According to the Institute for Family Studies, only 22% of black kids are raised by both birth parents throughout childhood. It's 58% for white kids. (https://ifstudies.org/blog/1-in-2-a-new-estimate-of-the-share-of-children-being-raised-by-married-parents)

58% is a disaster for society. 22% is beyond words. Nothing can fix the damage done by not being raised by your biological Mom and Dad.

I don't know how our society will address this but if we don't make this the absolute top priority then we're just doing Cargo Cult Sociology.
