Looks like alot of Black Americans have decided that they want to be”judged” by the color of their skin.
That is why there is the “Black Congressional Caucus”, the “Men of color or Women of color fraternity groups in colleges, the “Black Gay Parade – Atlanta – this weekend. Stucky, you are invited come over for some makeup and polish you up to fit right in.

Utah and Idaho are pretty high too, my guess is that is due to the second, third, and tenth, marriages not being legal and all the offspring bastards in the eyes of the law.
People are turning away for marriage for a lot of reasons. One is the absolute penalty the gubment gives to a married family with one kid they can afford. The other is there are not many family-supporting jobs available for our younger adults. Hard to “officially” start the family if you feel a loser.
Sex is natural, and needed for the survival of the species. You are NEVER going to get people – even unmarried people – to give it up. Lock people up and a few will risk their very lives to get it.
Marriage is overrated. It, at one time, may have really meant something. Especially considering that once “old” and long-married was your early 40s. But the world HAS changed, and we have allowed our government to make marriage a financial decision. What is so honorable about that?
If I ever get out of this one, and move on, I don’t see myself being married again. There are no legal rights in a marriage that I cannot legally agree to through written contracts with the people I want.
This is why I think the argument over government-recognized “gay” marriage is such utter bullshit. The gays are (stupidly) asking for MORE government in their bedrooms, while all I want is them OUT of mine.
But, that is yet one more symptom of government involvement in our most intimate lives. And our own want of this. Well, not “our,” because it is not mine.
As long as the government uses fiat to support the single parent over the two-parent family, we will continue to get more of them.
So the married/unmarried birth rates are not the problem, just another symptom of the increasing dependence and upcoming fascism. Sad, really.

The changing demographics is the hidden message. The more Negros and children machine Latinos a state has , the more out of wed lock total. Plus the dearth of Caucasian reproduction in said states.
You really need to find # of children per family among all races and # of children per family both married and unmarried to see which way the wind is blowing.
We know Mormons have more children per family and have strong family ties. So both Utah and Idaho( yes surprise lots of Mormons in Idaho as well) are the outliners.
Lots of Mexicans are gobbling up Utah as well.
There will simply not be the same sense of shame between Mexicans and Mormons.
As far as Negros go. Is there such a thing as “shame” about anything anywhere on the planet?
We are heading toward a societal collapse a society dominated by warlords. The only glue will be force. Europe 700AD.

I don’t understand that statement. Do you mean that there is something shameful about having kids? It’s one thing to advocate staying childless and quite another to adopt a Herod-ian attitude against having any kids at all. Even if all you mean is that you prefer people have the popularlay accepted 2 per, it isn’t your choice to make. We Mexicans love to fuck, maybe you don’t but we have company in other Catholic culture and, gulp, Mormons. So it may be you are against people having sex, you are some 200 years late, plus, it wiped out the Shakers.

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Even those times had their problems but the unintended consequences of the 60’s are many, no wonder the adults of the time cried foul. Here we are, living in a free love world where drugs are easily available and no one breathes a word of sharp reproof, homosexuals and molesters run amok. You buttered your bed, now lie in it, said the cricket.
•63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
•90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.
•85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)
•80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)
•71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)
Father Factor in Education – Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school.
•Children with Fathers who are involved are 40% less likely to repeat a grade in school.
•Children with Fathers who are involved are 70% less likely to drop out of school.
•Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to get A’s in school.
•Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to enjoy school and engage in extracurricular activities.
•75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average.
Father Factor in Drug and Alcohol Abuse – Researchers at Columbia University found that children living in two-parent household with a poor relationship with their father are 68% more likely to smoke, drink, or use drugs compared to all teens in two-parent households. Teens in single mother households are at a 30% higher risk than those in two-parent households.
•70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)
•85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)
Father Factor in Incarceration – Even after controlling for income, youths in father-absent households still had significantly higher odds of incarceration than those in mother-father families. Youths who never had a father in the household experienced the highest odds. A 2002 Department of Justice survey of 7,000 inmates revealed that 39% of jail inmates lived in mother-only households. Approximately forty-six percent of jail inmates in 2002 had a previously incarcerated family member. One-fifth experienced a father in prison or jail.
Father Factor in Crime – A study of 109 juvenile offenders indicated that family structure significantly predicts delinquency. Adolescents, particularly boys, in single-parent families were at higher risk of status, property and person delinquencies. Moreover, students attending schools with a high proportion of children of single parents are also at risk. A study of 13,986 women in prison showed that more than half grew up without their father. Forty-two percent grew up in a single-mother household and sixteen percent lived with neither parent
Father Factor in Child Abuse – Compared to living with both parents, living in a single-parent home doubles the risk that a child will suffer physical, emotional, or educational neglect. The overall rate of child abuse and neglect in single-parent households is 27.3 children per 1,000, whereas the rate of overall maltreatment in two-parent households is 15.5 per 1,000.
Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 711% more likely to have children as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth and 92% more likely to get divorced themselves.
Adolescent girls raised in a 2 parent home with involved Fathers are significantly less likely to be sexually active than girls raised without involved Fathers.

