    It stems and derives from other black people more than anything else.

    The poverty rate for blacks was 34% in 1970.

    45 years and hundreds of billions of dollars later it is 28%.

    The OP is correct that the government literally pays women to be single parents and welfare payments make it a money loser to get a job on top of that as well. So both marriage and employment is literally unaffordable. If a person never has an entry level job the person then can never move up the employment ladder. So developing a career by employment doesn't have. Since this is now into the 3rd generation, it has become a welfare life style. If a person sees that their future, then there also is no interest in education.

    I then believe this also contributed highly to the crime rate - but NOT due to higher sentencing for crack as the OP asserts. Rather, it is that men are not anchored to family responsibilities and a sense of duty, investment in their family, and reasons to play it clean in terms of law. So the crime rates are also due to the welfare state paying to break up families and paying to seek education and employment - leading then to un-anchored men to a family and a future with that family. They do not turn to the family to support each other or to employment, but rather to the government for support. Added to this is "idle hands is the devil's workshop."

    Unfortunately, anyone proposing any changes is accused of being a bigot and racist unsympathetic to the poor, plus there are basically Congressional districts whereby elections are based upon maintaining this system while ranting the government so give more money into this system - always worsening it instead.
