I can’t say why users are tying to hide you post. The incarceration rate for blacks is lower than the rate of fathers not being around for their offspring. That’s a fact. Anyone arguing that the entire problem is “we’re just locking up all these otherwise-would-be-there fathers because it’s a fun game to lock blacks up” is ignoring the reality. I don’t have a strong opinion on it either way, but I’ve seen much better arguments that the welfare system has allowed for the higher rate of non-nuclear families. That it doesn’t take two parents to provide so the rate of single parents increased. Seems logical enough.

Except - there is almost no cash welfare system in the US. Pretty much just healthcare and food stamps for the poorest.

There is still SSI/Disability, SNAP, child support as cash or cash equivalency. I support those programs, but also recognize that it is possible government handouts have contributed to the decline of the nuclear family.
