Why are there a high number of black single parents?
Why is a there a high employment for black people?
Why is there a high drop out rate for black men?
What is there a high

Is it just because they are black?
Because black people have low moral character?
That black people have no work ethic?

Or are there other reasons?

Is poverty a cause and not an effect?
Lack of investment in communities
Poor education system
Lack of job opportunities
Lack of mobility
