To those who blame the Great Society welfare programs starting in 1965 as where the problem of illegitimacy in black communities started. What was the black illegitimacy situation before 1965?

Here's Daniel Patrick Moynihan in a 1965 interview talking about the issues facing Black families. Illegitimacy seemed to be an issue before 1965.

^^

Sociologist William Julius Wilson said that the high numbers of unwed households among Blacks is rooted in the high numbers of unemployed and under-employed Black men. I guess the thinking is that men with less stable financial situations will view marriage as being a more complicated thing to consider.

The decline in U.S manufacturing may be something to consider since a lot of Black people have been concentrated in manufacturing jobs. When those jobs went into decline in the U.S that may have increased unemployment among Black men more.
