The failing Black Family

Today's black families are failing at an accelerated rate. Experts point out that there is a circle of events that are to blame for this. Families that are without fathers are more likely to fail at school, leading to criminal behaviors, which in turn brings about economic hardship. This cycle is the integral part of the demise of the black family. The fact is that most African American kids will grow up never having seen an actual wedding. In a controversial study done on black families show that 25% of kids are born out of wedlock. These kids who are fatherless never learn how to be "eligible for marriage". For the first time since the start of slavery black people can't say that things are going to get better.
