I forgot, horrible single parent household rates, most likely the predominant factor that leads to pretty much all of the other major issues plaguing black Americans. Certainly not racism because when double parent household rates were much better and when racism was also much worse, black Americans were doing much better in almost every measurable way.

That's actually a myth. I invite you to look at the crime rate in the late 1960s, it was as high as it is now. Pre-segregation the crime rate was "low" because cops didn't police those communities. After desegregation they started to police them (as crime against whites increased) and the crime rate "skyrocketed" a few hundred percent.

Interesting. Depressing but very/extremely important and significant if true.

Perhaps the crime rate is a myth but the school performance is not.

Black children adopted and raised by wealthy white people had an average adult IQ 17 points lower than adopted white children

People will perform all sorts of mental gymnastics to try to explain why genetics couldn't possibly be the cause of that, but none of those mental gymnastics seem to address why children with one white parent and one black parent have average scores right in the middle of the black averages and the white averages.

By performance, do you mean graduating at a rate at half of what whites were? https://www.census.gov/prod/99pubs/99statab/sec04.pdf

Also, although exact grades aren't reported, subject proficiency is toward the bottom of the PDF. You'll see there are significant differences. Sorry man, although not politically correct to say, intelligence and behavior is primarily genetic. Civic nationalism is a lie.

We have a winner ladies and gentleman.
"The culprit is, in part, the welfare system itself, which discourages work and penalizes marriage. When the War on Poverty began, 7 percent of American children were born outside marriage. Today the number is 41 percent. The collapse of marriage is the main cause of child poverty today."
