Really poor shifting of the goal posts.
Biases of all sorts exist, that doesn’t validate the claims of “systemic racism” which cannot even be defined.
Definitely a factor with black women. A major one.
But look at the overall.
Welfare and the ongoing erosion of moral standards largely due to people turning away from religion.

The only factors. Welfare was an outcome of family’s being broken up.
What were? Mine and yours? Ok.
There’s of course zero evidence to support that claim.
What percentage of black males incarcerated for drug crimes were Married to their babymommas and supporting those families when they were arrested and sent to prison?
Yes, to turning away from moral standards; not whether turning away from religion causes that. But that’s a different thread.
Welfare spurred the breakup of families and discouraged marriage because having a working age male in the home made the family ineligible.
You can only break up a family if the parents are married?
The stat posted was single mother households. No indication of martial status.

Show me the policy that made welfare breakup a family.
Alcoholism in my family. Glad my dad left.
I’m sorry it happened.
Thanks, Sneaky, but better for it. Much.

Fine then, let’s go with that theory.
Demonstrate what percentage of them were shacked up and supporting their families legitimately when they were incarcerated.

Kicking God out of the schools…
Almost certainly a factor. To what degree is unknowable.
The family is the foundation of society. Any thing that undermines it is going to have a geometric effect on everything else.

No argument from me but i’d posit that the breakdown of the family predates it by about a decade.
In the early-mid seventies we still started school with a prayer in both public and private schools.
I remember the pledge of allegiance in the early 70s, not prayer though. Maybe it took a decade or so before all public schools finally complied with the ban in prayer…

Cases were still being fought through the nineties over prayer in school and a lot of schools refused to comply until lawsuits forced them to.
