It's very real...and sadly Dems want to brush it under the rug and act like it's not real...or an issue:
Census Bureau: Higher Percentage of Black Children Live with Single Mothers | Afro
The question is why do they do this? I think it's obvious...they want African-Americans to be less advantaged and more dependent on Govt.
It's also not true... Single mOther does not mean that the father isn't involved. It just means they aren't married, because getting married is kind of expensive. White kids, on the other hand, are more likely to have divorced parents who don't live together.
The ironic thing is, there are things you could do to make black families less dependent on government. Support a living wage, for instance, so working poor don't have to get government supplements to survive.
We spend 2 Trillion on Middle Class "entitlements" a year (medicare, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance), but you guys constantly whine about the half a trillion we spend on poverty relief. Talk about your messed up priorities.
