I shook my head at that number of black out-of-wedlock rates at 74%, so I went a-Googling...
The number is controversial for the simple fact that the black middle class is almost non-existent in sampling operations.
Here are a couple of reasonable articles on the subject, and I'm ready to debate you even if you aren't ready to back up your shinola with some honest critical thinking.
And a Cabbie note to the-girl-next-door: It wasn't "a long time ago" that the church was "against blacks"; the practice persisted clear into the 1990's as far as interracial marriages are concerned?
Is there anyone here who wants to debate me on that issue?

But the facts don't back this up. As the data shows unmarried black women are having less, not more, kids then they were having 40 years ago. Furthermore, the number of unmarried black women having kids is declining, while the number of unmarried women--overall--having babies is increasing.
And that's horse $#!!% about 50% of black women having genital herpes. A large percentage of them of those studied did have the antibodies to the herpes virus, but again, the studies focused strictly on blacks in the lower economic class.
