[From article]
Fifty Years ago in his essay A Family Policy for the Nation, Daniel Patrick Moynihan added to what he had already warned of in his report The Negro Family: The Case for National Action by stating that “there is one unmistakable lesson in American history: a community that allows a large number of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectation about the future -- that community asks for and gets chaos.”
[. . .]
Fifty years later Moynihan’s warnings have proven correct in that black males fare worse than their female counterparts in areas that include lower levels of educational achievement and higher levels of behavioral problems. Although the rate of black males ages 25 and over who have graduated high school and obtained a bachelor’s degree has steadily increased, black males still lag far behind their white counterparts and black females on all levels of educational attainment. Low levels of college entrance and graduation rates contribute to low income as adults, and result in many black, college educated women either having to marry down or not marry at all. The same goes for high levels of behavioral problems which contribute to high rates of suspension, detention, arrest, conviction, and incarceration.
