Washington Post reported that, “for the first time, white
deaths in the United States outnumbered White births. Population grew because
of growth among Hispanics, African-Americans and immigrants.” The non-Hispanic
whites as reported by the Census Bureau represent 63 percent of the population
and the number of deaths vs. births was a paltry 12,400 when compared to the 198
million non-Hispanic whites.
Demographic suicide of the west is certainly proven by birth
statistics. Few of the western nations are having 2.1 babies per family needed
to replace the ageing population. The fertile explosion in the birth rate of
legal and illegal immigrants brought into Europe from North Africa, Eastern
Europe, and the Middle East will replace the senescent western population as
early as 2025 in some countries.
The Congressional Research Service, which has been informing
Congress on various issues for 100 years, has released a report recently on
non-marital births in the U.S. http://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43667/pdf
Carmen Solomon-Fears, Specialist in Social Policy, reported
that the percentage of non-marital births has remained steady at 41 percent for
the past six years, a dramatic increase from 1940 when such births were a low
3.8 percent. What changed?
Societal attitudes about fertility, contraception, abortion,
and marriage driven by the “sexual revolution” made it acceptable and legal to
use abortion as a contraceptive, while men evaded the responsibility of
marrying the women they’ve impregnated.
More than half of non-marital births are of couples who live
in a cohabiting relationship. The shame of producing offspring out of wedlock
disappeared when churches started celebrating pregnant teens on Mother’s Day
and the federal government became the Daddy and gave generous welfare and
medical care to single mothers. According to Solomon, “Women ages 20-24
currently have the largest share of non-marital births.” (CRS R43667, July 30,
2014)
Solomon-Fears said, “The entry of more and more women into
the paid labor force also made childbearing outside of marriage more
economically feasible.” The belief that “parents should stay in unhappy
marriage for the sake of the children” began to disappear after the 1960s.
Divorce became acceptable as adults centered on their happiness as
opposed to the health and happiness of their children. “Marriage is now more
likely to be viewed through a framework of adult fulfillment rather than
through a framework of child well-being.” (Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas, “Promises
I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage,” University of
California Press, 2005, p. 136)
The typical age for first marriage in the U.S. is 27 for
women and 29 for men. Even though
cohabiting relationships are less stable than marriage, lasting two years as
opposed to 8 years for marriage, “cohabitation has now become a common method
of family formation.”
Unwed mothers’ characteristics are:
-
Black women are more likely to have children
outside of marriage than other racial or ethnic groups
-
Women in their twenties have highest percentage
of births outside of marriage
-
Less educated women are more commonly single
mothers
-
44 percent of out of wedlock births are to women
who had already given birth to one or more children
-
Women who have non-marital birth are less likely
to marry than other women
-
A large number of unwed mothers are in a
cohabiting relationship (CRS, R43667, p. 12)
Statistics
for 2013 show that:
-
40.6% of all
U.S. births were to unmarried women
-
71.4% of
births to black women were non-marital births
-
The
percentage of non-marital births for American Indians or Alaska Natives was
66.4%
-
The non-marital
birth percentage was 53.2% for Hispanic women
-
29.3% for
non-Hispanic white women
-
17.0% for
Asian or Pacific Islander women.

Gary
Cobb, the former NFL linebacker, who is now running for office in New Jersey,
attributed the success of his siblings and his family to the fact that, no
matter how poor, their father was always there to discipline them and give them
proper guidance.
He
described President Lyndon Johnson’s ‘Great Society’ anti-poverty program as a destructive
force in black families, encouraging many black fathers to leave their families
when single mothers were given more aid than a married couple in a family unit.
“It was an incentive for the man to leave
the home, and it’s destroyed African-American families throughout the country,”
Cobb said in a recent interview. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/08/09/lbj-destroyed-african-american-families-former-nfl-player-reveals-what-led-him-to-the-gop/
There
are many variables that contributed to the breakdown of family values, of family
in general, and the degradation of society.
-
Atheist-based
education under the excuse of separation of church and state unless it’s a
religion that liberals promote
-
Political correctness
forcing the depraved minority values on the entire society promoted as speech censorship
-
The welfare/nanny
state engendering lack of personal responsibility
-
Political
corruption from top to bottom
-
Big money and
Big Labor run politics and they run our lives
-
Elitist/globalist
thinking that they can tell us and dictate to us through regulatory environmentalist
actions what is good for our families
-
Change in the
definition and meaning of marriage
-
No moral
compass
-
The MSM
brainwashed young and old into moral equivalency, taking more often the side of
the criminal, spending inordinate amounts of time, money, and energy trying to
explain why a criminal has committed the crime and ignoring the victims
-
Cartel drug
culture and prescription drugs for psychoses
-
Irrational
mass hysteria over the cult of personality
-
Reality TV
giving a false sense of life and its meaning
-
Pornography
and other deviant means of entertainment
-
Dumbing down
of education; nobody is allowed to fail; we are all equal and special;
narcissism; the ME generation; overinflated self-esteem; rewards for
non-existent accomplishments
-
Self-mutilation
inside and out through horrid piercings and tattoos
-
Lack of
character building, blaming society for one’s failures, not taking responsibility
for one’s actions and choices in life
-
Illegal
invasion of non-assimilating ethnic groups that dilute or obliterate our
national identity and sovereignty, destroying our “borders, language, and
culture”
-
The progressive
revisionism of our history, portraying American families, heroes, and values as
evil
-
Affirmative
action and the race baiters who are dialing up their divisive rhetoric
-
A
long-running depressed economy coupled with high unemployment that destroys the
breadwinner’s self-esteem, hope for the future, and disrupts the family’s
existence.
The family must now exist and function
in a country that is no longer a constitutional republic but a crony system of
third world banana republic corruption with 100 million Americans unemployed or
on the dole. The family is looking up for salvation to a president who is a
head fundraiser, in perennial community organizing mode, promising to fight for
the middle class against the very policies he has implemented that are
destroying the middle class economically and morally.
