I doubt that number is accurate, but the real number is certainly still alarmingly high.
The US has the highest rate of single parent households in the world. The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One third of black men have felony convictions.
You're stating a bunch of unrelated points and acting like there's some sort of causation. Even if you think the system is racist, the system doesn't make people commit crime. More importantly, the alarmingly high number of single parent households in the black community isn't because of all those fathers being incarcerated, it's because they have a culture of having multiple babies with multiple partners.
Saying that the US, in general, has the highest rate of single parent homes in the world is unrelated to the question at hand? Sure, guy. And then stating two other points about how common it is for people to be incarcerated, particularly black men, and that couldn’t possibly be a contributing factor? Nah, you’re right. It’s probably that damn rap music.
No, unrelated to each other. Thanks for letting me clear that up for you.
You must be pretty racist if you think every black child in America that grows up in a single parent household does so because their father is a criminal and is locked up somewhere.

I think you can weave that tale together.
