Please don’t use the Heritage foundation as a source. They’re an evil bunch of shills for the tobacco and big oil industry.

In this case, for example, for some reason they focus on welfare as a causative agent for lack of marriage in the black community, though they do nothing to support it. They ignore the drug wars, and they ignore that the general rate for unmarried children rose steeply.

It appears that at some point in time, there were welfare rules that made marriage a penalty. These were struck down during the civil rights act— making me think, by the way, that these rules were defended by ‘conservatives’ rather than opposed by them.
