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.

I've seen some arguments that the targeting of the black community with mass incarceration is responsible for the absence of black father figures in the community. They cite the high percentage of black males with interaction with the criminal justice system. So is it a culture situation, or is it a result of systemic oppression?
