If I'm wrong, and I am sure you think I'm wrong, you tell me what's driving it?
The Source of Black Poverty Isn't Black Culture, It's American Culture
Americans don't want to imagine that our racist history is actually an ongoing, racist reality.

This wasn't even driven by Trump.
There is no simple answer.
I could go back to your argument about black abortions and see where that fits into the 70% claim.
White fatherless children are over 30% now also.

What do we do to change that, sink or swim or swimming lessons?
