Duuuude, if you can find that, I would LOVE it. I've been preaching for years that the biggest problem in the black community is the lack of fathers.
I think it was on voat unfortunately. But this is the best I have available: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/19/upshot/race-class-white-and-black-men.html
"The few neighborhoods that met this standard were in areas that showed less discrimination in surveys and tests of racial bias. They mostly had low poverty rates. And, intriguingly, these pockets — including parts of the Maryland suburbs of Washington, and corners of Queens and the Bronx — were the places where many lower-income black children had fathers at home. Poor black boys did well in such places, whether their own fathers were present or not."

I don't understand this point they are making.
So black boys, where fathers were at home, did better even if the fathers were not at home? Not your fault, it's the author's fault. And I cannot access that site: NYT has blocked me from all their content unless I pay.
Yes, that's the gist of it... the % of homes in your neighborhood with married fathers seems to be the real key variable. And if you search the headline of the article I think it lets you read it. Or just search that text and you should be able to find something.
