have been through the prison system and grew up without both parents at home.

median income, home ownership rates etc may have gone up but a lot of those figures don't count those who are incarcerated or aren't in the workforce.

right now 40% of black men are in prison or have had felonies and most of those people aren't doing shit with their lives.

educated blacks in their childbearing years are more likely to have heavy student loan burdens and are giving birth to fewer to children if ANY.

the NUMBER of black women giving birth of of wedlock is actually going DOWN.

But low income, less educated black women are outbreeding the educated upper income married black women....

and that is the reason 70-80% of black children are born outside of marriage.

we are so much worse off, but people can't see it. they're too busy watching celebrities on reality tv and on facebook and instagram.
