When controlling for poverty, black people still have higher crime rates - but this is not really the case if you control for *single motherhood*; as in, poor black communities with lots of fathers don't have more crime. Cool - if this is true, this seems useful! But- 2/

Arguably the higher targeting and incarceration rates of black men preventing families with a male role model at home played a large, if not main, role as well. Not sure Crowder ever brings that into the argument when he's discussing this.

This has been a reactionary piece of propaganda since the 1960s
