Moynihan's political problem with blacks stems from his study of the black family in which he alleged that a "pathological" matriarchal structure was in part responsible for blacks' inferior socio-economic status, and from a memo to former president Richard M. Nixon suggesting that the Administration cool the volatile political climbate by adopting a policy of "benign neglect" on racial and urban matters.
