but if you look at some predominantly black communities that are majority fatherless households that causes lots of issues.

Years ago listened to a group discuss this on the radio. They were mostly talking about how white kids who grew up in a fatherless home were just as likely to have problems as black kids, just much more prevalent in the black community. There's also a big difference between a kid having their dad die young (heart attack, wreck, etc) and a dad walking out on the family or going to prison, big difference in the psyche to a child. Kid's who's dad abandoned the family or chose a fake life on the streets can't comprehend that, like they can their dad dying from a medical issue or wreck. They end up many times with the same fate as their dad, in prison, drugs, etc.
