It is internalized oppression and not the incapable parents...

From 2019: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2019/05/13/racism-black-girls-school-discipline-juvenile-court-system-child-abuse-incarceration/3434742002/
Homeless.
So C’alra went to a nearby Walmart, stuffed a bra, two pairs of jeans, four panties, a pair of socks, foundation and lip gloss into a roomy purse and headed for the door.
Thief. You dont need foundation and fucking lip gloss to survive.
C’alra made a mistake; she readily admits that. But she had also been failed, time and time again, by flawed systems that are weighted against black girls. She was written off as angry when she was simply trying to learn, hampered by teachers who were swift to punish, but not to listen. She was treated as an adult when she was still a child overwhelmed by the legal system. Black girls are being criminalized at alarming rates. They are hobbled by negative societal stereotypes that stretch back to slavery. By educators, counselors, caseworkers and judges who fail to address their trauma and emotional needs. By school discipline policies that push black girls out of school and punish them more often and more harshly than their white peers. African American girls don’t misbehave more or commit more serious infractions, experts say, yet they often receive more severe penalties for the same behavior as white peers. They are nearly six times more likely to get out-of-school suspension than white counterparts, They are “adultified” at a young age, according to research by Georgetown Law's Center on Poverty and Inequality, which found black girls face both racial and gender bias that feeds the misconception that they are more insubordinate and aggressive and less in need of nurturing and protection. As a result, research from the Council of State Governments Justice Center concluded, black girls are at greater risk of dropping out or being held back, which in turn leads to a three-fold increase in the chances of becoming entangled in the juvenile justice system, and later, in the adult system. C’alra remembers her early childhood with a rosy fondness. Growing up in the “country” town of Hempstead, about an hour northwest of Houston, a place so small she knew most everyone within its five square miles. Being raised, along with a brother and sister, by her grandmother in a small, green house.

NO PARENTS
Still, there were fissures just beneath the surface. A biological father who spent most of her childhood in prison. A mom and stepfather whose lives in Houston were marked by domestic squabbles and arrests for theft and drug possession. A lingering hurt because her mother left her and her two siblings but kept custody of six other children.
NEVERENDING SPAWN
Yeah I've had enough of reading this. Shit childhoods lead to shit adults. Who have shitloads of kids. Who then have shit childhoods. Why does it affect Blacks?
Blacks love Poverty
Blacks love Crime
Blacks love Stealing
But hate doing time
