The main point of the article appears to be that there's nothing inherent to black men that makes them care less about their kids, which I would hope is pretty obvious to anyone participating in this discussion. Cliff's point was different - that there is a much higher proportion of black families that are single-parent than in other communities, and that this contributes significantly to the overall economic disadvantage faced by black people in the USA, because a person who grew up in a single parent home (regardless of race) faces worse outcomes later in life. Again, Cliff can correct me if I'm wrong.
Yeah ain't I the worst.

Regardless, he originally brought this up as a point as why blacks are targeted more by casual racists more than asians in the US, which in itself is a pretty ####ty statement.
