There are plenty statistics that show a disparity between "all men" and "black men" in categories that should concern all races.
Why the disparity in job type? Perhaps education is the key:
EDUCATION
In 2013 about 48% of Black men 25 and older attended college although half of them did not complete a degree compared to 58% of ‘all men’ who attended college who just under half have no degree (see chart on right).The biggest disparity between Black men and ‘all men’ in America is with those who have a bachelors degree. Only 17% of Black men have a bachelors degree compared to 30% of ‘all men’. Second is the number of Black men who finished high school but did not pursue higher education, 35% compared to 28% of ‘all men’.The percent of Black men who have an associates degree (7%) is equal to that of ‘all men’ (7%) in America (see above table). Only 18% of Black men over 25 did not complete high school. This is still higher than the percent for men of all races and ethnic groups together.
* The "3%" figure under "all men" for "Bachelor's degree or higher" should actually read "30%" as indicated in the paragraph below the illustration.
So we can see that black men are less likely to have a college degree than the "all men" and by the way "all men" is also including black men, which would in turn weigh down the number. So if you removed blacks from "all men" and make it "all other men", the difference would be even more stark.
The question is abundantly clear by now; why aren't black men interested or able to attend/complete college?
About 6% of working-age (18-64yrs old) Black men are currently in state or federal prison, or in a municipal jail (see chart right).This is three times higher than the 2% of ‘all men’ in the same age group. What’s even more concerning is that approximately 34%* of all working-age Black men who are not incarcerated are ex-offenders compared to 12% of ‘all men’ which means they have at one point in their lives been convicted of a felony. This data coincides with the increased absence of Black men in the labor force because ex-offenders are prevented from obtaining a large percentage of occupations either by law and are often legally be discriminated against by private employers.
So one reason that black men cannot attend/complete college is that many of them are either in jail/prison or have been recently. So why then is that the case?
This is the birthrate for unwed women, black vs white. Note that the trend is drawing closer, showing that black women are still having a higher birthrate while unwed than are white women, but the difference is greater than the eyeball test on the chart reveals. The gap is still narrowing.
Now look at the birthrate for married women. Note that married white women are having more children than married black women on average. What does that say to you? It says to me a couple of things (putting the two charts together).
1. Black men don't want to raise black kids, often it cramps their individual "style"
2. Black women are complicit with black men
When a black man marries a black woman, they tend to have fewer children than when they are not married. Why?
1. There's no government income source for the black child
2. Black married men are often educated and are career minded, as are the women, so children might come later
The numbers are skewed by the massive amount of unwed blacks, male and female, producing offspring. The numbers don't say who's living together, but it's apparent that there's no benefit to being married for black people who aren't career minded people. Children are an income source for many of these people.
When a child is only an income source, the child doesn't get the attention it deserves as a developing mind. Dad isn't around and mom is trying to produce the next income source. The child gets to an age where it becomes self aware and begins to realize it's only an income source, not loved or wanted. It finds comfort in the presence of other children who face the same dilemma. These people grow up to a different reality than most white/black children from married parents. They don't pursue education, just income sources. Since a black man cannot become pregnant, most of those income sources are going to be illegal; it's quick, it's easy and it's "cool". That lands them in trouble with the law.
While the white man has his white trash relative who does similar things, it's frowned upon in the white community. You rarely if ever hear bragging about doing prison time or committing crimes or having babies out of wedlock in the white community. That's because a disproportionate number of whites are not raised by their peers, but instead by their elders/parents. Elders and parents have corporate knowledge about life in general, peers have wants and misconceptions about life.
Summary: Blacks teach other blacks to fail. It's apparent even on this forum where even pretend blacks preach hatred and dissent, and loath education and success. There's a pervasive theme of "yall shouldn't put up with that, but I'm an educated black so I'll just dissent" here. Elsewhere it's just action by example, and that example is by peers, not by elders.
The good news is that the trend is decreasing even if the numbers are growing. Eventually blacks will favor education, perhaps not in this century though.

It doesn't matter. It's far easier to blame than to actually acknowledge the root problem and work to change it.
I have about a dozen black buddies, probably about the same with white guys. Played ball in HS and the city leagues with most of them, some from my work experience. Almost all my black friends came from one parent homes. Most never knowing their father. That right there is the huge difference in blacks from everyone else. Black men are not domestic, they want to roam. Sitting home with the wife and kids.....boring. They'd rather be out with their friends.
That right there is why we see all the problems we do with the blacks, they are raised without any male guidance.
There have been a few times where my son Mason (years ago, he's now 21) would be hassling Judy over something then the minute I walk in....debate over. We don't see that in most (about 70%) black homes, by 14ish mom can't handle son any more. They both need a man there and he's been gone for a long time.
Just like slavery, blacks can only blame themselves.
but they holdin' us back
People need to stop treating their race like it's a sports team. I'm me, and that's all I'll ever be. I could care less that blacks as a group struggle from positive leadership. Race doesn't (meaning shouldn't) matter, and the sooner people internalize that, the less they'll be inclined to curb their behavior based on how they think they should act.
Though we really need to have a standardized quality of education. It simply makes no sense that rich neighborhoods have better public schools than poor neighborhoods.
They all have adequate school facilities and qualified teachers.
if you are going to judge good and bad schools by test scores alone then you need to be intellectually honest and factor in the quality of student the different schools have to work with. I'm not saying the students are dumber, I'm saying they are culturally predisposed not to value education.
why can't we say that? why is it OK to acknowledge that some races are better athletes than others but not that there are differences in mental capacity as well?
Why this need to ignore the obvious differences? Why ignore the fact most Mexicans drive around without car insurance and can't drive worth a damn? Why ignore the differences musical tastes, the differences in eating habits, the differences in crime? We are different so why play games?.
It's not about mental capacity , it's about not caring to educate.
Oh I agree with that also.
It's not about race but about being poor, tbh. I read a statistic somewhere that if you're born poor the odds of you drying poor are very high. This was in the USA.
Because das raycis
I read a statistic somewhere that if you're born black then the odds of dying black are very high. This was also in the USA.
Yeah. I guess I should revisit all the great contributions to math and science that they have made.
See Michael Jackson.
Ok. Done.
Don't tell me you can't understand the complicated statistical calculation of "very high".
Huh...someone called me..I'm Darrell's cousin and we look just alike
This is a life experience something you pick up on a long the way. I have never seen a black guy with a book. Have never met one with much depth about a lot of things.
I had a black friend that was smart as . Also had a true photographic memory. He'd you up so bad in your trivia bull . How devastated would you be.
that's a lot of college dropouts
First off never use...one...as some example for anything, ok? Second off there is nobody today or in history who can stand toe to toe with me when it comes to trivia, if we are talking....pro rasslin', blues, football and track. I am the King.
I have been all over the place out there in cyber space looking for that guy who can hang with me, there isn't one.
