But an overwhelming majority of black people in jail for dealing crack are actually guilty of dealing crack. The situation is not "inescapable" because no one is forcing them to sell crack.

Blacks commit a lot more crimes per capita than whites.  They can't blame white people for that.

Black culture does not support the concept of a nuclear family.  This causes extra financial burden of black society.  And, again, they can't blame white people for the fact that they keep having babies with multiple partners.  AIDS struck the black population much worse than whites because of the didain for birth control in the black society.  Again that is not caused by white people.

That is an incredibly problematic comment in my estimation, with racist undertones, even if not intentional; labeling an entire culture with stereotypical generalizations. The concept of the "nuclear family" as it used to be is an increasingly dated idea as today's family constructs are comprised of many different variations and nontraditional models, and that is across the racial, sexual and ideological spectrum. The "modern family" simply doesn't come in cookie cutter molds anymore.
