In 1960, 85% of Americans were white and 10% were black

Now, only 63% are white, while 13% are black, 17% are Hispanic and 5% are Asian. In 2050, those shares are projected to be 47% white, 13% black, 28% Hispanic and 8% Asian. In 2011, unmarried women accounted for 41% of U.S. births, up from just 5% in 1960. The rate is 29% for whites, 53% among Hispanics and 72% among African Americans. Although 60% of single mothers have live-in boyfriends, half of these relationships end within five years. Single parenthood’s stigma is gone.
