The reasons are multifactorial.

You've nailed three of them on the head.

I was reading an article about the problems with blacks killing blacks in American cities. One of the black commentators mentioned the statistic that 77%of black families are single parent (i.e. absent fathers), so they have unstable upbringing within the home, then there's peer pressure to join gangs, education goes out the window.

I mentioned previously about a Michael Mosley documentary about different types of intelligence. He interviewed a very radical thinking University Professor who asserted that black males on average were 18 points lower than their white counterparts. Mosley and the politically correct called or thought of him as racist. All he was highlighting and what he actually mentioned were the mitigating circumstances that led to this disparity.

Those who claimed he was racist, actually were the ones discriminating against the very people they were purporting to support.

Talk openly and constructively and there's potential to move forward.

Bury one's head in the sand, claim others are racist and nothing ever moves forward.
