    You are just dancing at this point and not really saying anything. I have directly answered you on why there’s a deduction in crime yet you are still trying to find a way that it can’t be because fathers are not in the homes. Statistically it shows children without Fathers in the home are more likely to commit crimes, less educated, and are less prone to financial success later in life.

    You literally provided an answer about why absentee fathers might not be nearly as strong or singular a factor as you believe it to be. And while I might disagree about the other causes you provided, that these other causes exist is what you're not reconciling with your theory, despite providing these other causes as explanations.

    FTR, I have not once written that fathers not in the home "can't be" a factor. I've written repeatedly that it's significant. We've known it for decades and no one is denying this fact. But it's not the only factor that explains the problems. We also know that socioeconomic status exerts significant influences on family factors & individual factors and thus an array of outcomes for juveniles. This is why the extent of the problems such as juvenile delinquency and educational underachievement for male juveniles in fatherless middle-class homes is significantly less important and influential than it is for juveniles in poor communities.

    You brought up a graph on that black crimes have dropped from 1994 to 2019 at a 60% rate. Not mentioning, The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, commonly known as the crime bill, that was sponsored by our very President Joe Biden 29 years ago. Which had often been blamed for extending tough-on-crime policies that overly criminalized Black Americans. It has imprisoned a lot have Black Americans which has decreased crimes as well.

    Let’s begin with the facts. Between the end of the 1960s to the beginning of the 1990s, the overall rate of violent crime more than doubled before peaking in 1991 and beginning a long-term decline that brought the rate back down to the levels of the early 1970s. What also happened in the mid 1960s The Great Society which in turn brought less and less fathers into black homes. It’s funny how crimes went up during that time period. The homicide rate followed a similar pattern, with less variation between peaks and troughs. Between 1980 and 2006, the incarceration rate more than quadrupled because of the Violent Crime Act.

    Again, even with the declining crime rates, it still doesn’t change the fact that more people and specifically black Americans are more prone to commit crimes and to be incarcerated coming from a single mother household.

    Lastly, and again you are truly just dancing at this point. You are really on my side. You and others just didn’t like when I said things like feminism killed the black community, black women don’t value black men, etc. It got your attention and others, I do that often to get people to open their ears and listening.
