That's my mistake. Here is the article I meant to post:
Now to the mythology of the black male dereliction as dads: While it is true that black parents are less likely to marry before a child is born, it is not true that black fathers suffer a pathology of neglect. In fact, a C.D.C. report issued in December 2013 found that black fathers were the most involved with their children daily, on a number of measures, of any other group of fathers — and in many cases, that was among fathers who didn’t live with their children, as well as those who did.

- randyrand 9y agoThat source has some good points , but it too does not dispute the statistics. Just explains some of it. The one statistic it gave that disputes for more daily activity was for children under age 5, for certain activities, and only for black fathers that live with their children - not on the whole. Very bad cherry picking and bad reporting. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr071.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr071.pdf
