re: "Stop blaming black parents for underachieving kids"

It may be semantics, but it's an important distinction as modern life is showing an increasing number of out of wedlock, two-parent families as a viable social entity

Are you the product of or now in a unmarried two parent family? I ask because you seem hung up on this concept. Every single study I have seen on this subject disagrees with you can you please provide one that does not, here are a few you can read if you like.
Also found this jewel, strange how close the percentages follow out of wetlock births vs incarceration rates as well as income averages and likely graduation rates.

About 80% of first children born to black women were outside of marriage; 18% of these women were cohabiting. Among Hispanics, 53% of first children were born outside of marriage, and 30% of the women were cohabiting. Among white women, 34% of first children were born outside of marriage, 20% to cohabiters. Among Asians, 13% of first children were born outside of marriage; 7% of women were cohabiting.

This quote is particularly damning

quote:

---

It is estimated that almost half of children growing up today will spend some time living with an unmarried, cohabiting couple. This should be considered a national tragedy. For our nation's children, one of the worst things that could befall them would be a continuation of the current shift away from marriage.
