Talking fatherhood...again

By Ta-Nehisi Coates
Here I am with Adam Gopnik talking about Obama's impact on fatherhood. This also give me a chance to once again link (here and here) to some debunking of that simplistic "70 percent out of wedlock" stat. Obviously I'm for more Dads being more active. But my real point here is that this idea that unmarried black women are somehow having more kids than they were, say, thirty or forty years ago is false. Again, my math is so-so. I welcome folks to debunk the debunker.
