So what makes you think that the black community doesn’t value family or marriage? You keep taking about it like they are so different family and marriage are not a think if you are “o e of the blacks”
Rate of single parent families
According to studies based on US census data around 72% of black children are born in a home with an unmarried mother.
I am not saying all black people do not value family, that would be absurd and wrong. Just as it would be absurd to say all Asians or whites do.
There are increasing rates of single parenthood in the white community as well and the effects are the same.
On average women having children out of wedlock is indicative of a child struggling. 20 years(ish) of teaching across different communities, from elite private schools to good/bad government schools and, for most of my career, alternative education (where a lot of that time has been spent working with kids from single parent homes), allows me to conclude the link between family structure and chances of educational attainment are reasonable.
Of course they are not absolutes. A child raised by a loving supporting single mother is going to be better off than a child raised by both parents where the father is abusive or an alcoholic etc. This is about general rules.
Wouldn't it be a better message to give people that valuing marriage, family, fatherhood and education are greater predictors of success than race? And again I will say: These things are not absolutes, there are always exceptions to every rule of this kind.
[edit to add] This comes back to a discussion you and I had a couple months back where I said I think teaching people "learned helplessness" or victimhood is about the most despicable thing people can do.
If we believe we will fail, we will almost certainly fail. If we believe a system exists that opposes us we are less likely to succeed.
