The government isn't god and the government will never replace a family and local community. Its as simple as that.
Also there are a lot of poor and broke people around the world and not everyone has the same problems. One thing that is unique in the black community is single parenthood being rampant which makes raising a kid SOLO, harder. It's hard enough to raise a kid with two parents, imagine trying to do it alone. So that is one thing that individuals in their own homes need to fix. As a kid of a single mother, I recognized that just by being a male and getting older my mother while was a great single parent was lacking in ways that a man fills in the gap when it comes to raising a young man and I was a very chill kid who was more quiet and a homebody more than the average teen so she was lucky in that regard. Still there was a lot of unsupervised and unstructured periods of time that I lived in because with one parent in the house, someone has to go to work and provide and that means less at home time with the kid.
So that is one thing at a local level that needs to be fixed. A male has an authority in the home, especially over male children that a woman more times than not simply cannot project.
Not saying all the stuff about lack of opportunities and stuff that a government can be doing don't have an impact but in my opinion, the above is the biggest issue.
P.S. you don't HAVE to own a television.
