Its a rhetorical question

No, it wasn't. It wasn't rhetorical. You were being racist and biased in your question and now trying to hide behind rhetorics. You think you're the first person with bias I've seen who's trying to "I was joking!" his way out of their bigotry? Lol

for you to see the flaw in the picture painted by the "meme"

There is no "flaw" in the comic. It's showing the VERY REAL difference in treatment among white and black people

Look at the graphs for single motherhood

Maybe you should actually read the article before asking me to look only at a specific portion of the whole story. Especially since, at the very beginning, the author herself wrote

But a growing literature is demonstrating how the impact of single parenthood and family structure on children varies by racial group, including evidence that Black children experience smaller single motherhood “penalties” for some outcomes, like education.

So, once again, your comment was poorly thought out. The article you yourself shared, was exploring HOW they differ and it even talked about possible socioeconomic reasons for why there are differences. What it didn't do, is carrying out a census to show if indeed black men are more likely to leave their families.

And now, please stop trying to wiggle your way out of your bigoted comment. I don't care about such sad attempts. Bye

No, it wasn't. It wasn't rhetorical.

Just because you don't know what rhetorical means, doesn't mean it wasn't rhetorical.

The study is about the correlation between single-motherhood and child poverty. Don't take a random quote from the article in some attempt at gotcha, when you didn't even address the question.

It doesn't really conclude anything other than the evidence is showing that marriage might not be the great savoir of children from poverty that some might think. That does NOT change the fact that black women by far in a way are the largest single mother group according to the data. Now, ill grant you that it doesn't say anything about the race of the father. There might well be hispanic, white and Asian men that are the fathers in question.

Just ignoring the fact doesn't help. Poverty doesn't explain the entire discrepancy. Unjustly incarecerated black men might be an answer? Justly incarecerated black men? Chauvinistic tendencies in a social group?

More to the point of the meme. It's a legit question. Rude and racist, but true. All the other questions in the meme are blatantly racist since they don't even quantify.
