Go to South Central Los Angeles and you’ll get the answer. Welfare is rampant.

“Because we choose not to be enslaved by the government.”

Bullseye. Emphasis on CHOOSE.
While their is SOME truth in blaming the Great Society disaster for the current sad state of affairs in the black family, it all starts with free choice, a decision consciously made.

Because a white kid is 5 times more likely to live with both (married) parents.

It is a spiritual malady — and resentment is the cause.
I know it is a generalization, but my +60 years experience shows that most black children are taught to resent the Caucasian race. That’s racism, and it never gets better — it only gets worse.

Oh yes, we are more racist than the days of Democrat Jim Crow and Democrat Segregation. uh huh Someone called me a racist the other day over my stance on the new AZ law. I calmly replied, "I don't have to take that kind of an insult from someone who has sex with goats." That put an end to his name calling.

WHY? Because Black neighborhoods VOTE DEMOCRAT 95+% of the time....in other words...they VOTE FOR THE PLANTATION OWNERS who wants to keep them enslaved!

Because sadly, the culture of Black Americans is one that minimizes the importance of education and self-reliance. If the people around you are continually telling you, through word, or action, that you don't need to constantly improve yourself through education, school or otherwise, and that you can do for yourself better, and more quickly, than government can do it, you will be stuck in a rut, resentful, for your entire life.
It would be interesting to see the statistics about white people broken down, to see the results of various economic levels within the larger group.

Yup! The only answer is redistribution of the wealth of the affluent.
Of course, within a very short period of time there will be anarchy and violence, because the redistributees will run out of their new-found affluence and there just won’t be anything left to redistribute.

Short Answer: Welfare.
End welfare [and the ‘entitlement’ indoctrination] and the problem will correct itself.

A $95,000 question: why are whites five times richer than blacks in the US? It appears to be because whites have 5 times as much money .

Because they don't get married.
[Children born IN wedlock: 25% (vs. 80% in 1960)]
Because they kill their offspring.
[Black and Hispanic women have higher abortion rates than non-Hispanic white women. Black womens abortion rates are 49 per 1,000, Hispanic womens are 33 per 1,000 and non-Hispanic white womens are 13 per 1,000.]

Why are whites five times richer than blacks in the UK?That's not remotely true. I wouldn't have a problem if it were true, but it just isn't.

The best answer to the Guardian is any speech made by Bill Cosby. Bill grew up poor in Philadelphia, but no he looks around and finds total destruction. His values have been discarded by the black community.
