In traditional America, illegitimate births were a rare and concealed scandal. Today it's routine ("normalized deviancy"), outrageous and very public in welfare case loads. Seven out of ten newborn blacks are illegitimate, an astounding 70% of black children born by unwed mothers, fathers unknown, a ruinous collapse of families and sure path to youthful crime and more cycles of unwed mothers on welfare.
