Wrong. Incentives matter. Welfare payments as normally implemented encourage family dissolution and other behavior associated with poverty and poor life outcomes. As the black community is poorer, it responds to these financial incentives more sensitively. Any means-tested benefit is going to encourage people not to have means. This is blatantly obvious, and only a fool would dispute it.

in:re the reconfiguration of life (family, etc) you mention. I'd like to clarify that it wasn't really the "sexual revolution" of the early 60s contraceptive developments that brought this about. The "Real" revolution that initiated these changes began in 1967 with the "Summer of love," best summarized by the Isley Brothers. "It's your thang, do what you want to do." This was the revolution that rejected sexual morality and ultimately changed things. And it had nothing to do with contraception, feminists, "Me too" or Donald Trump.
