At least you're asking a question now, or positing a hypothesis (a cultural
explanation) for these differences, instead of making an unequivocal statement about what the stats show. You have to be careful that the relationship that you think exists between two variables isn't a spurious one, i.e., that there isn't a third variable that explains the relationship. If we held class constant, i.e., if we compared only blacks and whites from the same social class (same years of educational, wealth, occupational prestige, etc.), would these "racial" differences hold? What do you think?
BTW, did you know the following?
"More than half of births to American women younger than 30 are outside marriage, research has found.
And across all ages, a staggering four in ten women are not married when they have children.
The data shows the fastest growth in the past 20 years is among white women in their 20s with some college education but no four-year degree."
