That is actually frequently true in two-parent families, as well. Both parents work.
lol
You don't get that two parents can do better than one? This thread is a really good discussion, but if won't address what the post is about why be in it at all?
Racism and inequality exists but if they were 'big factors' keeping minorities down, there would be few successful minorities.
While I think the numbers always trotted out when discussing the disparity of wealth between whites and blacks are skewed, there are factors that don't involve racism or inequality today that contribute to that difference - if this is what you mean by keeping minorities down.
Unemployment among black people is down for several reasons, and I think racism only plays a very small part in that, as well.
Plus up until ~1930 black UE was lower than white UE. I don't think many will argue that we are more racist today.

WHY is unemployment among black people at the lowest in recorded history?
Not always true. An absentee, workaholic parent (long hours, a lot of travel) isn't an advantage.
A single absentee parent isn't raising them. lol You're awful at this.
Compare apples to apples next time.
Different studies came up with
63 percent of youths who commit suicide come from single-parent homes, which are almost always fatherless homes.
75 percent of adolescent murderers are from these homes single-parent homes
85 percent of children with behavioral disorders are from these homes single-parent homes
I'm not buying it. I know plenty of individuals who had less than acceptable home lives who rose above it. That was their "escape" from all the disadvantage and chaos that was going on around them. If they can do it, so can anyone else. All it takes is effort and demanding MUCH more efficiency/efficacy from the US K-12 public school system. When K-12 teachers can't even pass a basic competency test, we have a serious problem in this country.
blacks get preferential institutional treatment for college admissions, employment quotas, and government contracts awarded to small businesses.
if any group in this country is discriminated against, it is directed at Asians in college admissions, yet Asians are the highest earners in the country.
What we see here in this country is inequality and not racism. People sure forgot the meaning of racism especially those on the left. Oh well.
