EXPOSED: The fatherless crisis no-one is talking about

So 63% of black Caribbean households, yeah, are lone parent households.

Just bear that in mind.

Now, when we look at black African, it's 43%, and when we look at mixed white and black Caribbean, it's 41%.

This is in contrast to Indian kids at only 6%, and the UK average being 22%.

So that means that black children are either two or three times more likely to grow up without their father.

That is a damning statistic.

That's a very worrying statistic.

And a personal anecdote, I grew up in a household without my dad, but obviously me and my dad had a very friendly relationship, quite close.

Um, I grew up with him around.

He just didn't live in my house.

Um, I was born in separation, but I know my dad.

I see my dad.

I was with him like two weeks ago.

So like me and my dad grew up together.

But the-- but you know, he didn't live with me.

You know, he wasn't an authority in my household and that definitely played a role.

I can't tell you what that played 'cause I, I lived it.

I don't know.

I, I can't quite pinpoint how it felt or what it, what it was like, but I know it must have played a role in my grow- in my childhood, like in me growing up.

So those numbers alone are scary 'cause that means that over half of all Caribbean kids don't have a dad in the house, and obviously 40% of African kids.

Now, obviously the data, and I know, I know the comments are coming, "Oh, but what about Nigerians?" Or, "What about Ghana?" I don't know.

The data doesn't separate it by which African country.

So before you start crying, yeah, just, it just says black African, and I will put all the sources in the description as I always do.

Okay? So that's a bit worrying.

Another thing is that a study by the CSJ found that there are like deep pockets.
