Greg Gutfeld: We’re creating generations who never heard the phrase “work ethic”


We’ve got problems. Serious ones. We’ve heard enough about rates of single parenthood among whites and blacks. For most of us, this is not news. The residue from the feel-good 1970s was more toxic than realized. What we once saw as a delightful toy is now a choking hazard.

While high-status whites could weather any or all decisions, minorities who appropriated the same lifestyle choices aren’t so lucky. Only Candice Bergen can be Murphy Brown. But like I said, most of us saw this coming. It’s not news; it’s just sad.

I’ve been thinking about the latest job figures for black teens, which are tragic: four in ten are not working.

For people who struggle at math, that’s like 40 out of 100. Or 400 out of 1,000. I could go on, because I am drunk.

This is a statistic that shakes the brain, and it reflects a problem that cannot be fixed by government programs that allowed such problems to fester in the first place.
