I got nothing more to say if that's what you think. You have a right to your opinion. However , I would put a straw in the ground. Its quite hard to breathe well with your head buried in the sand .. LOL

But how about looking at fatherless black children by income and education level...I'm sure it would explain much more context.
If you want to.

Is there any doubt that the black community is doing very badly economically?

Of course this is a factor.

Years ago, I took my girlfriend at the time to a county jail in Cook County to visit a childhood friend of hers who had recently been accused of child molestation. While there, I noticed that 9 out of 10 men in jail were black and 9 out of 10 females who were visiting them were pregnant.

But that only accounts for at most 30% of the births.

So a high rate of incarceration doesn't explain a high rate of fatherless children keep in mind fatherless children has always been in inner cities. But my head is the sand. Ok great.

Chicago of all places, the ones that conservatives use as example of black people. Great

And the black community was always doing bad economically and lagged behind that of white people. Where did I doubt that.

Maybe the root of the problem is when people don't know what flux means.

As soon as I read the thread title, I knew it was meant to deliberately provoke and stir up things.

I wonder how many posters have already reported it to the moderators (I didn't by the way).

The last thing black people should be worried about is what white people think of them.
