My privilege was that my parents stuck around with each other. Wasn't pretty and there were problems but out of necessity and for me they did. Again that's the defining factor. Fatherlessness is such a prevalent issue in black homes and is key to solve these issues. Not complaining about anything just pointing out how these never ending excuses are mostly bullshit.

The difference was smallest among nonHispanic black men, with 33% having coresidential children and 24% having noncoresidential children. Among Hispanic men, more than twice as many had coresidential children (44%) than had noncoresidential children (18%).

-A higher percentage of black fathers aged 15–44 (27%) took their children to or from activities every day compared with white fathers (20%).
-Among Hispanic fathers who did not live with their children, 63% did not talk with their children at all in the last 4 weeks about things that had happened during the children’s day, compared with 29% of white fathers and 21% of black fathers.

https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2011/06/15/chapter-1-living-arrangements-and-father-involvement/Pew Research Center calculations of the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth-Black biological fathers are far less likely than white biological fathers to be married to the mother of their children. Some 36% of blacks are in this situation, compared with 59% of whites. Among Hispanic biological fathers, this share is 50%.
-Hispanic fathers living apart from their children are much less likely than others to see those children monthly or more. Roughly one-third (32%) do so, compared with 59% of whites and 67% of blacks.
-While almost half (49%) of blacks talk with their children several times a week about their day, the share of Hispanics who do so is 22%, and of whites, 30%.
