Very sad situation. Its reflected in the fact that 1. African Americans are the ONLY racial/ethnic group where female labor participation is higher than that of men 2. A disproportionate number of black Americans with middle and above incomes are single females. and 3. Black women finish college at a rate considerably higher than black males.
Of course, there are the consequences of poverty and crime that have been discussed ad nauseum. Nevertheless, to wallow in self pity while other ethnic groups who are new to this country pull ahead is not a good way to go through life.
