Black People : Just a question from a brother…

[cherryblossom]

Prior to welfare reform a large amount though not the majority of oww births were by babies having babies.

Welfare programs have a long history dating back to the 1930s during the "Great Depression."

The "Welfare Reform Act" came out in the 1990s.

So, between 1940 and 1990, I do not agree with your statement that even a "large amount of oow births were by babies having babies." ----I would venture to say that there were much LESS "babies having babies" than there were grown women between 1940 and 1990.....For a long time, (unlike now) there was a social stigma to being a young unwed mother...as well as being a grown unwed mother.

In 1974, the movie "Claudine" featuring a single Black mother of six children and on welfare was fairly representative of many inner-city Black households in the 1970s.

After welfare reform, these numbers tanked. the money and ability to move out of the house were vertually eliminated. This is documented in census data.

I'd like to see this "census data" AFTER the "Welfare Reform Act" of the 1990s.

Do you have a "SOURCE" for this data?

Btw, 20+, 30+ went for Mookie too. In fact, many professionals went for him rather than get married

But, these "professionals" weren't on Welfare....If these women were "professionals," obviously, they had self-sustaining jobs.

Forgive me, I did not specify a time frame. But you are incorrect on your Claudine analogy. People werent having that many children married or otherwise in the 70s. During the 80s is when the babies having babies phenomenon started taking hold.

Look it up. Now you may have to go state by state. Start with Michigan

The latest data shows that the fastest growing segment of oow births are young professionals. No they dont tend to be on welfare