Census Fatherhood Statistics
•64.3 million: Estimated number of fathers across the nation
•26.5 million: Number of fathers who are part of married-couple families with their own children under the age of 18.
Among these fathers –
◦22 percent are raising three or more of their own children under 18 years old (among married-couple family households only).
◦2 percent live in the home of a relative or a non-relative.
•2.5 million: Number of single fathers, up from 400,000 in 1970. Currently, among single parents living with their children, 18 percent are men.
Among these fathers –
◦8 percent are raising three or more of their own children under 18 years old.
◦42 percent are divorced, 38 percent have never married, 16 percent are separated and 4 percent are widowed. (The percentages of those divorced and never married are not significantly different from one another.)
◦16 percent live in the home of a relative or a non-relative.
◦27 percent have an annual family income of $50,000 or more.
•85 percent: Among the 30.2 million fathers living with children younger than 18, the percentage who lived with their biological children only. ◦11 percent lived with step-children
◦4 percent with adopted children
◦< 1 percent with foster children
Recent policies encourage the development of programs designed to improve the economic status of low-income nonresident fathers and the financial and emotional support provided to their children. This brief provides ten key lessons from several important early responsible fatherhood initiatives that were developed and implemented during the 1990s and early 2000s. Formal evaluations of these earlier fatherhood efforts have been completed making this an opportune time to step back and assess what has been learned and how to build on the early programs’ successes and challenges.While the following statistics are formidable, the Responsible Fatherhood research literature generally supports the claim that a loving and nurturing father improves outcomes for children, families and communities.
•Children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy and pro-social behavior, and avoid high-risk behaviors such as drug use, truancy, and criminal activity compared to children who have uninvolved fathers.
•Studies on parent-child relationships and child wellbeing show that father love is an important factor in predicting the social, emotional, and cognitive development and functioning of children and young adults.
•24 million children (34 percent) live absent their biological father.
•Nearly 20 million children (27 percent) live in single-parent homes.
•43 percent of first marriages dissolve within fifteen years; about 60 percent of divorcing couples have children; and approximately one million children each year experience the divorce of their parents.
•Fathers who live with their children are more likely to have a close, enduring relationship with their children than those who do not.
•Compared to children born within marriage, children born to cohabiting parents are three times as likely to experience father absence, and children born to unmarried, non-cohabiting parents are four times as likely to live in a father-absent home.
•About 40 percent of children in father-absent homes have not seen their father at all during the past year; 26 percent of absent fathers live in a different state than their children; and 50 percent of children living absent their father have never set foot in their father’s home.
•Children who live absent their biological fathers are, on average, at least two to three times more likely to be poor, to use drugs, to experience educational, health, emotional and behavioral problems, to be victims of child abuse, and to engage in criminal behavior than their peers who live with their married, biological (or adoptive) parents.
•From 1995 to 2000, the proportion of children living in single-parent homes slightly declined, while the proportion of children living with two married parents remained stable.
