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.
Whites are far more likely to abuse pain medication and methamphetamine. Does that mean the "entire white culture" is comprised of pain pill and meth addicts? Of course not. Is it a problem with some? Yes, but you can't label the whole white culture with that stigma. You also can't label the "black culture" as a whole with the issues of a certain percentage. The "facts" you cite address a segment of the culture. Within those segments, the examination becomes even more nuanced as to the "why" things are that way. To simply quote statistics and deem the conclusion automatic is disingenuous as it concerns these topics. There are a great number of factors at play with each of these situations that can adversely impact behavior, outcomes and consequences. It's not as simple as stating the numbers that can identify definitive causal lines.
