Ezekiel 25:17

A significant amount of that number is gaming the system. There is no incentive for a mother to claim a father, even tho he may be present while a mother is at a certain income bracket. Coincidentally, that it is the same income bracket most 19-25yr old mothers in the black community are at when they have their first kid.
So I dont believe the single parent household stat, fathers are present in many of these cases.
For example, the mother in that thumbnail with 4 kids could easily be making 25k at a job and then claiming a combined total of 20k from numerous federal or local programs, in addition to having subsidized housing.
Gaming the system? You probably would've had me at 47% or some shyt. But it's 64%.
And if you have to game the system, well that further implies we're broken.
