This is CNN:
Black dads are more likely to play, dress and share a meal with their child, data shows
Seventy percent of Black fathers who live with their children were most likely to have bathed, dressed, changed or helped their child with the toilet every day, compared with their White (60%) or Hispanic (45%) counterparts, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2013 National Health Statistics Report.
Those Black fathers were also most likely to have eaten a meal with their children, the data showed.
These numbers were high, and not just for biological fathers living inside the home, said Dr. Erlanger Turner, a licensed psychologist and associate professor of psychology at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, via email.
“It also indicates that Black fathers often step into the role of (stepparent) or maintain consistent involvement when living outside of the home,” he added.
I guess when you exclude 65% of the population, it's easy to come up with these numbers.

That's the perfect progressive headline. They've honed their rhetorical craft to a T. The statistics don't matter, if you can get the straight story from the lived experience of real black dads. That's the only thing that'll convince a white progressive anyway. What they need to know about black dads, must come from a black dad. Then the white progressive editor chooses a black dad to tell the story that the white progressive wants to put out there.

I'd love to be in the room when the social media manager's boss asks them just what the fuck is up with the disclaimer that was added to the bottom. High hilarity.

Sure, because the mother is in jail.
