How are these disagreements with the premise? You've outlined exactly why it likely has a massive impact. Look at the disparity between one-parent homes by race.
Do you think this doesn't matter?
You just spelled out exactly why it would...
edit: I don't think the strong argument is "because you're black" but moreso "because you're not growing up in a two parent / married household"
(Correlation is not causation.. but there's quite a bit of correlation)

- tboyd47 9y agoGood, then we agree. I just prefer to discuss the actual causes of the issue instead of bringing up vague statistics then saying, "What do you suppose that means, hmm?" Edit: I agree with you that marriage is important, but I feel the systemic racial bias aspect is much more pressing and much easier to confront. I'm all for promoting caring two-parent households, but to just point to the lack of a father in the house and leave the issue at that is both counterproductive and unfair.
