Don't be ignorant. White privilege exists, and I've pointed it out, and though it is vastly overused by the left, that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

That's fine and I can accept that, if you also will admit in the same context that the white culture must also be superior (by your own definition) since this perpetual cycle seems to continue rather viciously with very derogatory results for the black community and tangible advantages for the white community. Your right that it's not the children's fault on either side, but it's on the flip side also very much a choice two consenting adults either make or do not make, and if you define that is white privilege then great but it's most assuredly a cultural phenomenon on both sides.

I wouldn't put it that way only because I won't conflate the fact that men who are white raise their children more often than men who are black do with "culture." Furthermore, the welfare state that yields the unfortunate phenomenon we see today is the doing of a white man who grew up on a Texas ranch.

For perspective, LBJ was vocal about how horrendous it was that 27% of black kids in his time grew up without their fathers in the same home, whereas today ~30% of white kids grow up without their fathers in the home; ~70% of black kids.
