Got friends who don't have any idea who their dad are or never hear from them.
Only time I ever really feel very blessed/fortunate that my mom and dad were still amicable after divorce and my dad was a pretty big factor in my life. He's the one who got me hooked on PC gaming when I was young and got me into d2 which fueled my gaming childhood. I feel like I got an experience most other people didn't. Playing video games with my dad who is probably a bigger nerd than I am. He played DnD back in the 70s and 80s.
It just blows my mind.
If blacks get on average practical better education and the younger generations get positive changes, then the future will change for them.
The solution to accomplish that, I'm not really sure. Cause it's not just one issue. It's a lot of factors being compounded which leads to a bunch of bullshit and solution continues.

There was an effort in the 1960s coming into the 1970s by the FBI to deliberately infiltrate civil rights groups and arrest/imprison people involved.
The shift was later made to target black communities via harsher sentencing, particularly crack vs. powder cocaine.
This leaves us with several generations of people who don't know how to be parents because they never had one or both parents themselves.
Similar psychological trauma has been observed among Native Americans, who were forced into boarding schools.
Go read a fucking book instead of shitposting.
Native Americans got even bigger problems. They are poorly ran by their own tribal governments and the federal government or state governments are not going to intervene cause then it would be a shitshow and seem to be the state/federal government once again "stepping on the toes" of Native Americans once again.
So you end up with rampant alcoholism and such shit conditions that Native American women raped at absurd percentages and poverty that makes blacks lives look grand.
