Uh...let's break your post down into topics.
Topic 1: The working poor and their sense of family responsibility. They have a strong sense of hard work and family responsibility. Being poor and having to depend on AFDC in any way has huge psychological implications and research indicates this.
Topic 2: Single parent families--especially common with the urban poor--disproportionately black and Hispanic. Yeah, we know this, so.....
Topic 3: Even with the prevalence of dead beat fathers in certain communities, the single mothers who are capable of doing so work damn hard to take care of their families. Therefore, the working poor know that it is their responsibility to take care of their families.
