[dustyelbow]

But BLACK FAMILIES have always been DIFFERENT than TV FAMILIES.

But the title does a DISSERVICE when it states all the REASONS for BREAKDOWN.

if i understand this artical right, she is saying that the structure of the black family is acceptable the way it is now.

i don't agree with that. it is a know fact that both parents are needed in the household. the historical situation that tore the black family apart has to have its effects reversed and make it a common place to see black families be like the ones we see on tv.

It's good policy to advocate a traditional family structure of children living with both biological parents under a marriage certificate. No amount of data can degrade this important ingredient.

Again, just because a bunch of people say 2+2=6 doesnt make it so. Family has been defined by experts from long ago. You dont get to redefine standard norms because you and all your friends are in a different situation.
