Avoid societal norms of hard work, family, and frugality at your own peril. These basic laws of despair avoidance have been mischaracterized by the left as racist/patriarchal/etc. since the Moynihan report.

The percentage are helpful but I also think about this in pure numbers in the applicant pool. CDC data shows there are about 73 million children in America. About 47 million of the 73 million kids live in two parent households (highest chance of despair avoidance). Only 3.2 million of those 47 million are black.

44 million non-black kids with a good chance vs. only 3 million black kids. That is crazy.
