I know where he is trying to go - oppression leading to poverty, poverty leading to crime - but he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on with the absent fathers = racism idea.

Racist white cops are killing their fathers or sending them to prison for speeding tickets that white people get out of. Look it up.

Crime leads to getting shot by the police. Father no longer around

So do I. It's called Stupidville.

Ain't it funny how the black family was actually better off under Jim Crow? Lower unemployment compared to today, fewer of them locked up, a whole lot more kids growing up in 2-parent households. I don't know the education stats, but I'd be willing to bet they did better in school as well.

Where he loses is the word "only"

Sure, racism of the past is a big reason why we are where we are today, but trying to pretend there is zero accountability for a black person who kills another black person is LOL funny.

If he wanted to say it's one of many reasons, he'd be correct.

Except that most of these pieces of shite aren't stealing bread and milk to feed their starving families.
