am I naive to be amazed that I don't think they've ever shown a black athlete's mom who shared the same last name as her son

Teen mom - see how many of these are black?
Also following are limited to black women
- not changing name after marriage/divorce etc
- multiple marriages
- multiple divorces
- death of partner

it's just crazy to me how prevalent single mothers are in the black community

Are you talking %s or just numbers? Have you seen some numbers or is it age old wisdom from your favorite radio yak-eteer?

Are you seriously using an MTV show about a few girls to prove your point?

Something like 70% of black children grow up in single parent households compared to 25% of white kids.

Sorry to get this off track.

All of those are legit reasons. I don't think they account for the majority. Yes, I've seen some statistics. I guess to me they are just numbers until you see it in real life.
