No, "you people" are not doing enough.
yes we are, how many inner city neighborhoods and people do you actually associate with? Unless you are there amongst and interacting with the masses, your jackass is unqualified to make assumptions about what really goes on. The Bass has been there and frequently interacts and associates with such people
There are neighborhoods in Detroit where all it would take is some pride. Or do you want ****** to clean up block by block.
It takes money and resources to clean up these places, things that low income people and minorities have very little access to, not to mention the redlining that banks practice that systematically deny loans to people who wish to own and repair property in low income areas
problem with that is, the police are not providing people with enough protection from violence and retaliation from those who would do them harm, but there is a high level of cooperation with police to bring in criminals.
With the way how police have treated blacks historically, how can you blame those people for having distrust of the police when they treat you people in an occupied territory?
And you DON"T raise your kids. If you aren't a part of their life Monday thru Sunday, they are in broken families. Do I need to go into the negatives of kids growing up in single parent homes?
Jackass, the best case scenario is for kids to be in a two parent household, but of course that doesn't always work out that way. If a father pays child support and spends time with his children and is there for them whenever they need to talk about anything they are raising their children and not being deadbeat dads, end of story, thats what parenting is all about. Go into the negatives all you like, as long as a father is doing those things he is raising his kids and just because someone is living in the same household with their children and mother doesn't mean they're automatically being good fathers. Dysfunctional two-parent homes are worse that single parent homes where the father of the children are very active in their children's lives.

Yes, if you are not DIRECTLY living with your kids, it makes a huge difference. They too will grow up and be the same way. Even with the best intentions you can not be as good as a father who is living with his kids.
The best case scenario doesn't always workout, but who's to say the fault lies solely on the fathers for not being there? If a husband and wife are in an abusive relationship an or cannot otherwise get along, its best that they break apart both be there for their children. Again, as long as a father is active in their child's life, financially supportive and spends time with the child they are *NOT* deadbeats and its not soley their fault for not being together with the mother of their children.
For your education since you're too damn stupid and ignorant about what really goes on with black fathers and their children and how they view them, here's a link to an interview that features a woman who actually went into those low income neighborhoods and talked to these fathers.
