My mother came to this country from Cuba, single, 2 kids, not knowing the language. Now she and all her kids, grown, have jobs and their own houses... you are just making excuses pointing the blame at schools in black neighborhoods, excuses, excuses. It is the drive to succeed. Now, I will point out where the vast black american family fails, and this are reasons, not an excuse. You have black kids growing without knowing the expectations of a husband, father, mother and wife. They lack the community and church. That is all the Democrat's fault for enabling AND pushing for single parents in the black community. Also democrats are responsible for keeping black people under "victimhood" status destroying their drive to succed.
