black children born in wedlock are extremely likely to have one white parent

[jsl32]

Given the dividend marriage pays, I am really ambivalent about this trend myself.  Further, that parent is almost as likely to be the father as the mother, which is new and recent (last half decade or so).

What do you think about this trend?

Is there a source that references this type of information? I'm not exactly sure how true this "trend" is....

That's no citation, what is the original source of this information? Is there are URL for a report or peer reviewed journal article? How are you, or the source you are citing, defining the concept of a "trend"? 5 years isn't very long when you're talking about a sociological trend. If it exists at all, it could just as easily be an anomalous blip
