Shows black children living in a single parent household 55.4% of the time leaving only 44.6% having two-parent households. A two parent household drastically improves a child's chances for economic success as well as lowering the chances for mental disorder. White children have a 24% chance of living in a single parent household.

This source shows black children living in a single parent household 64% of the time which is 10% higher than the first source. This leaves just 36% of black children living in a two-parent household.

Single mother households have a poverty rate of 28% whereas single father households have a 15% poverty rating. Two-parent households with a married couple have a 5% poverty rating. This doesn't even account for race where 31% of black single mothers are more likely to be in poverty than single white mothers at 24%. That's nearly 1/3 of single black mothers and their children are living in poverty.

The authors interpret findings as evidence that single mothers' parenting is often strained by stressors like poverty and isolation, leading to more controlling/rejecting behaviors that heighten adolescent risks particularly for externalizing disorders (nearly tripled rate) and depressive symptoms. Externalizing risks align with early onset stability, while depressive differences emerge later in adolescence.  

Externalizing disorders involve outward-directed problematic behaviors like aggression, hostility, impulsivity, and disruptive actions, stemming from poor self-regulation. Common examples include Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Conduct Disorder (CD) in youth, which can continue into adulthood as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and are associated with substance use disorders. 

Single mother households increase the risk of creating children who grow up to have mental health issues, particularly dangerous ones in men which leads to criminal behavior and an inability to be successful in America. In young girls it can lead to anxiety which leads to self-doubt feeding the need to be loved and wanted by men. These same young men, because of the low impulse control from externalizing issues, end up breeding these girls with no regard to the lives created and destroyed in the process. 

32% of adolescents in single mother households had at least one externalizing disorder. That number is 11% in two-parent households. 

In short, single mother households are very bad for society and because the black community is haunted by absent fathers the problem will only continue to get worse. All children need their fathers and it's up to Black Men to take control of their communities and do the right thing.

This is census data to confirm the % of population by race. Whites at 57.5% and blacks at 13.8%. We need these numbers in order to calculate the incarceration proportion between the two races and to compare crime data.

Table 6 shows more Blacks in Federal and State prison compared to whites. In fact blacks are 4.5x more likely to be in federal or state prison than whites with an incarceration proportion of .853% compared to whites at .188%. If we are operating under the assumption that you need to commit crimes to get incarcerated then this is clearly showing that blacks commit more crimes than whites per capita.

Table 3 shows very similar results when compared to the source above. 

The total population of whites in America is 57.5% and the total white prison population makes up 30.6%. The total black population in America is 13.8% and the prison population is 32.5%
