Probably the wrong ones. Example: in recent days prominent black commentator Candace Owens had her Facebook account suspended for declaring that white supremacy isn't a threat to Black America as much as FATHER-ABSENCE and the liberal policies that incentivize it.

As usual I went to source- and stats on fatherless black families and poverty are staggering.

IOW she's right that father-absence is a massive barrier to Black advancement (followed by abortion but she didn't say that and lets not go there right now)

Candace's view is that liberal politicians who wax lyrical about caring for black communities have inflicted a cruel poverty trap and now blame white privilege or anybody else except themselves. Those policymakers are the racists if you care about outcomes, not speeches.

Response? Suspend her. What a naughty girl for calling out that the Emperor has no clothes.

How to reduce father-absence? Maybe "wave a magic wand" to bring back blue collar jobs even if only for one more generation before robots, so young men regain a sense of pride and participation in social compact. "Teach them to fish" and then help them lift promising kids out of the poverty trap. There's precedent: in living memory Northern Ireland was a hot-bed of terrorism and sectarian violence that was overturned in less than a generation by jobs and prosperity for whoever wanted to work.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
