no responsible fathers in the homes.

Over 70% of black children are born into single mother households.Correlation is Not Causation!This statement is at the start of most statistic classes, I think the "No Fathers" excuse has been drilled into us by the Left so well that most of us believe it.
I don't think the simple fact of fatherless is the cause. JMO, but it's what Moynihan wrote about 50 years ago - Defining Deviancy Down. Once we started making excuses for dysfunctional behavior, it became more accepted. Before the Great Society, blacks generally shared the WASP values that were so much a part of culture.
If lack of a father were a cause, then Germany in the 50's would have become a real disaster. I've met a number of Germans of that era and most of them didn't have fathers - they were killed in the war. But they were still enculturated into the traditional German cultural structure and did very well.
