I know all about poverty in the urban black underclass. I don’t need to walk far to enter North Lawndale, home of some truly stunning poverty and brutal crimes. The question is not whether many black men and their families are poor. That is evident to even the most cursory glance at the situation. The question is why this is still the case amidst ample government funding and a generation free of de jure segregation.

You seem to be mistaking the effect for the cause. Do you honestly believe that the black family will be improved by simply adding money?
