What you say may be true, however, you conveniently glossed over the word "solid" in the statement of a "solid, 2-parent family". Statistics and studies, over many years and situations, have proven that children raised in solid, 2-parent homes have a better chance at success in the world than those that don't. This has been particularly true of those families that have lived and survived in the housing complexes occupied for the most part by our black, fellow Americans. It's sad that those conditions prevail, but they will not be resolved if one sticks their head in the sand and fails to admit they exist. Throwing money at this problems has totally failed as a solution so, until we get people who really care, in places of governance, with the fortitude to take politics out of the equation, and enact something meaningful, this problem may be with us for a long time.
