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.
Still does not change the fact that cultures that have a much higher percentage of two-parent households will prevail simply because they are using their resources more efficiently.
And there is not just a small difference. Black mothers are close to THREE TIMES times more likely to have children by different fathers (59%) than white women (22%). 65% of black children live in a single parent household while only 24% of white kids do.
There are no "racist undertones" when speaking true facts. But as long as people like you claim their is no problem blacks will continue to fall farther and farther behind the white and hispanic cultures which use their resources better.
Irresponsible use of birth control also leads to higher rates of sexually transmitted disease which pulls the culture down even more. The Chlamydia rate among blacks is 600% higher than whites. Gonorrhea is 770% higher. The Syphilis rate is 470% higher. Again, some of the difference can be attributed to higher rates of poverty and less access to health care, but, like the issues that effect incarceration rates, the biggest cause of the difference is irresponsible behavior.
