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.

Latinos have the same issues with education, racism and poverty along
with a language issue but they seem to succeed at a far higher rate.
The difference is a better family structure. When that family
structure fails, they end up in similar circumstances.

Unfortunately the government welfare programs encourage mothers not
having a man in the house since that cuts the amount of assistance
they can receive.

Again, it's a product of their environment thing. If the parents, and
others in the family worked hard to better themselves and get ahead, the
kids then tend to. If the parents and others in the family think that
selling crack on the street corner in the hood is a valuable life
lesson, then the kids tend to do so as well. Damned shame, and I'm not
sure what the answer is.
