Having fathers in the home and/or neighborhood benefits black boys.

This article explains in a kind way everything that's wrong with PCism. The folks who conducted this study misrepresent their own data so as not to say what is exceeding obvious: having fathers around benefits kids. Why acknowledging such an obvious truth is offensive blows my mind. And I see no reason why this would apply more specifically to black kids vs white kids. Even a marginally competent father with limited part time work provides an extra pair of hands for childcare, child teaching, income, etc. Or the potential for as much.
