Do you really want to compare the percentage of single parent homes in the black community prior to 1960 to that of present day America? I don't really think you do.

Sure. It was dramatically higher during the reconstruction then during/post the civil rights movement it exploded. That's not surprising. White people lost their shite at the idea of equality and in the following years blacks were displaced from suburbs and homes, denied loans based on skin color, forced into high density resource poor urban areas, denied access to fair market rates, and as the poverty rate increased so did the rate of crime. Combine that with a surge in profiling/broken window policing and the racist penal system.. black men were locked up at crazy rates.

We just don't like admitting that the white man intentionally held them down. We don't need shite like reparations but a hand up and a seat at the table is how we are making solid progress together
