caused by absentee fathers

most of which were from drug arrests, gang related deaths (most gangs deal in drugs), the lack of ability to gain sufficient money to raise the kids because of the lack of jobs in the surrounding area, and a small amount of "Wait, that's not my kid" from the Maury Lie Detector meme.

and single mothers.

You'd be surprised how many of them divorce their husband for bullshit reasons. lol

blame the democrats for the current welfare system.

I do. It's part of the problem for sure. Plenty of people abuse the system, those who play by the rules don't have enough to get by, and plenty of people are too stupid to realize the easiest solution would be to leave the area they're in.

The black community is in a worse way now than it was back in the fifties.

I agree.

I'm talking out of wedlock, which account for about 70% of black births.

Divorce is a very minor factor.

The number of father's lost to death is numerically insignificant, most of the black dad's won't ever go to prison and those that do will mostly be in there for shorter terms.

This is almost always child abandonment on the part of the father.

Thank you for the link. None of this answers why it's higher. Saying it's higher "Because they're black" doesn't answer anything.

If the poverty was caused by them leaving, what caused the sudden spike in them leaving? The democrats have done horrible stuff, but I'm not seeing the correlation that they're causing them to flee.
