The myth of the missing black fathers

The most commonly cited cause of poverty and delinquency in the African-American community is the lack of fathers and stable families in the lives of their children.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) actually studied this and found that this is a myth.   In fact, black fathers are overall more involved, not less.


Wouldn't it be great to live in a country where public policy was based on actual social science data rather than on myth?    Try Norway.   They believe in science.    They believe in social benefits to give everyone a better life.   And they beat us on most measures of health, education, well-being, and happiness.  Public policy is not the servant of big money.  The majority of their parliamentary representatives are women.

Think about it.
