[quote=Anonymous]Let's remember that for decades Black or poor people were incentivized not to get married, as having another adult income affects welfare eligibility. Well, you say, why not just get off welfare? Remember that the reason so Black people tend to have a lower socioeconomic status is the lack of economic and educational opportunity, to which the government itself has certainly contributed. You also have a lack of affordable, safe childcare; often lack of reliable transportation, too. It's hard to think you'd rather send your kids to some cheap, maybe unsafe place so that you can have the pleasure of travelling an hour each way to some minimum wage job where you are on your feet all day. When the economy goes bad, it will affect you more, you could lose everything. Isn't it safer and doesn't it make more sense to keep your welfare and your housing voucher? Can't also forget that Black men are far more likely to be part of the criminal justice system, making them less attractive marriage partners. Well, just stop committing crimes, you say. Yes, I agree, but then, let's go back to the lack of economic and educational opportunity to do other things with your life, as well as the fact that when crimes are committed, black people often get a harsher punishment...leading to an ever more difficult ability to get a job because now you have a record...there's a reason that it's tough to break out of poverty.[/quote]
