It is a statistical fact that only 10% of married households with children live in poverty. The poverty rate of single households with children is roughly 50%!! Back in the 1960s, prior to the start of the Democratic “Great Society” welfare programs that within 10 years increased welfare by a factor of 20, 3 out of 4 black babies were born to married parents. Today, just the opposite, 3 out of 4 Black babies (and 1 out of 4 White babies) are born to single parent households – the engine of poverty!! The most basic reason for income disparity is that Black educational achievements are the lowest of any race. In relation to total population, Blacks drop out of high school in far greater numbers relative to race population than any other race. Blacks enter and graduate college at the lowest rates relative to race. In many big cities where Black populations are statistically higher compared to Whites than the Black national population, the average spent per year per public school student is about $20,000 each, double that of the national average!! So we are spending the money to educate Blacks. Finally, Blacks commit crimes at 8 times the national average. Jail is not a good place to earn income. These are the issues (Single parent households by design, Education, and Crime) that Blacks need to fix and only they can do that. Otherwise 50 years from now nothing will have changed
