Why are they a lot of social problems in the black community compared to Asians and whites?

As a black man I can tell you why: it seems to be that the black American community refuses to grow, I hate to say it. No doubt, the systems are still stacked against black people in credit, housing, criminal prosecution, and even representation of beauty standards, while whites are still largely favored for progress and opportunity.

However, the black American community can still do much more within itself to improve, but we choose not to. We perpetually want to hold on to living inside a box of everything being "black." We use the failures of white people for why we won't take any personal responsibility for our communities and our own cultural issues. We continue to stay chained to rap music, loving crime, idolizing football, cannabis, and the street life. Are there plenty of white people doing the same thing? Of course, but black American communities seem to make these things our signature. And I'm unhappy about it. We value these things above education and progress, and then blame the world for why few of our kids make it through college.

Lots and lots of reasons but, in my opinion, the main cause of it all is that the family unit has basically been destroyed in that community. There are rarely, in tact 2 parent homes with a dad in the house. Those other ethnicities the family pushes their kids and is involved in their lives. Especially in the Asian homes. Their kids are pushed to learn, study, take music lessons achieve all throughout their lives. It is their culture.

In a lot of the inner cities that have the problems, there are endless families with no dad or one woman having 5 kids from 5 different men... etc.

Endless studies show increases of crime, gang participation, drug use, dropping out of school, promiscuity when kids grow up without a dad.

There is a saying: "fathers keep their sons out of prison and their daughters off the stripper pole."

How course, a woman working at a fast food place won’t make enough money to send a child to college. You need both parents to combine their income.

No father to discipline the child either. The men, the child especially if it’s a boy will look up to are drug dealers, and gang bangers.

Low expectations and tolerance for what others would consider to be the intolerable.

They've been told for decades that no problems are their fault, a complete dismantling of the family by leftist policies, Theyve been brainwashed to believe they're victims and have the right to compensation for perceived wrongs. A culture full of violent, gang-related media.

[Asker]

That victim mentality is not how you become successful.

[gorydetails]

The evidence is apparent that what you said is true.
