The graph below shows the real issue blacks face and I don't see them doing anything to solve it.
Lives matter!
If you need a color
in front of those words,
YOU are a racist.
You mean three trillion and actually it’s considerably more than that. The war on poverty has ruined black people. Racists could not have come up with a better scheme to destroy blacks than this.

The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
Clearly whites are equal opportunity victims.
Yep...it is trillions.
It’s called ‘getting out the vote’
I agree that this is a frightening predictor of our future as a culture and country. I like to point out that percentages don’t tell the whole story. The absolute number of unwed births for whites surpassed the black number back in 1990. The population of blacks is only 42 million versus 200 million for non-latino whites, so the fatherless white kids are many more than fatherless blacks now.
When Patrick Moynihan sounded the alarm for the demise of the “Negro family” back in 65 the number of fatherless black kids were much much lower than white kids are today.
We have adopted many parts of black culture and this is a bad one. Moynihan and others like Charles Murray who raised this were castigated as racists. “Blaming the victims” was the charge so nothing has been done to turn the trend around.
Militant feminism also played a role saying in effect single mothers were to be lauded even though it has proven to be an economic and social disaster. Murphy Brown was not a good role model.
Politically criticizing the black family as constituted or white single mothers, is verboten so I am not optimistic for the future. It’s easier to blame white privilege or police for the problem.
It is not really racial either. It is a sickness like the virus only this one infects fatherless families.
It’s simple economics. If you pay extra for something, you are going to get more of it produced. America pays mothers to have kids without dads. The solution is simple. Stop paying them.

That figure should be $22 TRILLION.
This is a problem that must be addressed internally by the black community itself.
Spot on a hand out isn’t a hand up as Ben Franklin said God helps those who help them self.
People need to start thing for them self to get ahead in life,winning it isn’t easy learn to deal with it.
Oh no they’ll use them when they fit the narrative.
The problem is that BLM is MLB backwards.
