>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.
I don't know who Candace is, but having her Facebook account suspended might not be all bad.
Regarding reducing black father-absence -
I don't have a clue about it and I think that it's the epitome of arrogance for someone who has never lived that experience to conjecture about "reducing " it.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
