The professor says two-parent minority couples don’t enjoy the advantages that two-parent white couples enjoy. This is an easily testable hypothesis. Just compare the success of minority children born and raised in two-parent households to the success of other minority children born and raised to one-parent households.

I’ll summarize the literature:

In studies involving large samples taken from the general populations two-parent households are associated with success of children whether or not conditioned on race or ethnicity.

In studies involving small samples of this kind of child (e.g., gifted) or that kind of household (e.g., financially-strained), success is sometimes found to be independent of one- or two-parent household.

What the latter studies ignore is that one- versus two-parent households affect things such as giftedness and financial condition.

If this helps, I’ll put this into abstract terms:

If X causes Y and Y causes Z, then X indirectly causes Z through Y.

Of course, racists will say logic is white, along with 2 + 2 = 4, math in general, facts, science, history, and reality.

BTW the professor concedes two-parent households confer advantages to whites. So, if you are white, consider how important is bringing children into the world in the context of a two-parent household.

If you aren’t white, think about whether you believe in the American principle that all men are created equal and whether there must be something wrong with an argument that minorities are actually different from whites. If you don’t believe in this principle, please leave. We like the principles on which this country was founded. And we have struggled through the still short history of this country to make these principles into reality. We are NOT going back.

“two-parent households are associated with success”

Can’t have that. If anything is anti-woke and supremist, it’s success.
