It’s wise that they are squarely addressing one of the issues that has hampered their success in myriad ways. Data indicates single parent households tend to languish in poverty. Data correlates poverty with crime rates, poor health, subpar education, limited employment and housing opportunities, etc.

But the reality is that much of the stress and negative outcomes flow from single parenting in the black community. I don’t think these relationships and supports they promote will help unless people are living together and sharing bills and child rearing.

I think this is just another way of saying other people with more means need to support black single parents and their kids because they can't afford to do it themselves.

I don’t think it’s single parents, it’s single moms. This entire anti-nuclear family manifesto could be ended with “because dad left“. Look up the economics of sexual selection in historic moments of skewed gender ratios. In situations where females outnumber males, men compete and marriage becomes a preferable mating strategy. Consider a population in which a number of men are removed from the mating pool by incarceration and you will see a mating strategy that favors mens‘ needs (i.e. and e.g. low investment sexual relationships). In biblical times this was solved with polygamy, but interracial dating will eventually solve this.
