Breakdown of the family unit in inner cities especially
First, estimates show that
incarcerated men are only about half as likely to be married as non-instituional
men of the same age, however they are just as likely to have children. By
2000, more than 2 million children had incarcerated fathers; 1 in 10 black
children under age 10 had a father in prison or jail by 2000.
Since 1991, the overall teen birth rate has declined by 57 percent. The most dramatic decreases were among teens of color. Since 1991, teen birth rates among African-American girls declined 67 percent; among Latinas, it declined 60 percent, while among American Indian/Native Alaskans and Asian/Pacific Islanders, it declined 63 percent and 68 percent, respectively. Birth rates among white teens declined 57 percent during that time.
A variety of factors contributed to the decline.
Since the 1990s, there has been an increased use of highly effective, low maintenance birth control methods like the IUD and contraceptive implants, according to Albert.
With data aggregated at the state level, conservative religious beliefs strongly predict U.S. teen birth rates, in a relationship that does not appear to be the result of confounding by income or abortion rates. One possible explanation for this relationship is that teens in more religious communities may be less likely to use contraception.

Instead of correcting these things we blame it on a "culture" and lefties have sympathy for this culture they do not understand.

Since the topic introduced by Fate was "black families" lets ignore inner city....
Why are black families breaking down.
I've said the fact that young black men are in prison is a major reason.
Why are black families breaking down?
A complete lack of black fathers.
You want to point to "culture"
