Unwed births, illiterate children and black-on-black crime: What Chicago’s mayoral candidates ignore – Wirepoints
"Chicago’s mayoral candidates may seem like they’re paying attention to the plight of the black community when they talk about crime, more money for city schools, and tough job prospects.
But they won’t talk about the uncomfortable issues. Like fathers who’ve gone missing. Or kids who can’t read. Or the hair-trigger violence that’s fueled by low self-esteem.
There’s more that’s off the table: merit, achievement and excellence.
To progressives who celebrate black victimhood, these assertions will seem to be way over the line. They’re not.
Because if you won’t talk about births to unmarried mothers, kids raised without fathers and students who are functionally illiterate, you’re skating past the root causes of today’s troubles. The numbers are eye-popping: 8 of every 10 black babies in Chicago are born to an unmarried mother. Only 1 in 10 black students in Chicago Public Schools can read at grade level. Four of every five Chicago murder victims is black. And seven out of every ten known murder perpetrators in Chicago is black.
The data is hiding in plain view."
