77% born to single mothers compared to 25% for whites and 15% for Asians may have something to do with it.
That has a whole lot to do with it. I could do a better job of giving money to charity. The one I do donate to on a regular basis is Son of a Saint.

They use their money to bring at risk fatherless black kids into a program full of mentors who work very closely with them all the way through their school years.
Guess what the typical social and educational outcomes are?
