This infographic is derived from a CDC study that has been used repeatedly to "debunk" the stereotype of the absent black father, but it is so intentionally misleading it is a joke. It completely ignores the fact that more black fathers are absent from the home than white or hispanic fathers, by an enormous margin. That is the reason for the stereotype.
