I’d have to see the stats they pull from. They’re saying over 50% of black kids don’t live with their biological fathers. Growing up it always seemed more of an economic/education issue. My black family doesn’t have this issue, most of the people I knew in middle class families did not have this issue. It also only states biological fathers and not step fathers or uncles acting as a father figure. Black and Latin families tend to have multiple generations in the same household or neighborhood. It’s culturally different from white Americans. I don’t think numbers will show that.

I just dislike when people act as if the absence of black fathers and father figures are a raging epidemic. I’ve had people assume I didn’t have a father and it’s weird
