[–]Musky[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

It would fail as an undergraduate essay because footnotes are essential, especially for this kind of study of statistics, as an author supposedly with a B.S. and a J.M. would know very well. Omitting the sources for those statistics is intentional if the author actually has those degrees.

The research method is described, the statistics are based on a survey of 1000 participants.

What's really worrying is that numerous people want to use that false claim as a way of arguing that 9 out of 10 black men abandon their mixed-race children (per the conclusion in her article).

If 7/10 black babies are born out of wedlock and the "affiliation" does indeed end in "the vast majority of cases" when learning of the pregnancy, one would expect higher rates of paternal abandonment for mixed race couples.

It's not like there are a ton of black fathers that make the idea seem preposterous.

In 1992, 94% of African-American segmented nuclear families were composed of an unmarried mother and children

Dayum.

A research method is described, but there's no reason to believe that a survey was performed.

Keep worshiping your nigger god, cuck.

The paper isn't peer reviewed, it's self published, and its results are markedly different from what the known results are.

It doesn't matter who I worship, there's no reason to suspect that the data from this paper are derived from the methodology described.

The research method is described, the statistics are based on a survey of 1000 participants.

BUT you cannot note that without providing the source information. There is no evidence that this study existed.

He explains it better than I do: https://abegaustad.medium.com/this-academic-paper-on-biracial-children-with-african-american-fathers-is-likely-a-fabrication-b26d900e96b4

I read that article, and while he's not wrong the paper has some issues, it doesn't prove it was not accurate either.

We cannot assume it's accurate if it's not reliable.

The main problem is that it's being used by many online as an accurate source, whereas we know for a fact that it has NOT shown the appropriate evidence of the sources of the statistics. There is no way of knowing if it is accurate, unless one were to conduct a similar study, at great expense. It's obvious that the essay is not reliable.
