> Blacks have a huge disadvantage of poor upbringing by their own family and community

The actual issue is they have to interview with people holding the same ignorant assumptions you do.

This is what the science actually says. Black disfunction is attributed to culture spread from adults to children. Black mothers, for example, criticize their children more often than they praise them, but the reverse is true for white mothers. That's just an example of the kind of cultural effect that can be included - I'm not sure if that one specifically has been shown to be causative of lifelong disadvantage.

Definitely black people's fault... hey you coming to the meeting next week? we got a lot of crosses to burn, could use your help.

Good to see you creepin in homes listening to black mothers not give enough praise to their kids, thats great research for the cause.

You want researchers to not attempt to identify the causes of black social problems? Why's that? So you can promote your own ideologically motivated causes without any bothersome science getting in the way?

And then "helping them" with public assistance programs that have rules that are purpose built to incentivize familial instability.
