Lack of opportunity is due to a lack of marketable skills. Lack of

Until someone can solve the unwed mother issue and the "Uncle Tom"
issue, nothing is going to change. Ebonics and a 6th grade education
does not cut the mustard in the real world.

Baloney.

Lack of marketable skills certainly is a chiller in terms of getting a
job. Your pinning the lack of those skills on "lack of a strong family
role model and support" due to "cultural issues," "unwed mother issue,
"Uncle Tom" issue and "ebonics" are overly general and put the cart
before the horse. The root causes are hundreds of years of racism and
poverty.
