>The politicians need to promote laws that will give incentives to create strong families
Such as?
And I would argue that split families are a symptom, not the cause. Same thing that happened to Korean families living in Japan during the occupation. When you redline and over police and restrict opportunities to a community the families often fall apart.
And they have shown that a "broken" black familyin the US growing up in a place with good opportunities and outcomes have the same success rate as kids of white families with similar situations.
So focusing on the family is usually just a way of ignoring underinvestment and lack of opportunity and demonizing black people.

My comment stated i dont have the incentive laws but i imagine some sort of tax break or homeownership program for married families only. U mention ignoring and demonizing or underinvesting in black people but i never said anything related to it. In fact the incentives would help to invest in the black community. The problem is a family and cultural problem that promotes self destructive behavior. Split families are a symptom of destructive culture and actions promoted by governments and corps. But this is a local solution for local govt so i wont address that.

There are black groups that do very well(Nigerians). The problem is with the culture in certain neighborhoods that have an extreme single mother household problem and government dependency problem.

You are proving my point. Nigerian people do not grow up in the neighborhoods we are talking about.
