Significant fractions of the white and hispanic populations in the US are following the failed subpopulation of the african-american population into social collapse, just a few generations later, roughly as Julius Wilson would have predicated. Heckman noted several decades ago that the children of college educated mothers were a standard deviation about the children of high school dropouts at age 2, and this difference tended not to change much by the time the kids turned 18. As Edie DeBoer noted, the schools can't fix the issue. And they have tried really really hard. My son-in-law's route out was a stint in the Marines, but a lot of the boys we are talking about couldn't get into the service if they tried. It is really hard for single mothers to raise boys - in general boys need rather strong guidance to keep them close enough to the straight and narrow.
