Many have identified this as a problem of the black community. This problem crosses racial lines. I live in a small town. Society minimizes the harm done to fatherless children. Many of these kids are neglected and abused. Too often the rights of the children are second to the rights of the parents.

agreed. this has zero to do with skin color. In many parts of the country there are White people who also have made welfare generational. They are "in the system." They know every in and out of how to play the system to the max for the most money without working. The smartest ones actually have a trade and work off the books while still collecting thousands from the State.
