Great News.
"The number of black children being raised by two parents appears to be edging higher than at any time in a generation, at nearly 40 percent, according to newly released census data."
I mean check it out!
"According to the bureau’s estimates, the number of black children living with two parents was 59 percent in 1970, falling to 42 percent in 1980, 38 percent in 1990 and 35 percent in 2004. In 2007, the latest year for which data is available, it was 40 percent."
Oh wait never mind.
"The Census Bureau attributed an indeterminate amount of the increase to revised definitions adopted in 2007, which identify as parents any man and woman living together, whether or not they are married or the child’s biological parents."
You don't solve social problems by redefining the what the problem is. This is a disservice to those the statistics are tracking and the taxpayers funding the studies. What are we going to call deficits profits now?
