But, the feature posted here earlier by Richard V. Reeves, from the Brookings Institution, in his Lego demonstration noted that some of the most debilitating issues that keep AA's from upward mobility was the the lack of a role model of a father figure, a stable two party adult support group. It's an easy scapegoat to blame others than to turn ones finger back on themselves. My father died when I was a small kid. From my experience, I doubt that not having a male role model in one's life is the deciding factor in AA poverty. The States with the lowest delinquency rates, Alaska, Utah, Wyoming are also Red States, do the R's there also keep there citizens "barefoot and dirty"? There are exceptions to every rule.
