70% of black children are raised by a single mother.
Black on black violence is so common that it never makes the news.
Black people are given a leg up on other races in almost every way (affirmative action, hiring quotas, grants, etc) except for the most important aspect of life which is having two loving parents.
In majority black cities with majority black politicians and majority black teachers (where most kids don't ever see a white person throughout the day) they're lucky if 5% of kids in each grade level can read and write well enough to deserve being moved on to the next grade level.
But yeah it's totally racism that's holding them back. If only Bubba from Tennessee would take down that confederate flag, little Jamal in Baltimore would start trying hard in school and would stay out of trouble.

It doesn't make the news because it goes counter to the narrative. Especially because it's common, but I doubt they'd talk about it if it wasn't.
