AmRen on Manhattan Institute Conference: Prospects for Black America - What conservatives think - "Unfortunately, there was no talk about the terrible, dysgenic fertility among blacks. So long as college-educated black women have few or no children while addicts have five or six, things will get worse."

Prospects for Black America 

What conservatives think

 

Yesterday, AR staff attended a meeting held in Washington, DC, by the Manhattan Institute called “Prospects for Black America: The Moynihan Report Turns 50.” The Moynihan Report, of course, was Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s 1965 study in which he worried that an illegitimacy rate of 25 percent among blacks was such a serious problem it would keep many blacks from enjoying the benefits of the new civil rights legislation. The purpose of this meeting was to grapple with the implications of a black illegitimacy rate that is now over 70 percent and of a white rate–approaching 30 percent–that is already higher than the 25 percent that so shocked Moynihan in 1965.

The meeting was chaired by Jason Riley, Wall Street Journal columnist, Manhattan Institute fellow, and author of Please Stop Helping Us. In his introduction, he promised us panelists who would “challenge conventional wisdom,” are “not afraid to think outside the box,” and who “honestly evaluate what is working and what is not working.” With some exceptions, they came close–within the limits of conventional conservatism.
